NCT’s Park Jisung has been dragged in an alleged internet scandal involving Stray Kids’ Han Jisung. NCTizens, as NCT fans are called, began trending the K-pop star’s name with various heartwarming hashtags to clear up the searches. Some of the hashtags included Park Jisung Best Boy, Park Jisung ace and more. Here’s how the mix-up took place.

In an Internet scandal, Stray Kids’ Han Jisung was accused of using the N-word in a pre-debut rap song that has been reportedly deleted from YouTube. Some Twitter users provided translation for the alleged rap where the 20-year-old has used some offensive words. The users claimed that the singer was thirteen while writing the rap song so he needs to be educated rather than canceled.

When the controversy escalated on social media, Jisung took to the Stray Kids’ official Instagram and shared an apology. In a handwritten letter, he sincerely said sorry along with a translation in English.”

The post continued, “He was still pretty bad during his trainee times, he got into fights with almost all the members. He had calmed down a lot, but I hope he and the rest of stray kids educate themselves more on racial issues. In 2018, he did suggest that Changbin gets reggae hair, and was really surprised when Felix shut down Woojin when Woojin suggested Felix get dreads.”
