As seen in the video, the members called him "Park Jimin." However, the subtitles said, "Ddak Jimin" or "Chicken Jimin," which enraged fans.

"It is incredible that Hybe being such a large company does not realize the errors. It makes me so pathetic that the artist who feeds you does not have the respect he deserves, and this is not the first time. 'HYBE RESPECT JIMIN,'" another added.

HYBE has not released a statement to address the rumors.
