Malicious graffiti attacks aimed at singer BoA are causing frowns.
Recently, malicious graffiti attacks targeting BoA were captured in the Gangnam area of Seoul. Negative comments about BoA were being scrawled across public transport stops and billboards in Gangnam Station, Sinnonhyeon Station, and Yeoksam-daero in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
This was revealed through online communities and social media on the 10th, creating a shock. According to reports, graffiti captured in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, has also been spotted in Gwangjin-gu and Gangdong-gu.
Fans who learned of the news have also taken action themselves. They shared images of themselves erasing the graffiti. The fans have expressed their concern, fearing that BoA might see the negative comments.
In fact, BoA has shown a quick response to online public sentiment. When he was embroiled in controversy during a drunken live broadcast at the home of his close friend, Jun Hyun-moo, he had issued an apology through the fandom platform.
At that time, BoA confessed, "Over the past few years, I have gone through difficult times both personally and professionally. Nevertheless, I believed that I have done my best. However, I also thought that this might have been uncomfortable for some people."
He also stated, "I apologize to everyone who might have felt uncomfortable with my rash words, actions, and immature behavior shown during the recent SNS live. First, I conveyed my apologies to Ms. Park Na-rae for mentioning her inappropriately in her absence, and I thank you for your generous understanding."
Meanwhile, some internet users have speculated that a middle-aged man is the culprit behind the graffiti. A witness account in an online community reported seeing a middle-aged man writing insults about BoA on an electronic billboard. Attention is also being drawn to whether the perpetrator can be apprehended.
