Recently, Jungkook interacted with posts made by izna’s account, including one of Jungeun dancing to BTS’s “Hooligan.”

Though this was one of many interactions with other idols, it was singled out and called “weird,” mentioning that is 18 and claiming his interactions were not appropriate.
i love Jungkook, but him using "😃🔥" emojis for an girl of 18, in addition to liking her posts unrelated to #BTS, is weird. Jungeun #IZNA is 10 years younger than him and it's not the first time jk interacted differently with minors of 23. He needs to find a woman his own age!! pic.twitter.com/Toy9QIUejB

Fans quickly came to his defense, calling out the sexualization of any comments made by Jungkook as wrong.
you’re actually the sick one for sexualizing a normal interaction he has with a girl and thinking an emoji or a like means anything else. how twisted does your mind have to be to even come up with that interpretation? you’re gross https://t.co/blHCUeWt3y

Jungeun was also defended, as netizens called out the sexualization as misogynistic towards her.
You guys are so misogynist. A girl can't get praised by the biggest star in her industry without her own fans sexualizing her. Free women from gg stans. https://t.co/f6E51QXr0N
