Netizens Debunk BTS’s J-Hope Sliding Into DMs Of Popular TikToker
On February 7, BTS J-Hope‘s supposed activity on social media gained attention.
In January, the idol created a TikTok account, sharing videos of various dance challenges and more. He has also followed several accounts on the platform, including a popular Filipina dancer and social media influencer, Niana, who excitedly shared the news.
After this, Niana’s manager shared a photo showing J-Hope DMing the young star, asking for advice and adding, “Please teach me TikTok.”
Since then, some netizens have felt that the DM portion of the situation was false and have provided proof of this.
The post by her manager was deleted shortly after, which is part of what many claim is proof of the DM being fake. A netizen who took a closer look at the message shared details about TikTok’s alleged system, claiming that J-Hope’s account would have appeared differently if real.
🚨PLEASE READ🚨
‼️This is NOT from Hobi‼️Dancer Niana Guerrero’s manager shared this picture on Instagram but this is ⚠️NOT⚠️ Hobi’s real account! The picture has now been deleted.
Hobi’s account is VERIFIED and a BLUE CHECK should appear always next to his @ or username.… pic.twitter.com/7ayitE4bSG

Some pointed to small details of the account compared to J-Hope’s real account, affirming their belief that a fan account was behind the DM sent to Niana.
Fans clearly stated that the alleged debunking was not an attack on Niana, but rather a wish for J-Hope’s privacy to be truthfully and accurately respected.
Glad I didn’t say a single word about this even when i wanted to. True or not , DMs are something personal, even if the receiver is publicising it, “We” as fans shouldn’t share them & make it a news. Well it’s just what i think. https://t.co/SrbAwBuzNJ

this is exactly why privacy should never be treated so casually. once it’s out there, it can’t be taken back. :) this whole situation is a reminder that sharing private convos without proper verification isn’t just irresponsible. IT IS DISRESPECTFUL. why would u even do this 🫤 https://t.co/zbVnmSkZhZ

i think it was shared as a prank. probably they didn't know fans would be sold. but i feel relieved knowing it's fake 😆

Other still believe the DM was real and see no reason for concern over J-Hope’s message to the young dancer, who is a known ARMY.
the hate Niana is receiving from this account is UNREASONABLE.
this just shows how jealous this op is about Niana's recognition by Hobi. Their "evidence" doesn't even make sense. How can you receive a notification from an account you don't even follow?😂f https://t.co/IhZ4n1m9fj

??? this is FALSE that’s jhope’s acc for sure
(1) did you really think niana, with 44.7M followers, would have notifications on for EVERY message request sent to her? no, only for mutuals
(2) the blue check does not appear for message previews https://t.co/UgtajKn2pI— tsukki⁷ (@ddaenggtan) February 8, 2025
