Article: Person who spread 'Itaewon idol spotting' confesses "I lied"

Source: Money Today via Nate

1. [+313, -12] And how are you going to put out the fire that you started? tsk tsk

2. [+242, -8] Looks like she tried to take someone down for the attention, she's so evil

3. [+229 -15] And yet the haters will never read articles like this ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ because the truth was never important to them in the first place

4. [+30, -0] From the beginning, there was no evidence, which is why Big Hit said they couldn't check for themselves. All of you who assumed that the rumors were true because of that should reflect on how you run your mouths from now on.

5. [+30, -0] So where'd all the hundreds of haters go from yesterday? They all run away?

6. [+26, -0] I'm more amazed that there are fools out there who will believe someone's fabricated story without any picture or video evidence

7. [+24, -4] She's probably apologizing because she's being sued but it's too late now

8. [+21, -0] People like her should be sued...

9. [+18, -0] So many people starved for attention

10. [+17, -0] The reporters who put out articles using an anti's post without even checking the facts are the problem. Reporters these days don't seem to know what the very basic need of their job is.

11. [+15, -2] Big Hit already said refused to comment on yesterday's news because it wasn't worth commenting on. They also uploaded a Jungkook video on their official YouTube as if to tell the haters off!!

12. [+11, -0] So where'd all the hundreds of haters go yesterday? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pisses me off how easy it is to spread rumors

What about that IG message with the bar in Itaewon, with the owner confirming that he was there? Did the owner come out and say that those screen caps were fake?

I honestly don't care for the witch hunt but I'm confused as to how this was all fabricated.

Imagine having a whole Jungkook in a bar and no pics were taken and spread

I wonder how old is the person who posted the fake news. Part of me wants the poster to be severely punished (because 1. it is defamation and 2. others would learn to never do something like her for the sake of attention)...but I couldn't help but wonder if the girl has some issues that cause her to resort to such a malicious method for the sake of attention. Either way, the girl's action is wrong (and revolting). 

Anyways...the reporter who reported the fake news...shame on him or her for not checking for facts and for spreading a damaging "fake rumor" that can severely harm Jungkook's career. Antis won't fact check and they would continue to bring up this issue even though it has been clarify.  

Correction was made because of recent news. Please excuse my error. Thank you.

I hope Bighit sues her. People think they can say whatever they want online without repercussion. 

[hynapia]

BH could sue her for defamation

[car door guy]

BH better sue tf out of her

[KaepJang]

I'm so confused, BH is known for being ruthless with antis and constantly sue them. What did she gain from that ? I also hope they sue these "journalists". Isn't fact checking like the most fundamental part of journalism ? What a joke.

this is not the first time an establishment have supported antis.

Why haters keep trying when they know well that bighit not going to let defamation going away that easily? Like take a clue from those people getting sued last time when they spread sxual harassment rumour about jk. The fact that all this bs always came from the same fandom pretty much telling too. Dumb. I hope the girl get sue soon

[RIPHaldir]

This is the 3rd negative fake controversy antis have tired to spread about jungkook this year, its f****** ridiculous 

[doki-doki]

I knew there was something fishy about it, there was no evidence to indicate that he was ever present. People were spreading a photo around that he wasn’t in and using that as an excuse to hate on him?? I truly hope BH sues and puts her straight like with the other girl who spread false allegations.

Fake.

Rumour was that JK & Cha Eun Woo bought drinks for everyone at the bar -- you would think there would be pictures and social media posts about it. Everything stemmed from the one twitter user. And other antis hopped on using other ppls bar pictures as 'evidence' & got called out for using false pics

The sad thing is that even if there is no proof, nasty people will continue to believe the rumours because they have nothing better to do than be hateful.

Bighit should say something or sue that person to stop it escalating.

[Bhadie]

SUE HER! 

[rananicolee]

She deserves to get sued. This is defamation.

have you ever seen a hater who cared about "truth" to begin with? Lol 

[passing_fancy]

What the fuck did Jungkook even do to deserve this kind of ire from netizens? For getting tattoos? For hanging out with a girl? The fuck is wrong with people?

private messages are not trustworthy because they are easily falsifiable

I wonder if BH is going to sue.  Is it enough level of defamation to be sued? I sure hope so.  

[PockyAddict1989]

people love making up shit about BTS. Why can't they fucking stop.

And yep ya'll are right, if two of korea ent biggest guys were at the place, there would be clear photos left and right. That's how i knew it was bullshit.

jungkook is under attack i guess (or he's the easiest bts' target right now, so it's easier to put rumors on him)
