On December 21, a coordinated online campaign targeting Stray Kids' Felix has surfaced on X. This comes ahead of his scheduled appearance on You Quiz on the Block on the 24th. Multiple fan accounts report that K-akgaes are actively planning actions aimed at excluding and discrediting the K-pop idol. The alleged activity began soon after the episode announcement and has since escalated.
According to shared evidence, the group discussed sending protest trucks and funeral wreaths to JYP Entertainment. Some reportedly disguised themselves as OT8 supporters to garner wider backing. It is also reported that actions were timed to coincide with the broadcast, fueling negative reactions.
Moreover, screenshots show dehumanizing remarks, ableist insults, and hostile claims about his character and personal ties. However, a global fanbase on X, @FLXCentral, for Felix released a statement addressing organized attacks aimed at excluding him from the fandom.
📢 Statement Regarding Organized Akgae Inciting the Exclusion of FelixWe have recently received reports regarding organized groups of k-side akgaes who are attempting to exclude Felix from the fandom, using his guest appearance on You Quiz on the Block as an excuse for coordinated attacks. The attached image show examples of the insults being posted, but they represent only a small portion of the content being shared.This is a malicious extension of the years-long campaign of spreading rumors and attacks against Felix.We have also confirmed that these akgaes are planning on contacting other fanbases, pressuring them to join their coordinated efforts to ostracize him.Such actions constitute clear illegal activities, including the dissemination of false information, defamation, and collective harassment, all of which are subject to legal prosecution. Furthermore, this is a grave issue that causes division within the Stray Kids fandom and severely damages the reputation of the entire group. Their behavior has now reached a criminal level, and we are currently reporting these activities to JYPE with documented evidence.We will monitor this situation to the very end and take all necessary measures to protect Felix. We want to make it clear that we are fully aware of the circumstances and the individuals leading this incitement and exclusion.For the past several years, Felix has been a constant target of rumors created by 'akgaes'. This is not just about Felix; it is a critical threat to the entire fandom, as any member's activities could become the next target of such malicious attacks. We sincerely ask Stays not to support these attacks and to stand together to protect Felix and Stray Kids.
Records are also being archived and formally reported. STAYs continue to rally behind the artist to protect him and encourage others to do the same.
"A group of K-Akagaes who have been spreading vile rumors about FELIX are now planning to ostracize him from the fandom & to send protest trucks and funeral wreaths following his “You Quiz on The Block” episode! #ProtectFelix," an X user commented.#ProtectFelix continues to trend online following the criticism, as many fans spread positive comments.
He is a very noble person at heart and a wonderful person inside and out, if his heart is huge, full of love, he is a being of light with a radiant smile capable of illuminating every empty space of my heart, he does not deserve so much hate, he only deserves love. #Protectfelix
Felix Love♡ He is such a beautiful, kind, genuine soul who deserves nothing but love, peace & happiness. This constant hatred he faces is utterly disgusting; we must support, love and protect our sunshine at all costs. Love always, you are adored Felix🤍#ProtectFelix
Felix, your kindness is a gift to the world. Don’t let the noise drown out the love millions of us have for you. We see your hard work and we are so proud of you. 🤍#ProtectFelix#JYP_Protect_Felix#SunshineFelix#StrayKids
Many believe the hate emerged after his rise to success. Admirers state that the SKZ member earned what he has through "hard work." He didn’t take anything away from anyone, and his progress comes from his "talent" and "effort."
It’s by invite ONLY dumba*s 🤡 and Felix got invited because he’s on demand, everyone loves him, knows him, he’s the most popular member, most relevant, and one last thing, any opportunities that comes Felix way it’s because of his hard work, clean past, and he’s loved!
Everything Felix has earned, he deserves bcs he worked hard for it. He isn’t taking anything from anyone, and his success doesn’t come at the expense of others. Opportunities are given because of effort, talent, and dedication, not bcs something was TAKEN from someone else.
If a brand wanted another member, they would approach that member. Felix does not steal opportunities.If you are unhappy, question the company’s promotion strategy and not Felix, who is simply doing his job.
