Hello fellow Stays, I want to bring attention to something minor but annoying.

On YouTube, there is a channel named “himari riku” that comments the exact same phrase “STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF K-POP” comment on random unrelated viral K-Pop videos in reply sections. Now, obviously, this is a nasty ploy to bring hate to Stray Kids and is 99% a bot. The bot spams this in unrelated videos and reply sections, and people from different fandoms (mainly Armys as the “king of k-pop” title is for BTS) fall for it and began attacking Skz, and they call Stays toxic even though this bot is not a Stay. For example, people start calling Skz racist words and curses over this bot’s comment and get a negative view of stays and start claiming we suck. They literally go on rants about how stays are “awful” for this comment and make an essay about how Skz are “flops”. Actually, a lot of people seem to be aware of this bot but use their comments as a way to attack Skz unprovoked. This bot gets like 10 replies per comment section arguing and attacking Skz. Also this bot spams the same “FELIX IS THE KING OF K-POP” as well.

I’m pretty sure it’s been literal years since this bot started spamming this same comment, I literally see it in almost every comment section. I read from someone that this bot used to spam comments about Big Bang and then when they never got malicious responses they started setting up Stray Kids. I also saw someone mention that this bot is likely made by an Army themselves but it’s just a rumor, one thing for sure is it’s obviously not a stay. I also heard that comments like this are appearing on TikTok (i do not use it much so I don’t know) so this is clearly a problem.

So yeah this isn’t a issue per se but I didn’t see anyone talk about this bot on other sites or raising awareness to it, I even saw Stays falling for it, if you see this bot’s comment on YouTube please report it and I feel like we should find a way to report and take down this bot. On platforms such as Twitter/X, there are thousands of set-up accounts made to bring hate to Skz but it’s so common it’s not worth mentioning. On YouTube however this one bot alone is a reason of hate to Skz. Thanks Stayville!🩵❤️💚
