Former DAY6 member Jae, now known as eaJ, recently shared a tweet that fans believe indirectly addresses the wave of criticism aimed at LE SSERAFIM. Known for his outspoken nature, eaJ’s words touched on the troubling lack of empathy in online spaces, and fans have drawn connections between his message and the recent backlash that LE SSERAFIM has endured.
In his tweet, eaJ expressed disbelief at witnessing people mock someone who was clearly emotional. He voiced frustration over how some internet users fail to recognize the potential harm their comments may cause, especially to someone who could already be struggling. “It feels like empathy doesn’t exist on the internet anymore,” he wrote, emphasizing that people may not fully realize the trauma they’re causing.
He continued, “I see people clowning on someone shedding tears and am starting to realize they themselves don’t understand the depth in which they are traumatizing someone over something they have no understanding/experience in. There is no way this many people choose to be malicious in the world. It’s got to be a lack of awareness or am I just coping.”
For many fans, this tweet seemed to allude to a recent incident involving LE SSERAFIM member Sakura, who was seen in tears in a clip from the group’s documentary. Although eaJ did not specifically mention LE SSERAFIM or any particular artist, his message has resonated across fandoms, sparking broader discussions about compassion and self-awareness within online communities.
The timing of eaJ’s tweet has only fueled speculation, as it coincides with the leak of internal documents from HYBE. These documents reportedly reveal negative remarks made by HYBE employees towards various artists and have ignited debates over the intense scrutiny and internal pressures faced by K-pop idols.
