K-pop Idols' True Selves EXPOSED Through Hidden Camera Pranks

[@Engene_.2000]

The BTS kidnapping prank was traumatizing I feel bad for them poor them..

[@MariaEsteves-d1x]

I agree with you, i was and i'm still furious with the people who decided this prank, it was cruel, unsensitive of them to do such a horrible prank like that and to scare these boys this way. It gone too far in my opinion.

[@gabisek1111]

@@MariaEsteves-d1x i actually hate pranks as a whole thing... why would anyone even do it and find it funny? just a little shock can easily hurt someone

[@abigirlll]

The staff doing serious "pranks" like kidnapping and what not is not okay. Not only is that traumatizing, it also just fucks with the idols trust.

[@tofusuns896]

I just have to point out that in the Stray Kids one, I.N, their maknae, immediately turned off the camera when he saw what was happening (he knew the camera was filming him because they were fake filming for a different content, he turned off the camera but it didn’t turn off completely so the audio was still on), he was the youngest but he was the only one who thought to do that as he thought it was something serious.. very professional at such a young age back then! Also, Changbin didn’t believe the detective as he said he 100% knows JYPE won’t ever rig charts.. Talk about standing your ground and having faith in your company! Lee Know and Seungmin also didn’t fall for the prank, when their manager got arrested, they IMMEDIATELY knew it was a prank lmao, pretty sure they also believe completely that JYPE will never rig any charts

[@damilolafaribido3138]

I feel the others not turning off the camera is also a good thing Cos what if it was real and then they were accused of doing something or saying they didn’t say or do, that will serve as an evidence. Some fans are very quick to cancel an artist and no matter what they say to defend themselves some fans will still hate and be malicious toward them. But with something to back them up I think it a good thing too

[@ROXELL]

I.N. Was really trying to protect the company haha.

[@ILoveHyukaTooMuch]

The funniest thing is that once txt were going about to go live, they all sat and was about to be ready but i think one of them suddenly asked a question "do you like hard peaches ir soft peaches?". The staff accidentally turned on the live right at that moment and the members didnt even know that the live was on, the simple question turned into an arguing about hard peaches and soft peaches and moas were like "what is happening? is this a prank?" 💀😭

That was actully Seungmin who saw the camera while Lee Know and Bangchan quickly figured out it was a prank. Hyunjin was pranked and even wanted to call his mum

[@stay_x_t1ny]

I feel as though some of these pranks go a little too far. For example, the BTS one with the kidnapping would have left me absolutely traumatized, especially because they were in a foreign environment for the very first time.

[@kiramakishima7836]

I'm not entirely sure but I think the BTS kidnapping thing wasn't actually a prank. I remember that story from before and they were in a foreign country and were going to head back but were kidnapped by the president of the country. And when they got to the place they spoke about where they had to sit down in the hotel, the president came out and welcomed them to his country and said his daughter was a huge fan of theirs and he wanted her to meet them. But he didn't know if they had time so he decided to just take them to the place for a short visit. That's at least what I remember seeing before as this story was on YT before by another channel and it spoke of what I just wrote. So it wasn't actually a prank it was a real thing.

[@kiramakishima7836]

I think they were let go directly after they met the daughter afterward bc the president had only wanted them to meet his daughter before they left the country.

[@BangtanGirl-xe6db]

​@@kiramakishima7836So you mean BTS really got kidnapped that day?💀💀💀

[@kiramakishima7836]

@@DaisyMae16 Ah, maybe it was! I just remembered it was a kpop group that had a very similar story. Since I saw this story here I thought it was BTS. Didn't know BTS had the almost exactly the same story, that's a little weird.

[@Trzbne]

The kidnapping of BTS was a traumatic crime. But the SKZ one is a pure gold, and the hilarious things the detective said to them, I was laughing so hard!

[@echo.echo08]

The BTS elevator one made me have a lasting good impression of Jin. He was the only member who showed concern for the crying girl and asked what's wrong and tried to comfort her. Granted, she's pretty so maybe men would easily be interested in her affairs but most people would usually not want to get tangled in other people's apparent problems regardless of their attractiveness. Jin was so nice to show concern. Another idol who got pranked similarly and showed niceness is Yesung from Super Junior. Early in their careers, the members got pranked into what seems to be like a blind date with a fan (not entirely sure, it wasn't subbed and my Korean isnt perfect) and the fan/date was an obese girl. The other members tried to back out and ran away and were being rather mean with their reactions, but Yesung was the only one who treated her nicely. I think the PDs were disappointed with his reaction of being nice (maybe because it was normal/boring and wasn't funny like other members being scared or running away from a fat date) so they instructed the girl to act creepy, and when she did, of course Yesung tried to respectfully end the date early.

After the Taeil incident, I was curious to know more about what the industry’s and companies were actually hiding.

I mean even with these vids u still should take it with a grain of salt since they might actually know they’re being filmed

[@Viaivy1]

@@brennathecatlover4360 I know, cause the company might tell them, or they might spot the camera, but I just am a little more skeptical now days, on what the companies are filling in, and what the idols know or don’t know either, and if the companies are hiding sketchy things idols have done, which they know or don’t know about.

[@Muddpie3723]

The groups have enough trauma with fans. The one on one group member to group member could be funny, but the girl in the elevator, the girl with the supposed boyfriend - poor taste. The girls performing to no reaction - no cool at all. The detective stop - No. The group being kidnapped - oh Hell No. I can't imagine how any of them felt after that. A foreign country, at night and taken against their will. The non group member to group member is pretty damn sick and cruel.

I hate pranks that make people feel afraid, angry, sad, or betrayed. It feels like a terrible breach of trust, somehow. Why can't pranks just be surprising or funny and that be enough? Now, the members of BTS will always remember the feelings they had when being kidnapped and associate that when they came to America. Thanks for that...not!

In the last portion of the video with BTS, you called the participants of the prank "thugs" twice. Be careful, as your words could be misinterpreted to someone who isnt familiar with what took place.
