The Jackson one still breaks my heart. He loves his family so much and he holds the so dearly, especially his mother. That fact that he felt comfortable enough with his roommates to tell them about such a personal thing like the bond he has with his mother, and their immediate thought was to take advantage of it and turn it into a “prank” is just down right wrong and hella disrespectful. I liked that in the actual episode where he got to see his mom, and they saw his actual reaction, that it showed the reaction of the roommates and you could genuinely tell that they were thinking something like “we fucked up” for playing the prank on Jackson. He’s even threatened a hater over them insulting his mother. They posing as a fan and waiting for him outside the JYP building with the rest of his fans and told him something along the lines of “I hope your mom/parents die” as he walked by. He told them, in English, “say that to my face again.” And had to be held back by his security. Don’t fuck around with Jackson about his family.

[@realistbird3415]

Actually, the venue of the one about haters is incorrect. It was not at JYP building. It was in China, the airport. Kris Wu's C-fans were pissed that Jackson's single was doing better than their idol's single and hence were that obsessed to wait for him at the airport just to say she wished he and his parents died in a car accident.

poor Jackson. We all know how much his parents mean to him and that was messed up to play with something like that. and the saesang one was just....ugh.

The sasaeng prank is ridiculous. She made him kiss her. Disgusting.

[@aubriannacarter3683]

This is sick. To make someone think that they've been kidnapped is sick. You shouldn't joke about that, but to go as far as to make them think their going to be killed, it's inhumane.

[@karmen2293]

this one wasn’t a prank but it was still messed up so i’m going to share it. in 2019 nct’s china unit (wayv) did a reality show that lead up to their first stage debut. they had to completely three tasks to get one piece of a microphone and then they would put it together in the end. in it they where also given a member to “protect and look after”. one part of the task to find a password to unlock a box with one piece in it. the room was filled head to toe with frogs. pictures of them, items that were frog themed, and REAL FROGS. one of the members, hendery, is absolutely terrified of them; to the point where he gets scared just by talking about them. he couldn’t even move away from the door and CLIMBED UP THE WALL TO GET AWAY. staff didn’t let him out until two other members of the group came to completely the task for him and he was shaking the entire time.

[@-kacchan]

i remember that, i felt so bad and angry at the staff that i had to skip the whole scene, lucas also looked really scared :((

[@daphnedaphn3]

Just like Hendery I am terrified of frogs, and man that was not cool. Imagining myself in that situation I would have a hard time forgiving the people who started it. Pranking people with ghosts is one thing, but Hendery is literally deathly afraid of frogs, like it's not a momentary scare they filled a whole room with it. Absolute madlads. Hendery didn't deserve that.

[@MiNa-zu9df]

He has a phobia of frogs doesn’t he. If I’m wrong I just heard it from someone else.

[@karmen2293]

[@yuu_rei]

YES! PLEASE LOUDER! I stan BTS and have been on army twt and social media for so long, there have been so many posts with this shows' moments and what not, but NO ONE talks about how in actuality it was just a fucked up show. I couldn't sit through it for even one episode! And the fact that the boys had to continue doing this after being "pranked" like that!? Yeah. No. And the way it just perpetrated the harmful stereotypes of black men. Then they used black women and made the boys flirt with them!? Some of the boys were minors too and to force them to flirt with black girls especially also sends a very wrong message across! All of it just screams disgusting to me.

I never saw Simon's prank but I did watch (at least I tried to watch) BTS' AHL but I was so furious at the kidnapping part that I couldn't enjoy even a second of the rest of the show (and Coolio bullying Taehyung didn't help) so I never finished it. Simon's kidnapping was even worse, I'm sure he was scared for his life, literally. I'm glad you decided to talk about this topic, it seems like too many people enjoy these without thinking about the idols' feelings.

I only wonder if those pranks aren't actually discussed beforehand. Since pranks have a long history of being fake but their whole essence is that the person who got pranked doesn't know. Like the prank on BTS reminded me on pranks that people in my country played on each other for entertainment in TV and it was emphazied how they didn't know and really thought they'd die and stuff like that but in reality it's all fake. I don't mean that every example might be fake but I am pretty sure that some are.

[@LiNa-fi1bq]

I actually hope so because then These poor people didnt have to feel too Bad.

[@sonder8310]

@@LiNa-fi1bq the more I think about it the more sure I am. Like that sasaeng prank? C'mon wouldn't you sue the TV-show if you were scared to death bc of them? That's an unnecessary risk they wouldn't take. Or with BTS I am pretty sure they knew they were getting kidnapped but probably not how exactly so they didn't have to act the surprise and discomfort. It's not even unusual for pranks to be completely staged but I don't want to falsely accuse anyone of this. But as I said it's almost impossible for such big pranks to not be at least a little discussed beforehand.

[@randomcandy8209]

Yeah thinking it about it now the camera work in the BTS one is a little too good to be a hidden camera in my opinion

[@RB-zw6ym]

I dunno. I believe it. Their reactions were too real to be fake. Jungkook especially was on the brink of tears. It's possible to set up the prank with just management, as well as staff/company. All without the artists knowledge. As for the cameras, they were mainly stationary, and planted in the room. As well as already in the car. Fear can easily make them overlook it if they were visible. But feel free to believe whatever. 💜

Why do these industries think that scaring the sh*t out of people is funny. Also the prank they pulled on Jackson with his mother was not funny. Do we really have to go to these people and tell them what a prank is because they acting like they have no idea. Tricking someone into believing their being kidnapped, going to die, disbanding, or even just giving them major false hope is so cruel. I hope they never have to deal with people like that again because they definiately don't deserve it.
