On July 6, BTOB’s Minhyuk posted two tweets asking people to stop invading his privacy, and refrain from spreading false rumors.

In the first tweet, he writes, “People who make events that didn’t even occur seem true. People who believe those things to be true. People who personally contact me like this. Please stop, really.”

The idol includes a screenshot of a Kakaotalk message from a random person, who isn’t listed in his contacts. That person says that a Japanese fan has been posting on Twitter that she’s been talking to Minhyuk, after getting his Line ID (a messaging application) from Eunkwang. The person then asks him, “Did you give her your Line account?,” and “Don’t you know this is becoming a big issue among Japanese fans?”

A few minutes later, he posted another tweet that says, “It’s not just me. Please don’t act this way to my members as well. I’m uploading this after contemplating about similar incidents for a long time.. If you treasure something, shouldn’t you be more careful and cherish it as something precious?

있지도 않은 일 사실인 것 처럼 만드시는 분들. 그걸 또 사실로 받아들이시는 분들. 이렇게 사적으로 연락하시는 분들.

그러지 말아주세요 정말 pic.twitter.com/ALBuHQYjpv — 이민혁 (@btob2mh) July 6, 2016

저 뿐만 아니에요. 저희 멤버들에게 그러지말아주세요. 비슷한 일들로 오랜 시간 고민하다가 올립니다.. 아끼면 아낄수록 더 조심스럽고 소중하게 품어야하지않을까요? — 이민혁 (@btob2mh) July 6, 2016
