Article talks about Jin fans spamming posts in military communities talking about how he's allergic to potatoes and garlic and so they're concerned about the food he will be served, among other concerns, while also treating the communities like personal fan letters, causing users to ask fans to calm down. 

1. [+220, -13] Enough. You are being a nuisance to the other families who also have children serving in the army.

2. [+211, -12] I don't know much about BTS Jin but I know enough to feel that he's a good person and it seems like his fans are tainting that image for him. Please just stay quiet and stop putting him in this awkward situation.

3. [+168, -6] The more his fans act like this, the more it gets awkward for Jin... can you please think before you act ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

4. [+18, -3] Fans are straight up acting as his antis by behaving like this, tsk tsk so short-sighted... you do realize that you're only making it harder for your oppa? ㅡ.ㅡ You should know that it's not good for him to stand out in a group community

5. [+18, -4] That fandom is being really thoughtless

6. [+14, -1] Do these fans even know what their own parents' favorite foods are??

7. [+13, -1] Don't hate on him. He chose to enlist in the winter so that he could perform at the free Busan expo concert. And as for you fans, please think about your oppa before having like this.

8. [+12, -0] Honestly, the army isn't even bad anymore and shouldn't be causing all this concern at all... Even while in training, you're able to stay in contact with your parents and get short times to be on your cellphone as well. Back when I was serving, we barely got a minute for calls... and most soldiers had to pick between calling their parents or their girlfriends if they had one back home.

9. [+9, -0] I don't think even the parents of elementary school kids overreach like this

10. [+8, -0] Crazy. Wake up to reality. These idols would never consider you for a second in their lives. Spend this energy and love on your own brothers and sisters. Idiots.

11. [+8, -0] Stop worrying about some celebrity in the army and worry about your own families instead

12. [+7, -1] If they're so worried for him, why don't they enlist and look out for him in there too?
