The young national writer Lily Del Pilar used her social networks to denounce the harassment and harassment of which she is being a victim by some BTS fans.
The author recently published her book Still With You, based on a fanfiction she wrote about the South Korean boyband on the writing platform Wattpad.
However, some followers of the group began to accuse Lily of, supposedly, taking advantage of BTS’s fame in order to sell her book. They even started a campaign to send emails to Big Hit (BTS’s agency) and thus ask them to sue the author.
Specifically, they target the writer for calling her work Still With You, the same name as one of the songs by Jungkook, a member of BTS.
In addition to ensuring that she romanticizes certain topics that should not be romanticized, they argue that she seeks to profit from the members of the group.
As an example, they criticize that the protagonists are called Jong Sungguk and Moon Daehyun due to the similarity that their names have with Jungkook and Taehyung, members of BTS.
“Please help me,” the young writer began by pointing to her networks. “I have been harassed for weeks by a group of people who day by day began to be massive.
But it all exploded a few days ago when a person on Twitter made a form to send emails to the boys’ company, since they did not like that I had called my book Still with you, “she continued.
“That is, I could not title Still with you as Still with you because the title belonged to the song, therefore it was only the song’s name,” she added.
In her defense, Del Pilar indicated that although she took the name of Jungkook’s song, the book is not related to the lyrics of the song.
Meanwhile, he specified that the book has the title of a Jungkook song because it was inspired by the members of BTS to write the story, “in the same way that the boys were inspired by the novel Damian and Mapa del Alma to create the series. Wings and Map of the soul ”.
Lily points out that she has received multiple hateful messages through her social media, forcing her to filter her comments so they stop appearing at the beginning of her. “I couldn’t even go watch videos on TikTok to distract myself, because it was full of hateful comments,” she wrote.
“Let’s not forget when in April a group of people organized to report me 85 times until they managed to erase the history of Wattpad,” she continued.
“It is not something from now, nor is it something from a few weeks ago. It’s something from months ago.
Only now it ended up exploding in a massive way ”, she pointed out.
