Charlie Puth took to Twitter on Sunday (July 5) to make an impassioned plea to BTS fans to back off what he calls a "dangerous, toxic internet screaming match between 'fandoms'."

The singer-songwriter was responding to fans of the BTS Army, as the K-pop group's legions of followers are known, who seemingly spammed several of his TikTok posts with comments teasing the singer. "Remember when you used Jungkook for clout?," wrote one, referencing the 22-year-old BTS member. Other posts claimed Puth used BTS for "fame."
