Clitch-hunt

A witch-hunt created in the media, both mainstream and social, for clicks.

Seungri is the victim of a media clitch-hunt.

Johnny Depp's frenzied clitch-hunt resulted in the loss of important franchise roles.

Purpletrator

A member of the BTS fanclub who bullies people for criticising the group even a little. Derives from the group's internal association with purple hearts and the colour purple.

Purpletrators bullied this poor girl off social media because she said she wanted a break from fandom.

Nyenyenye

Used to reply to a troll in a digital argument when they are arguing for the sake of argument to demean and destroy a person or a cause with no intention of continuing useful dialogue or debate.

As you have no intention of reading the primary source I provided, and would like to continue to spread misinformation, here's what I have to say to you: nyenyenye!

Purpled

Someone or something unusually influenced by the Korean pop group BTS and its home company, BigHit Entertainment. Usually applies to media outlets or journalists who write an inordinate number of largely positive stories about BTS for the clicks.

Derives from the purple heart icons used to portray the love between the group and its fans.

Koreaboo is fully purpled. A quarter of its stories on a given day are puff pieces about BTS.
