Korea-based New Zealander Australian comedian Sam Hammington shrugged his shoulders to a message that was sent to him by one fan of K-pop boy group BTS.

In the message, the fan wrote, "Hi, I'm a fan of your family as well as BTS. I was really happy to find out that your family was also a fan of BTS." 

He/she continued, "I've decided to message you after seeing some posts on your Twitter. There are lots of ARMY on Twitter, but there are also lots of anti-fans and mean people on it." 

He/she resumed, "So, I actually think it would be better for you to stop using Twitter if you can, but if you must, just ignore those people. I hope your family only see good things." 

He/she went on, "I'm a bit cautious to say all this, but I'm just worried. I believe there are many people out there who will feel uncomfortable when you mention BTS. Please keep this in mind."

Then, the fan apologized, "I'm sorry if my message made you feel uncomfortable." 

He/she added, "I know you are a great parent, but your children are very much loved, and I felt like it's never bad to be careful. I really love the boys. I'll always be rooting for your family!" 

Along with the screenshots, Sam Hammington wrote, "I'm not sure how I should take messages like these."
