K-netizens react to a rapper faking his own death to promote upcoming album

AKP STAFF

Rapper Ch1tkey recently revealed that he had faked his own death

Earlier reports claimed that Ch1tkey had died after attempting a social media challenge, with even his girlfriend posting a tribute on Instagram. The news quickly spread, and an acquaintance confirmed the reports. 

However, netizens later discovered inconsistencies, noting Ch1tkey had been active online up until the reported date of his death, and there were no records of emergency services being involved.

A netizen revealed that Ch1tkey's supposed death was a publicity stunt to draw attention to his new album, and both he and his girlfriend were aware of the plan. Ch1tkey eventually broke his silence by greeting followers on social media and releasing a new track titled "Back," confirming the hoax.

Korean netizens commented:

"I've honestly never heard of Ch1tkey before. What an unknown nobody... Pulling a stunt like that for attention... tsk tsk."

"Who is this?"


"Who??"


"I've never heard of the death rumors, survival rumors, or even his name before..."


"Nugu."

"What in the..."

"Whatever he does from now on, people will only remember him as the low-class rapper who joked about his own death... If he wanted to live long while being criticized, then sure, I guess."

"Such an attention seeker."

"I don't even know who this is... "

"He's such a loser..."

"Who jokes about their own death..."

"That's not even funny."
