On November 11, 2018, Jin posted a picture of a handwritten letter denying dating rumors with Sonamoo's Nahyun and explaining the controversy of one of his cats: [3] his old cat was put up for adoption but ran away. [4] When found, his ear had been clipped, to show he was considered a stray and was recently sterilized, [5] implying mistreatment from Jin. His appearances on The Show were cancelled. [6] The same day, more controversies arose after Jin's private Instagram was hacked and its contents released, with claims of bullying other JBJ members, misogyny, and disrespect towards fans. Jin wrote an apology letter in response. [5]
