Update-Forchaser brand deleted instagram account and the necklace from the website

Engenes (enhypen's fandom) contacted the site through their kakao accounts, explained the situation and that's when the site apologized through those messages and proceeded to take down everything offensive

A fast reaction

I don't understand what the problem was in the first place? He just wore a necklace with that name on it while performing, he didn't do anything else to it. I get that some religious people have a problem with it because of their beliefs, but what can others do about it? It's just the display of a non offensive name, nobody in particular can own a name and stop others from using a name normally.

Good

wow they really use religion as aesthetic and then label it as ghetto hustle swag? About necklace with Allah writing in it, i try to look up what sheikhs and professors in my country say about it. In short, wearing it is okay but you have to be extremely respectful. Like for example for women they can't wear it while on period, only wear it in respectful time, conditions, and place. As a muslim i never think about wearing accesories with Allah or Quran writing on it, but after reading what the sheikhs and profs said i'm even more scared to wear it because i'm not sure i can be responsible for it.

yeah and also labeled hiphop on instagram

It's further proof that religious items and writings are used as aesthetic in the industry or that they don't care. It doesn't take that long to check what you put on the idols or yourself, especially when it's for commercial purposes. I'm not religious nor do I have any attachment to cultural items but I get the frustration felt towards the usage.

At the very least, if you want that international fame (and money), you should monitor your stages and styling

Look like the company took fast accountability so thats good.

It also explains how can the stylist pick that as an aesthetic. Except if I were a stylist and come across something like that I would try to find out what it means before I choose it.

that's a part of what bothers me like yeah there are lazy stylists but some search meaning into what they put on the idols and still end up getting offensive piece of cloth. And the companies too, they can put really small details into their concepts, styling, story and still not bother to monitor for the simplest things.

The problem was the necklace itself. If those who believe in that religion took offence on the necklace nobody else has the right to tell them how to feel. That includes me, you, the company and the brand. Who btw labelled the necklace as ghetto something. Trying to make it as a hip hop accessory.

Also as somebody who don’t have that religion I can’t tell how Muslims feel but from what I gathered from the reactions it’s not only a name for them.

I understand how labelling the necklace as ghetto can be a problem, but not the other things. People have every right to feel however they want, but that doesn't mean others have to listen to them everytime they have a problem with something. Nobody owns that name and it may mean something to some people but it doesn't mean it should have the same importance to others too.

People need to realize that is not a simple necklace, it’s considered sacred for Muslims because it has the name of God, “الله”‎ (Allah) engraved in it. Most Muslims are not enraged because Jake wore it, they are upset by the fact he wore it while he was performing, an act which is frowned upon in Islam. Even as Muslims, you can’t even enter bathroom while wearing accessories with God’s name on it in Islam, much less use it as an aesthetic. It’s considered highly disrespectful in the circumstance it was worn. Generally, Muslims don’t even wear necklaces or bracelets with God’s name on it in fear they might accidentally disrespect it unconsciously. “It's just the display of a non offensive name, nobody in particular can own a name and stop others from using a name normally.“ It’s not about owning or using the word, it’s about respect. If you are going to wear someone else’s religious or cultural accessories or attire, it is expected from you to have knowledge and enough decency to respect it, and if you don’t have the decency to respect it, don’t wear it.

(Of course none of what I said is meant towards Jake, I do not blame him.)
