The young rapper had been praised for his rapping on the show. However, past messages have surfaced and alarmed viewers. Fellow students from school are claiming he's a thug and a bully, and alleged messages seem to confirm.

An alleged Facebook chat reads:
Jang Yong Joon: I threw away the progress report *curse*
Friend: Report cards are coming soon anyway...
J: F*ck, seriously
J: My mom b*tched loudly on purpose so my dad would hear.
F: Is she yelling at you for your grades?
J: She's b*tching like crazy.
J: F*ck, she doesn't say anything about me smoking, f*cl
F: Kekekekeke have strength.
J: *Friend name*
J: Can't you just come beat her up?
F: What?
J: My mom.
J: Come beat her up.
F: Get lost kekekeke.
More problems have been found on his twitter @yjyjyj0530 (now deleted). Viewers found a reply of him responding to a 16 year old who was prostituting herself on Twitter for 50,000 KRW (approximately 44 USD), responding that he would take her.
However, someone claiming to be Jang Yong Joon's friend from the same crew claimed that the exchange happened only because Jang Yong Joon was going with the flow of his friends. His friends had responded to the tweets in similar ways while, and Jang Yong Joon had done the same while joking with his friends. His friend claimed he was going through hard times, and this was making it worse, and asked the original poster to take the post down.
What do you think about the situation?

You guys are funny for thinking he was serious about the "beat my mum up" text. Y'all are so simple minded and probably believe anything in an article, no offence, of course!

People overreacting again lmao, so disgusting to see all these moral fagg everywhere talking like they didn't do anything wrong in their entire life. It's just a kid saying to his friends to beat up someone to shut his mouth as a joke, to sho how annoyed he was, nothing serious it's obvious. Anyways kpop fans are so hypocrit

for me I think the main problem come from his parent though... kid actions always reflect from the way parent act towards them. I hope that his family not too harsh on him and try to understand each other. He just a teenager that want to follow his dream but not a child that his parent want him to be. Im kind a jealous that even his parent doesn't supported but he still fighting for himself.

Lmao at thepeople going "kids will be kids" and "he's just going trough his teenage phase". You think these are normal things ??? What do you take us teenagers to be? I'm low key offended. It is possible to get through puberty and be a decent human being throughout it.

I bet they chose the most incriminating part of the messages and if we read the rest, we would see that he was actually joking. The conversation obviously continued from that point on- that's an awkward spot to end a conversation after all. If he had said something like please ill pay you or im begging you to beat up my mom, that would have appeared in this list too
