● What happened to that girl after that? Has she stopped what she was doing?
There have been updates saying that the mother of the girl who had been performing the black magic thanked the ARMY for reaching out to her and warned her against her daughter's deeds.
● Did this girl apologize?
In fact, the mother punished her daughter and took her phone from her after the girl apologized to everyone and said that she was only joking stating that they were just scented candles and that she did not know anything about magic.
● But why did she do that from the beginning?
There has been no confirmation as to why the black magic is being performed, but there was buzz online stating that the girl doesn't want Jungkook to date, anyone. Or maybe, she just wanted to get the member's attention, especially since she was tagging BTS on all her videos
