Recently, RBW announced ONEUS‘s new fanship via the group’s official social media.

The ONEUS 4TH OFFICIAL FANCLUB TOMOON was titled “Hang US.” It meant “Hang with us,” but due to the misunderstanding of English grammar, “with” was omitted.
Naturally, English-speaking fans were shocked by the implications of the phrase “Hang US,” as it’s associated with self-harm. The post was deleted shortly after netizens brought attention to the alarming phrase.
RBW bestie plz correct it to Hang With US

@RBW_OfficialTwt @official_ONEUS This is how it should look! Hang WITH us. You have international fans and you still can’t translate things correctly! It’s been how many years now! #RBWDOBETTER https://t.co/cbQXKUc4bo

It didn’t take RBW long before addressing the matter. The company released a statement via X (formerly Twitter), explaining that the poster would soon be edited and reuploaded.

Fans are grateful that RBW is handling the matter so quickly. Still, they hoped that the company would have hired fluent English speakers to proofread the poster beforehand.
