However, on social media platform X (Twitter), CARATs have noticed that the film has included a screening in Israel, prompting them to urge a mass boycott of the movie. Fans have raised awareness of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Furthermore, netizens have also suggested that HYBE cancel the film's screening in Israel, while also trending the hashtag "#HYBEDivestFromZionism," and calling out organizer Trafalgar Releasing with "#CANCELTRAFALGAR."

Israel is not a country. It's a terrorist region that invaded the place through genocide

they’re showing this in israel? how are you guys okay with literal genociders watching and enjoying seventeen’s content? this should be ur last fucking straw. seventeen themselves should stop this from being shown in israel. the main protagonists of this movie can’t do that? https://t.co/VjiOUjrHiG

Seventeen, you have the influence and the platform to raise awareness of the genocide that is happening in Gaza, Palestine. As the UNESCO ambassadors, you have a platform to use your voice and stand against genocide inflicted by Israel.#SpeakUpSVT#HYBEDivestFromZionism pic.twitter.com/sEuIBwxrgA

even though this isn't the final list, hybe has a history of already doing it before and we shouldn't let seventeen's name be associated with that hell.

carats PLEASE boycott this. be LOUD. this company allowed d-day to be aired in isntreal during a gen0cide, allowed those settlers to get comfort from yoongi's words, and i can't stand the thought of them doing the same with seventeen https://t.co/Dp5eqS20Rw

To take a stand against HYBE’s decision to screen the SEVENTEEN ‘FOLLOW’ AGAIN TO CINEMAS in israel, and HYBE’s contribution to artwashing and zionism as a whole, we as fans have chosen to #BoycottFollowAgain https://t.co/jhA66qgVjF
