BTS Fans Rally Against HYBE: Demands for Accountability and Respect
Reported by Riya Garg
In a recent turn of events, the passionate fanbase of global sensation BTS, known as ARMY, has taken a vocal stance against their agency, HYBE. The controversy arose following clashes between HYBE and other entities, sparking ARMY’s frustration with what they perceive as mishandling and neglect.
Expressing their discontent, ARMY has resorted to symbolic gestures, including sending flower wreaths traditionally used in Korea to signify dissatisfaction. These gestures were directed towards HYBE’s headquarters, coinciding with the publication of full-page newspaper ads addressing the ongoing allegations surrounding BTS.
What exactly are BTS fans demanding? Their primary demand revolves around accountability and respect. ARMY insists that HYBE and Big Hit Music address baseless allegations and defamation against BTS in a responsible manner. They seek transparency through prompt announcements of legal actions taken and the progress made in addressing these issues.
Some messages delivered to HYBE’s Chairman Bang Si Hyuk explicitly implore him to cease using BTS as a shield to deflect the agency’s internal and external problems. This sentiment is echoed by fans who express concern over allegations ranging from concept plagiarism to chart manipulation, all while the members of BTS are fulfilling their military service obligations.
As speculation swirls about BTS’s grand comeback in 2025, the fervor within the fanbase highlights the importance of mutual respect and accountability between artists and their management. ARMY’s actions serve as a reminder of the power of fandom in advocating for the well-being and integrity of their beloved artists.
