Annoying, frustrating and it’s making me fuming mad! What a bully! And yes, they’re doing it while the boys are serving their country! If not for BTS, their country wouldn’t have survived the pandemic!!! Korean government and the citizens are really soooooooo ungrateful! 😡😡😡

Jose you really need to watch koop shock he is a reporter in Korea he is also been reporting on this situation and the government is not investigating BTS plz go watch that before u spread false information I know that is not what u intend to do BTW this reporter is also army

[@heathermiller9375]

I was just going to say exactly what you have done. Please Jose watch it it has been proven that nobody is investigating the claim. It's been made by an infamous person who has been proven guilty time and time again for lying. Let's hope Big Hit sues his arse.

I also saw a video explaining how the article is mistranslated and it does not say anything about the government taking any action. That it only says the petition was received.

@@pansita3I saw that too. The ministry has only confirmed that they received petition. They have not said or not confirmed that they will investigate. But one media outlet has written this, on the same day the petition was received.

Right. I don't get this. Do they not see the building built on BTS profits? How can you possibly think the charts are rigged. Get a grip on reality. If its that easy why aren't other KPOP groups doing it and making more money than they have. It's so stupid!

Exactly. There's sure something up and some dirty play going on. Just move people's focus on them with a closed case from back in 2017. Cause it'll be easier to grab the attention right! It's always the case. They always revert attention from a hot topic and mostly the main culprit with a dumb, baseless but eye grabbing case! And it's again, AGAIN the boys!!!

[@lee2mx]

her smear campaign definitely had help from viral marketing companies, kpop stans and likely other competitors. Kakao is notorious for pushing bad articles of their competitors. They did to LeSsera when they first debuted and i know they pissed when Hybe asked them to be investigated for insider trading and corruption over the SM buyout debacle. several of their high level ceos went to trial and was found guilty.

[@tinyvent1289]

I just want this to be cleared soon bc I dont want Jin coming home to this mess.

Hybe can only do so much and they have to follow the laws. As frustrating as it is, they can’t show all they know or they will give the opposition a gift. People need to try and be patient as far as HYBE at this time. Please watch “Asian Culture and Entertainment”. She is really thorough.

[@rebeccaavoca9143]

that's sadly because the negativity of majority of South Korean people are just like that. Online bullying are just so crazy where people can just write anything without any consequences. It's still fresh to our memory, that's what happened to the late "Parasite" actor who committed suicide. The police found no proof of him doing drugs but the non-stop backlashes that he received from K-netz were so unbearable, pushed him to his demise ~

[@Shivani-ef4xw]

Yea I mean BTS paved the way only not for kpop but whole South Korea it's hurtful how their government is treating them

[@Curiosity1791]

💜💜There's a saying that goes something like this,"Just throw it at the wall, and let's see what sticks". When people don't have anything honestly bad to say about someone they want to defame, they will just throw anything out there, to see what they can get people to believe. Because like you said, Jose, some people will believe and hold on to just allegations against someone, whether they are true or not, sometimes this tactic will work. These are usually people who want to believe the worst anyway. Honest people will wait for the truth, and not believe everything they hear. Long time fans already know the truth so won't fall for the rumors. In the end, the truth is the best defense! As frustrating as it is to keep hearing the same old allegations being repeated, we know BTS will be just fine. We just have to try to be patient.🙄😌 Thanks, Jose, for voicing our frustration, and cheering on the guys with us!🤝💜💜

Man, the boys all wanted material to write about, they have enough with all this drama to make a whole album. I want them to laugh in everyone’s face and tell them to F off.

[@leahwarburton]

Exactly. Plus, because the statute of limitations has passed, the Government would have to set aside the rule of law - probably requiring an act of Parliament - if they did consider investigating a matter that has already been decided.

HI Jose, I have been watching KPOP Shock and Asian Entertainment and Culture KZbin and both have said that as far as the allegations go. A petition has been filed that's it. The government hasn't come out and said that they are investigating. The department where the petition was filed have acknowledged that they have received the petition and that is it so far. KPOP Shock is trying to find out WHO filed the petition. All of the media articles in relation to this are all referencing the one Newspaper and you kind of have to read between the lines. Definitely antis out in full force. As frustrating as it is we just to have to wait and see how this plays out.

[@leahwarburton]

Thank you. I just left the same comment, essentially. And honestly, it may well have been an automated acknowledgement of receiving the petition, with standardized wording. After all, the Government would have to set aside the law to do anything - which would probably require going through a parliamentary process. So everyone can relax, take a breath, and focus on the actual issues. And support BTS, BigHit, and HYBE.

They are serving the country that they love and the country is treating them like this! My boys don’t deserve this!😭😭💜💜💜

[@nuhkyah23]

The one article is misleading and i believe the translation was off. The ministry did not say that they will order an investigation. Someone posted a petition on their website, they responded that they received the petition and would REVIEW it. That's it, nothing else was said. This is confirmed by report kim in Korea. Watch his videos, he does proper research from credible sources and is able to give us the proper translation of these articles.

[@leahwarburton]

Exactly. And it may well have been a standard response to all petitions received. They will REVIEW THE PETITION nothing more. All Asian Entertainment And Culture has gone into great detail about this. Reporter Kim from K-Pop Shock, and her, are well researched and accurate sources of information.

How is that even possible when we show up for them every..single..time? Like you said, online concerts,concerts in general, solo stuff, etc.🙄

[@nanad267]

Partly this is because of album sales- So many don’t understand the album . It is not in the old days when someone put a record in a sleeve And it was sold that way ! These albums are CDs , and each album/CD can be sold with different inclusions, including photographs. This is why “fans” in ALL KPOP Groups multiple copies of an album. They are collecting the photographs ! It’s no different than collecting anything else in this world, Pokémon, McDonald’s toys, baseball cards, pretty much anything that is put out there as a “collectible “! You must buy multiples in order to get the complete set ! That is all any K-pop fan is doing, including BTS Army !! We buy multiple albums to obtain the different photo cards. Yes, that increases sales - But if everyone in the K-pop genre has the same choice to do the same activity Then there is nothing wrong with it ! I think the confusion comes when people don’t realize How many fans there are of BTS !! It is just like going to a sports game, baseball, football, hockey - Sometimes the stadium is totally full at every single solitary game home and away Other teams -consistently have 10 people in the stands . BTS Army is huge in numbers ! If someone looked into that fact -they would see that it is not manipulation- There are just a ton of humans out there who are buying these albums . The same human who fill up the stands -crash servers-sell merchandise and tickets in a matter of seconds- This is not a figment of a imagination - Set up a committee to look into the facts- They are all TRUE !!!! A very simple test is when JK appeared in New York City - How many artists can draw over 200,000 humans to see him sing-in less than 30 minutes? Just one test of the facts !

It blows my mind that their own country who acknowledged their vast contribution to their GDP is making these accusations to benefit whoever even started this. Time and time again, they've proven so much and as someone who's been to a city where they hold concerts at, tourism just explodes. I'm sure they've witnessed that themselves. What else do they want? They're already in the military to better themselves and to shut people who are still up to now debating if they should've been exempted or not!! If anything, they are promoting the military inadvertently as well!! Can you at least for one moment try to support them for all the good they've done to the country???!!

[@victoriaarreola7133]

Ok, I’m not sure that’s all correct, I know the media in Korea is saying that but I saw Asian Entertainment and Culture who explained that they said they received it, but did not say they were going to investigate, that’s the media saying this bullshit.

[@sharonnelson3713]

As I understand it and the channel called Asian Culture and Entertainment explained that someone submitted a petition about the chart manipulation by BTS and the office that received the petition stamped it as received. This doesn’t mean the government will investigate but rather they have to review it as anyone can submit a petition for whatever the reasons. It apparently started with the Navers platform and 1 journalist article suggesting chart manipulation but those crazy kpoppies who hate BTS just ran with it creating chaos and turmoil. I hope HYBE will investigate and sue Navers and the journalist.

I am lucky enough to have been to several concerts and was surrounded by thousands of ‘bots’, very strange as they all looked like real people to me. Fan since 2018 and have also noticed ‘organic’ growth. I think this comes from jealousy and other organisations trying to capitalise on the situation while Hybe is going through difficulties because of the Min Hee Jin situation.

The Korean government only knowledges that they have received the petition. This doesn’t mean they will investigate. This allegation already past the time limit for investigation. Also, BTS/Hype had already been cleared of wrong doing.

It's all extremely fishy. It reminds me of that YG reporter that accused them of plagiarism of a French artist's work during their Map of the Soul Persona press conference, turns out the French artist knew nothing about these so called allegations he never made them the reporter did.

It’s actually a smart move. Puts all the rumors to rest for those that keep beating this door so loudly. There is no doubt the chase is on by BH for whomever got this going. It’s slander and defamation at the very least. Still, a smart move. Officials get squeezed and threatened by superiors, who are ganged up on by civilians, and this gotta do what they gotta do. I feel sorry for the humans that have to do this investigation, but am excited for them because when it comes out that it’s all a lie, they will be lauded as upstanding citizens. . It’s all so sad to watch how one awful person feeds others their poison and it spreads so quickly. Messy Messy M is cackling thinking she is winning. We all know go that’s gonna go for her 😉
