In the last few weeks, the BTS fandom, ARMY, has been angry and upset over what many of them consider mistreatment and abandonment of Taehyung by HYBE. Read on to find out more details!
It all revolves around his new album "Layover" particularly the vinyl versions of the album and fans are not holding back. So what’s Going On?
1) Shipping Delays
Fans are upset that pre-orders for the "Layover" vinyls haven’t been shipped in Korea. Many have been asking on Twitter why there haven’t been any updates or promotional posts from BigHit about the album’s release. This lack of communication and silence feels unprofessional, especially for such a major label.
2) Stock Issues
Fans have noticed that "Layover" merchandise is constantly out of stock in different outlets. They’re frustrated that they have to keep tagging HYBE to restock, raising suspicions that the label might be intentionally understocking Taehyung's releases. It feels like a disservice to an artist who has proven he can sell out anything.
3) Support for Taehyung
There are some hashtags like #HYBESTOPSABOTAGINGTAEHYUNG trending right now as fans come together to urge Taehyung to receive the respect he deserves. They do not comprehend how a person with such potential and who would be appealing to any company’s advertisers can’t be advertised properly.
4) Company Reputation
Many fans are worried that HYBE’s handling of Taehyung could damage their reputation. They believe that neglecting their artists sends a bad message, not just to fans but to the entire industry.
5) Calls for Action
With all this frustration building up, fans are encouraging each other to come out and express themselves. They want to shine a light on what they see as systemic neglect and advocate for better treatment of Taehyung. Some even wonder how a company could sabotage one of its stars.
The outcry from ARMY shows just how much they care about Taehyung and his success. As the conversation continues, fans are left wondering how HYBE will respond to their concerns and if they’ll step up to give Taehyung the support he rightfully deserves. They’re not going to stay quiet until they see some changes or improvements.
