“Buying another album”… BTS Jin's 'Hug Society' participation qualifications criticized

  • Glad k-army threw a fit,

    very typical of hybe to find some way to make money of this moment between bts and army


    also can't wait to have jin (and eventually bts as a whole) back, excited to see them give certain people a reality check!

    🤡 Of course hybe is going to make Money 🤣🤣🤡 have you forgotten KPOP is a business not a charity the idols don't work for free they still have to make MONEY and so does their company albums music, music videos dancing singing song writers coaches, managers bodyguards etc plane flight and concert halls are not free they have to pay for all this shit and money doesn't grow on trees . So obviously they have to find a way to milk this. Does it suck? Yes but it's reality.


    Want them to have these " moments with army for free" convince them to drop their label and go unemployed see how long "free fanmeets" lasts

  • Hybe concedes to backlash on Jin's hug event conditions

    [+232, -63] Yeah, that crossed the line... if anything, artists should be paying back their fans for waiting through all these things with some coffee, why add more album costs on top of it..


    [+135, -11] So sick of K-Pop companies trying to squeeze every penny out of K-Pop fans. How many copies of the same album do they really expect people to buy?????


    [+118, -10] If this is a Jin event, only Jin albums should apply. Don't treat this as an opportunity to offload extras of the other member albums.


    [+110, -11] This is so gross. So whoever buys the most albums gets the chance to hug him ㅋㅋ I guess even someone of BTS's level isn't able to turn things like this down. Tsk tsk, fans are just ATMs.


    [+28, -4] So not even new albums but old albums ㅋㅋ this hug event totally feels like a scheme to offload extra albums they have laying around...


    [+16, -3] Hybe being Hybe ㅋ


    [+11, -2] All this just to hug him ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


    [+6, -1] This is why Hybe is criticized the way they are for seeing Armies as only ATMs. I doubt even Sukjin wants anything like this either!!!

    [+88, -4] So upsetting, Hybe better stop trying to tarnish Jin's image he worked so hard to build up!!!!!


    [+66, -2] So what fans were pissed about was that Hybe's condition for getting into the hug event was having to buy an album from any of the other members. It totally felt like they were using Jin as a chance to offload all the extra albums they had!!!!


    [+57, -4] Hybe needs to knock this off, their main consumers are young students...


    [+46, -2] Hybe's so blinded by greed that they only think of ways of using the members like this. If they would just open their eyes, they could see what fans truly want out of them.


    [+38, -2] Poor Jin probably came up with this hug event with pure intentions just for Hybe to taint the waters


    [+5, -0] This idea totally came from the dogs at Hybe. Jin oppa just wanted to throw an event to thank his fans but of course Hybe had to butt in and think of more ways to squeeze more money out of the fans at any opportunity. Pathetic...


    [+4, -0] Hybe is so bad at their job. At this point, I'm starting to think not one person on their management team has actual entertainment industry experience.


  • The amount of fans butthurt they have to spend money is hilarious 🤡🤡🤡 like these people live in fairytale land. Kpop first and foremost is a BUSINESS!! The idols and their agencies staff that aid them and their managers don't work for free they all have to get paid= they need MONEY! Renting the venue isnt free either lol so yes there's a cost. Trust me if it was told that kpop can't make any money period ever right now there would be no idols at all they would all have quit. Kpop is a business people don't get it twisted
