The staff was found to be lying lmaoo[BANGTAN COIN INCIDENT- PANN]

I wasn't aware of that... I really hope Hybe straightens things out wih the employees, it's pretty obvious that they knew what they were doing.

They should have least have chosen a sandwich the guys would like, wtf

We were really happy that the BTS members ate our shop's food deliciously
seriously???
RM really said he really hate avocado

This is already bad enough, but the fact it was avocados is even worse. The most overrated fruit in the world. It is disgusting, who in the world thought avocados was a good match?

So basically cloutchasing by giving them stuff they dislike and captioning it bangtan coin with laughing symbols. Idk if its straight up disrespectful or plain stupidy. Like in what way did they think any part of this was gonna work in their favor?

Whoever gave them that should be fired on the spot! He was not only using them, but disrespected them by giving them food they don't like. I know K-ARMY won't let us down, and will give them hell. BTS coin, nah, not for you greedy creeps!!! Get your **** togheter BitHit, this is embarassing!

Yes avocados are worser than being taken advantage of 🙄

No that isn't the problem, the worst problem here is that they were forced to eat AVOCADOS of all fruits. If you are gonna force a famous boyband to eat something atleast make sure it isn't avocados.

I haven't watched the vlive so I don't really know how it was all presented, but by reading the news it's such a dumb idea... they dissed the food all the time so it's not even like people are going because the food is great? and the way the talk about the celebrity after it's just such a failed atempt of advertising for everybody involved lol

I'm most curious as to how this even came to be? Like, BTS doesn't go advertising unless it's a contract or their personal use, so how come this situation even happened. Kinda reminds me of that video where BP is having coffee/tea and jennie make the weirdest face having her drink (its funny lol) so maybe this a thing in idol world and I didn't know... like having treats/food without a contract so no obligation to promote it in a positive way, just to use it

Edit: I was watching and wtf? How come Namjoon didn't know if it was an ad or not lmao At least we know Namjin would be terrible influencers

Here's someone with taste!

Proud Avocado hater!

Tbh i don't know the situation, but if the accusations are true then this is so disrespectful towards them. They could have a sick stomach bc of this shit and like ??? Are they crazy??

If they didn't like the food the staff could go find another food for them. This is stressful and it needs to be investigated bc things like this are a BIG NO and the boys shouldn't be the experiment for shit food or food they don't like just bc people are greedy.

F everyone who made this situation happen and i wish the boys are better treated!

Bighit fire that mother fucker.

Giving them food they dislike by accident it’s fine, not a grave mistake but based on the circumstances of the incident it is clear that the purpose was only to promote the bakery. Went 1 hr away to buy food for BTS atleast buy something they like lol.

This was no accident, the staff just doesn't care! I'm sad and angry that Jin and RM had to eat that, but on the other hand, it's so funny how wrong it went for that staff and bakery, lmao they did everything wrong and now have millions of angry ARMYs to deal with

I feel like everyone is exaggerating, let’s be clear everyone who signs bts as endorsers see them as just Bangtan coins.. even IF they like them. Y’all don’t think BTS knows this.

They’re unprofessional for making that post in their offical brand page. Should of been just private text.

Edit: nvm I skipped the employee part, drag their ass. They should at least get them something they like.

Sometimes I feel like BTS trust their staffs too much and are too nice of people so they get taken advantages of so often. This is not the first time BH staffs acted problematic and not the last I fear.

ps; Not @ y'all slander towards avocado. I LOVE them so much. BTS don't hate me

Wow. I thought it'd be about some comedic situation, but it's actually a serious issue.. Honestly it's not really that much surprising that employees having some sort of deals with someone to promote stuff through BTS (the backside of fans digging in and searching like certified FBI agents legit any micro detail about BTS even if it's blurred), but how anyone in their right mind can openly put smth like "Bangtant coin kekeke" on their public acc when they're dealing with such fandom and actually want to sell smth to that fandom?... Also if u want to promote your buddy's stuff via idols at least try to get smth these idols like.. Tf was that even...

I usually dont comment on these kind of situations but this event is straight up MALICE. It's concerning and I'll tell you why.

1. They didn't ask BTS permission, instead they slyly used them. It's one thing to do something as a favor, but it's another to be tricked and used. That feeling is incredibly dirty.

2. It's easy to just buy something BTS would like, but they specifically buy something that both the members have explicitly said they dislike. If someone know I hate something yet still give it to me, I take that as an attack. In this case, this staff really want to screw BTS over by specifically give them something they hate to eat on broadcast.

3. They call BTS as "coins" on Instagram and mocked them. It show they want to dehumanize BTS down to a cashcow and then mock them.

This combination of action show that this event was stemmed from malice, hate, maybe even jealousy and envy. If this staff just want to promote their friend's bakery, there is a better, but they chose the worst way. It show they look down on BTS. Maybe they're envious that BTS is so famous and rich, so they take it out on them by treating them like this. Such a bunch of DB, and now they playing the victims. And they did all of this on broadcast too. The audacity!! It show that they see nothing wrong with treating people this way, so they got bold and do it on broadcast.

If bts was not famous, and just normal workers and this happened at the workplace, this is called bullying. I'm disgusted at the staff working with BTS. Not everyone like their job, but to have obvious hate toward the people you working for is so toxic. Quit and find another job. Don't bring that toxicity to work and attack people with it. This situation make me livid, not just because it happened to BTS, but it's straight up disgusting behavior to do to anyone.

Honestly Hybe needs to be stricter on who they employ.

It might've been a low level employee that they sent out to get food or like somebody who's cousin owned the shop. It's not always possible to vet for shady characters in the interview process so you might accidentally hire one or two. I've definitely seen that happen- someone seems perfectly normal and a great candidate but then they get the job and you're like, "wtf?! How are you such a nightmare?!"

Hopefully this person is reprimanded.

Geeezz

Messy

This.

staff making bts promote their acquaintances' brand without their permission (2nd time), choosing foods the boys have repeatedly said to dislike (staff know these things) & the brand being disrespectful af..

Hybe needs to step it up & hire more competent staff for their biggest act. This isn't it.

This is really odd to me. HYBE doesn't have any policy or regulation in place for their employees? I'm sorry, but this type of thing deserves to be fired. They are losing money and credibility from the free promotions.

If you want someone like BTS to promote your products, you better cough up that cash or at least ask for their permission instead of shadily sneaking the food into their Vlives like that.

Also, the least you could do is get them something they actually like. The fact this Hybe staff went of their way to get Namjoon and Jin food containing ingredients they BOTH hate shows you’re either a super new hire, dumb or straight up malicious.

Of course, BTS also do covert or placed ads like other celebrities. They also do things like naming certain products, wearing their clothes, eating or drinking their food. Like Kaws tweets or praising the airlines they fly because they sponsoring them. In this vlive, eating foods they don't like and even showing them towards the cameras gave the air of an advertisement. The problem here is that they are deliberately brought food they don't like, the owner openly sees them as money cows and they make fun of it among themselves. Even this video alone simply shows that BTS cannot control everything around them.

I actually never got the impression they did advertising for KAWS, but simply already liked the design/products and are now buddies and kaws send them things to promote idk how to word it better, but it's different from being actively paid to try something that you don't use. The thing is when they do ads is quite explicit, like when they made that HYBE coffee shop vlive, this in the beginning they said word for word that was not an ad so it got me confused.

Idols and companies don't share every deal they make with us. For example, we have no idea what happened in the Coca Cola commercial. Jungkook sang the song, it was used in a country and it was not promoted at all. It is very clear that many of the clothes they wear are promotional and they do not specifically mention this, but they do. If they're posting things like KAWS on the group's official Twitter account, you can be sure there's advertising behind it. Covered or placed advertising, that's what it means.

You know when BTS is promoting for you. They had fun with it during In The Soop with Chillsung Cider, Cold Brew and Samsung Fridges.

I live for seeing karmy mad at bighit and victimizing 30 years old men like their life depends on it 😭

Some people are really shameless. Using BTS to advertise a bakery without telling them and mocking them publicly after that ? They are shameless and dumb.
