Quote from Tatiana1820

i think bang and his hybe minion are probably in control of these fandom centers. to me, it tells me that there is probably an ambiguous relationship between bang and JK. (obviously it's pretty hostile between v and bang too)

but this bang vs jk dynamics are a bit more complex. it's a mix of favoritism but also jalousy. bang doesn't want jk to get 'too' big, maybe even bigger than bts and again threaten HIS supremacy. and then maybe to leave? or just not depend on him... or not even, to just overshadow the pseudo 'real bts mastermind main character' that bang probably thinks he is.

jk is quite handsome, talented and popular, so i wouldn't be surprised if bang is half seething with jaleasy with him, maybe even wishing HE was JK. Younger, more famous, more handsome, more talented. Getting the girls he want without having to pay them ... (bruh that one's nasty but so f*cking real tho...)

it's like Jk is a bang persona or smth, but bang can NEVER be JK. JK is his own person and i think he hates that!

so he likes to use other members to limit jk growth within bts and also hybe. but he also f*cking LOVES using JK to step on everyone else in the industry. Duh. Hence the peculiar vicious dynamics.

I truly wonder what will JK decide... i think he's gonna stay but im not completely sure... who know's what's going on behind the doors?

PS: it's all just a theory of course, but im quite good at reading these kind of dynamics; i guessed everything right about bang and mhj dynamics before this war even started this year; all back to when he directly put JK against rookie NJs during get up era;

It's quite obvious there are some fanbases that are directly linked with the company and staffs, proof of that is Jimin stans knew about Jungkook and Jimin military buddy system way before there was any news about that, same as Jungkook working in the military kitchen, which he confirmed weeks later. They also knew about Jimin releasing a 2nd. album after enlisting (everyone suspected it, but they had the exact release date), so they were sorting out all kind of resources months before.

Jungkook has always said that he is not the typical idol and that he is really difficult to handle, he doesn't like when people tell him how to act, think or react to something, so I'm pretty sure, that's something the company doesn't like. For example, the Weverse lives that he made last year where clearly not something that pleased the company too much, but he still went ahead with them; he closed his IG with the number of followers that he had without giving a second thought; even in his last solo album showcase in Korea, RM asked JK why he didn't invite Bang PD to the event.

It was unbelievable for me that the company was releasing reports about him having the less potential between the members, when he is one of the most popular and talented ones; so, it will not surprise me if they were feeding him with that mentality to try to control him. Last year Bang PD wasn't the one that pushed him to start his solo career, it was because Scooter who saw his potential, and after Jungkook started noticing how good results Seven had, he started gaining confidence which led him to want to release his solo album.

Some members could be more attached to the company, but since the first contract renewal discussions, the members talked about JK and Taehyung not being sure about renewing and being one of the last ones to agree to continue.

JK is really a free soul, so you can tell his decision to continue with the company all this year is strongly linked to his love and commitment with BTS, ARMY and his love for music, but you never know what could happen after his military service and the preexistent agreements they made as a group. I wish for the best for everyone, but I really hope they and specifically JK starts thinking more on himself and what he wants as an individual. The fandom behavior is becoming really toxic and it's time for the fans to be aware about BTS members being adults and not entertainment puppets, and to know that everyone at some point will take a different path (even when they continue working in group stuff sometimes), and not all of them will have the same success.

ARMYs love to deny it, but the biggest fanbases are all Jimin solo stans, and the only work for him, with occasional /minimal focus on rap line. The hate for Jungkook is nothing new, even before he started as a solo, the animosity towards him has been notorious, you don't have to be a solo to see it. And with his success, the hate and defamation campaigns has exceeded all limits.

Just yesterday Jimin stans were posting proofs on DC Gallery about voting for another artist, justo so that Jungkook couldn't win, even when there was no other BTS member nominated. With the result today, they are bitter because all they did to prevent him for wining didn't work.

I cannot say that all ARMYs hate him, but the fanbases that control the fandom, have been trying to diminish his popularity through the years; don't know if they are afraid of him going solo or just want for other member to be the successful one. Last year when we had to vote in awards, they told everyone not to vote for Jungkook because it was the opportunity for other member to win and that we could vote for him this year (For example, last year he has wining in a voting and when big fanbases saw that, they made everyone vote for Namjoon and he ended up losing it), and again this year they decided that he was too successful already so fans should vote for other members. Guess it will never be his year, because other members have the priority in ARMYs minds.

1. That's one more reason for the Bangtan members to leave. The Bang-fans know. The fact that this woman is hear already means that it's over for this company

2. Isnt' she close with Jimin? I wish for the other Bangtan members to leave HYBEㅠㅠ

3. I hope that all the Bangtan members leave HYBE and sue Bangtan Gallery

4. It's that person who was called "Jimin's guardian angel" and they are making her the CEO... This isn't funny. Can a person’s nature really change?

5. Is this the woman? The one they called Jimin's guardian angel!


Jimin must be happy. She's been a founding member and held high-ranking positions, but now she's even the CEO!! Let's make sure your bias and the other members leave HYBE too!

"This person was one of the two protectors who protected Jimin at that time"

6. Please let go of my bias. Let's cut ties with HYBE!

7. I'm jealous of Jimin

8. It's because people kept saying that HYBE was full of ahjussis that they are doing this

9. There are so many talks because he was awarded at MAMA already and now the company doesn't even care about others' opinions anymore. Their fine tuning and adjustment will become even more severe. Please just leave HYBE

10. Why are people calling Jimin "pitiful" here?

Congrats, truly deserved, such a king

Organic king

Well deserved, Jungkook works so hard and is so talented, he really earned his success

Jungkook is truly amazing. I hope his single debut is a total success too.

Jungkook is a King, I really hope HYBE handles his debut in the way he deserves

I love his style for this event, he looks so handsome

This is a more accurate and complete trans of what he said:

Deserved, congratulations !!!

Cpngrats, I'm so proud of him

The event is free, people just get tickets because of the pandemy for a better organization.

The only person talking about a PR firm is OP, That is known for distorting things and she also made a lot of shaddy tweets against JK on many occasions, so I wouldn't trust on her words.

Let's not make a big deal of everything, it gets annoying and in many cases hypocrite coming from some ARMYs that hype everything that is made for hyung line, but always have a say on maknae line events. If we're going to be picky, let's make sure it's with all of them, I remember how an event for Hobi was trending worldwide when the company was just using ARMYs to promote the brand.
