BTS member Jungkook / Xportsnews
A faction of BTS member Jungkook’s followers staged a protest truck demonstration in entrance of HYBE’s headquarters in Seoul on Wednesday, criticizing the singer over latest relationship hypothesis involving aespa member Winter.
Based on photographs and witness accounts shared on-line, the truck displayed messages accusing Jungkook of deceptive followers and damaging the group’s picture. The LED indicators included phrases akin to “Erase the couple tattoo or step again from BTS actions,” “Are you in your proper thoughts deceiving followers and harming the group?” and “ARMY waited for you throughout the navy, and that is what we get in return.”
The protest follows rising frustration amongst some followers after rumors unfold that Jungkook and Winter had been relationship. Posts on Korean on-line communities pointed to what customers claimed had been “matching clues,” together with dog-face tattoos with the identical design on every artist’s arm, comparable nail artwork on their ring fingers, overlapping equipment, Jungkook being noticed at an aespa live performance and Winter saying Jungkook’s actual title throughout a livestream.
Neither HYBE nor SM Leisure has issued concerning the rumors since they started circulating on Friday, resulting in additional hypothesis and fueling divisions throughout the fandom. Whereas many followers condemned the protest as intrusive and excessive, others mentioned the companies’ silence was contributing to pointless chaos.
