A pop-up store selling merch of K-pop superstars BTS in Seoul has drawn members of the band’s Army fandom from around the world, despite them being away doing their military service.
BTS supporters recently delivered condolence wreaths to the HYBE Corporation headquarters, the entertainment powerhouse responsible for BTS. This surprising act follows a heated dispute between the company and ARMY, the fanbase of BTS, triggered by a contentious incident that ignited fan outrage.
As a Sergeant, j-hope will take on increased responsibilities and leadership roles within his unit. His promotion is not only a personal achievement but also a source of pride for BTS and their fanbase, known as ARMY.
Fans have raised concerns that the clash in release dates for NewJeans s How Sweet and the second solo album by BTS member RM, Right Place, Wrong Person could be a ploy to take attention away from the South Korean girl band, amid the very public row between HYBE and ADOR.
