Prosecutors indict Brazilian woman in her 30s for stalking BTS Jungkook by ringing his doorbell hundreds of times

It has been confirmed that prosecutors have indicted and detained a Brazilian woman in her 30s on charges of repeatedly visiting the residence of BTS Jungkook, ringing his doorbell hundreds of times, stalking him, and even trespassing into his home.

According to Herald Economy on the 3rd, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office indicted and detained the woman, identified as A, on February 27 for violating the Anti-Stalking Act and trespassing. She was also accused of attempted trespassing, but prosecutors dismissed that charge due to lack of evidence.

A is accused of stalking Jungkook by visiting his home 23 times between December 7 of last year to January 4 this year, ringing his doorbell hundreds of times, waiting near his home, and even leaving letters and other in his mailbox. Even after police issued an 'emergency restraining order' in late December last year, she failed to comply with that order by returning to his home again in early January.

Under current law, responses to stalking crimes move from emergency protective measures to emergency restraining order to court-ordered protective order. An 'emergency restraining order' allows police to ban a person from coming within 100 meters or contacting the victim.

A is also charged of trespassing on December 13 last year. She allegedly entered through a side gate of Jungkook's residence after a food delivery worker had left the door open.

The Yongsan Police arrested A on December 13 last year and investigated her. At the time, she claimed she 'just wanted to make her existence known and had no aggressive intention.' She was released the next day after questioning.

However, prosecutors determined that her actions continued. On December 28, a staff member spotted her in front of Jungkook's home and reported her to the police. The Yongsan Police then issued an emergency restraining order, but she still went back in January.

When her whereabouts became unknown, the police applied for an arrest warrant on January 28. On the 10th of last month, A was arrested. A detention warrant was later issued, and on the 13th of last month, she was taken into custody for investigation.

During investigation, A admitted the facts but denied criminal intention, saying that she 'acted out of love for Jungkook and had no intention of causing harm.' However, prosecutors concluded that her actions were clearly stalking and trespassing, leading her to be formally indicted on charges of violating the Anti-Stalking Act and trespassing.

The police initially forwarded the case with an additional charge of attempted trespassing after seeing her pressing the door lock keypad on a CCTV footage. However, prosecutors dismissed the charge, determining that the CCTV footage did not provide enough proof of a break-in attempt.

COMMENTS:

-Brazil?? Wow…

-She's over 30 years old. What on earth is she doing?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Seeing this makes me understand why he crashes out.

-He must be insanely stressed out. If you're really a fan, you should let him rest at his own home. That's not love.

-Since he's a global star, his Sasaengs have varied nationalitiesㅠ

-It must be really exhausting to be a celebrity. Even if you earn a lot of money, your basic daily is always at risk.

-Why come all the way to another country just to harass him...? He's supposed to be your favorite singer...

-She's literally harassing him. You can't call that a fan.

-Brazil????? She came from so far away. There are seriously so many crazy people.

-How is that a fan? Sasaengs are just criminals.

-I mean... Can't they just deport her?

-Whenever I see articles about Sasaengs, they're all foreigners. There are barely any Korean Sasaengs now.

-I wonder if she would get banned from entering South Korea after receiving punishment...

-Isn't there any security at where he lives?

Jungkook after talking about drinking, smoking, and cussing in live broadcast: "I'll live my way from now on" ... Fans express worry, begging him to 'please stop'

Jungkook drew concern from fans after sharing his honest feelings with rough language.

In the early morning of the 26th, Jungkook went on what he described as a 'drinking live stream' on Weverse with an acquaintance to communicate with ARMY.

Jungkook brought up the topic of smoking first, saying, "Why can't I talk about this? I'm 30," adding, "I used to smoke a lot. But I really made an effort and quit." He also expressed his complicated feelings by saying, "The company is going to make a fuss the moment I talk about this. This isn't something I've discussed with the company. I'm just saying this because I feel frustrated."

During the broadcast, Jungkook also used profanity and behaved roughly. He jokingly raised his middle finger toward his acquaintance and cussed playfully, saying, "I couldn't even flip my middle finger in front of ARMY." When his acquaintance made a mistake, he said, "You bastard," and used direct expressions like "Don't piss me off" while venting his feelings.

Jungkook also expressed his feelings, saying, "I'm human. I just want to be happy. Although that might not be possible," adding, "How many people in this world can really be honest? I wanted to be honest with ARMY. If it wasn't for the company, I'd want to tell you everything." He continued, "If I were someone who makes music alone, I think I would've just said it without caring."

Although he continued the broadcast freely, he occasionally showed that he was worried about his agency. He said, "This might become controversial. But this is who I am, what can I do?" adding, "Tomorrow, the members and the company will probably talk to me." He continued, "Will the company scold me a lot?" He also responded to fans who were worried about him and asked him to end the live stream, saying, "I wish you wouldn't tell me what to do."

After the live stream ended, he posted a selfie on Weverse, saying, "The album is really coming soon. Please wait just a little longer. When we come back, I will work really hard. I love you." He also left a comment saying, "I will life my life my way from now on, so please support me." When a fan told him to not regret the live stream, he responded, "Why would I regret that? I miss you!"

However, fans' reaction were strongly divided. Some fans expressed concern, saying, "Why do this right before the comeback?" "I'm worried this might negatively affect the other members," and "I'm worried that someday he will regret creating controversy like this." While other cautiously added, "Do whatever you want to do," and "Still, I hope he keeps a little bit of his 'idol' image."

On other hand, some fans showed support, saying, "Imagine how frustrating it must've been for him to act like that," "What's wrong with an adult smoking?" and "I support every side of Jungkook." Some also expressed affection, saying, "It hurts my heart to see him so frustrated," and "He loves his fans so much, I just hope he receives nothing but love."

BTS V: "I'm surprised that Min Heejin submitted our Kakao Talk messages without my consent ... I had no intention of taking sides"

V has his position regarding the Kakao Talk messages used as evidence in the legal battle between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin.

On the 20th, V stated through his account, "This was part of a private, daily conversation I shared with my acquaintance to show empathy. I have absolutely no intention of taking either side."

He continued, "However, I'm very taken aback that this conversation was submitted as evidence without my consent."

Previously, on the 12th, the Seoul Central District Court ruled on two lawsuits, including HYBE's lawsuit to confirm the termination of the shareholder agreement and Min Heejin's lawsuit to seek for payment for her shares. The court dismissed HYBE's claims and ruled that HYBE must pay approximately 25.5 billion KRW to Min Heejin.

It is reported that the court saw Min Heejin's allegations that ILLIT copied NewJeans as a fair opinion. During this process, Min Heejin's side submitted Kakao Talk messages she exchanged with V as an evidence, which the court accepted.

According to a news report on the 20th, V reportedly told Min Heejin in the message, "(People always talk about plagiarism, it never stops) Sigh... I know right. I also saw it and thought 'this looks similar...'" The court also noted that HYBE's Chairman Bang Sihyuk produced ILLIT's debut album.

After seeing these reports, V personally addressed on his personal social media, expressing how flustered he was that Min Heejin’s side submitted the messages as evidence without his permission.

While former ADOR CEO Min Heejin won the 26 billion KRW legal battle against HYBE, a Kakao Talk message from BTS' V is included in the court ruling, drawing attention.

On the 12th, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of Min Heejin in the lawsuit she filed against HYBE. The court recognized the exercise of her 'put option' and ordered HYBE to pay approximately 25.5 billion KRW.

According to the first trial verdict obtained by this paper on the 20th, the court judged that HYBE was the one who first spread the conflict to the public through media play. Also, the court determined that Min Heejin's suspicions of ILLIT copying NewJeans was an expression of opinion rather than defamation.

Notably, the court drew attention as they accepted the Kakao Talk message between V and Min Heejin as evidence. In the messages, V reportedly said, "(People always talk about plagiarism, it never stops) Sigh... I know right. I also saw it and thought 'this looks similar...'"

Previously, V had asked Min Heejin to be the head producer for his first solo album, Layover, released in 2023. At the time, Big Hit Music stated that at V's request, Min Heejin led the entire production, including music, choreography, design, and promotions.

Later, after Min Heejin's injunction against HYBE was dismissed in 2024, she appeared on the Youtube channel 'Kim Youngdae's School of Music,' where she shared, "V occasionally contacts me from the military," adding, " Since I've been going through this situation, he asked me if I was okay."

Meanwhile, HYBE filed an appeal on the 19th and is continuing to fight the court's decision.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed that she sent a letter to President Lee Jaemyung requesting additional shows for BTS' world tour concerts.

During a press conference on the 26th, President Sehinbaum said, "The world-famous K-pop group BTS are scheduled to perform in Mexico in May. However, I heard that many young people were unable to get tickets." She added, "About 150,000 tickets were sold in Mexico, but more than 1 million people wanted to go."

President Sheinbaum emphasized, "With 3 shows confirmed in Mexico City, I made a polite diplomatic request to the South Korean President to let BTS visit Mexico more often."

She added, "If additional shows are difficult, I hope that alternatives such as screening the concert on large screens could at least be permitted."

Meanwhile, BTS is set to hold a world tour with 79 shows across Asia, North America, Europe, South America, and Oceania. They will start their American tour on April 25-26 and 28 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, followed by concerts at GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City on May 7, 9, and 10.

Busan city takes special measures ahead of BTS concert after President Lee Jaemyung criticizes 'overcharging'

On the 17th, Busan City announced they would launch 'Overcharging QR Reporting System' to prevent harm to tourists during BTS' concerts scheduled for June 12 to 13. Domestic and international tourists can scan the QR code to report overcharging and the report will be forwarded through the Korea Tourism Organization to the relevant local governments and authorities. 

The city has distributed QR reporting stickers and posters on accommodations and posted informational banners on its official website. In addition, the city plans to form a joint inspection teams with district office and begin on-site inspections on accommodations that receive complaints starting next week. If overcharging or violation of reservation conditions are found, they will be reflected int he hotel's official ratings. 

The city also plans to hold a 'Tourism Readiness Inspection Meeting' with related agencies soon to discuss further measures against overcharging in accommodation rates. 

Once the venue is announced, the city will also provide guidance on areas with high concentrations of accommodations that have good public transport access in order to disperse the surge in booking demand. 

The city appears to be taking a more proactive stance following direct criticism and calls for strict action from President Lee Jaemyung on the pervious day. On the 16th, President Lee shared a report on X stating that accommodation prices skyrocketing up to 10 times the normal rate due to BTS' concert, saying "Malicious exploitation that destroys market order and causes major harm to everyone must be rooted out."

He further emphasized, "If overcharging is detected, measures must be taken so that the losses is far greater than the unfairly gained profit." Previously, President Lee had addressed this issue at a cabinet meeting in September, stating that overcharging undermines domestic tourism and instructed officials to 'move beyond administrative guidance and establish systems of fines and penalties.'

Busan Mayor Park Hyungjoon stated, "We will proactively block accommodations that overcharge through the QR reporting system and on-site inspections. We will mobilize all available administrative resources to support the success of BTS' concert."

1. [+2,352][-12] If local governments only start acting after the President calls them out, then they should just scrap local autonomy altogether.

2. [+2,27][-116] Does the Mayor of Busan seriously not see the problem here? Sigh...

3. [+1,945][-103] What exactly is Park Hyungjoon even doing?

BTS RM's honest thoughts on marriage and childbirth

 

와 시바 대통령님 명절에 명언 지리게하고가셧네 https://t.co/udukcDOMeA

Jinsu-ya, durig his live broadcast, RM said that marriage and childbirth are choices. He said that South Korea seems to put too much pressure on women to give birth. He told women to just live life however they want. I totally agree. Ladies, let's stop thinking marriage and childbirth are obligations. 

출산 보고 애국이라는 한국에서 여자들에게 쪼대로 사시라 외치는 알엠이 주는 감동 ㅁㅊ pic.twitter.com/RePjIZG2h2

— ㅇㄱ (@r23mw) October 5, 2025

There's this pressure about marriage, and it's a realistic concern. Especially for women. It feels like there's this constant pressure from society and the media for us to have children and other things. I just hope everyone gets to live life however they want. There's no right answer. 

I just think... If you can't handle being alone, will getting married actually make it better? Because once you're married, you might still want to be alone. People are complicated. So, someone who is comfortable with being alone might also be comfortable having companion, and vice versa. Therefore, getting married as a solution or a way to escape loneliness... I don't think that's right. 

As for children, I'm not sure about this either. For me, I already struggle with taking care of myself. Raising a new life, a child... It doesn't really go the way you plan. If I think about how much trouble I gave my parents when I was young, then imagine if I had a kid just like me? Ugh~~ How tough would that be? Of course, they could be lovable to. But again, there's no right answer. 

People who are married can only speak from the perspective of married people, and those who aren't married can only speak from the perspective of unmarried people. There are things we don't know about each other. Stories and cases from those around you should only be taken as their personal experiences. 

In South Korea, I think those of us born in the 90s are the first generation where marriage truly became an options. I believe everyone should live according to their own choices. 

I went a bit too deep into the topic of marriage, but well... That's just how it is. What else do we really have as content in life? Hobbies, travel... There's no right answer to any of it. 

However, I do think it's important to nurture both our bodies and minds. Exercise and reading are the things that genuinely bring good to people. I don't think there's anything that's 100% good for everyone, but if there is, it's reading and exercising. Because they don't lie. 

So, marriage doesn't make your loneliness go away 100%. I really don't think it does.

theqoo

-Whoa... Honestly, I never really liked him before, but this makes me like him. You can tell he's smart. He speaks in a different way.

-That's right. Reading and exercising are always a plus in life.

-I want to get married to someone smart like that.

-As expected from Namjoon💜

-Does he have no thoughts on writing a book? I’m genuinely curious about what he thinks and feels about life.

-As expected from my bias. He's the first Korean man I've deeply fallen for. A cool person down to the bone.

-He's so freaking smart.

-He should be the President.

-He's right. We live in an era where marriage is no longer mandatory.

-Fans might not like it, but I think he should go into politics.

-He's absolutely right. Marriage doesn't end loneliness. Sometimes, you'll feel even lonelier. Do you think having child will make you feel less lonely? Sometimes you'll feel even lonelier with child.

-... If you're telling me to live however I want.. I want to marry you, darling.

-Crazy... Give him a round of applause.

-Can he run in the next election?

'End of dating rumors' ... BTS Jimin: "I want to show a good side of myself... But living life well isn't easy"

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/109/0005404295

Jimin shared his honest feelings after rumors regarding his private life were finally settled.

On October 1, Jimin held a live broadcast on Weverse to communicate with fans. He provided and update on his efforts for a full-group comeback, saying "I don't have preparations yet, so I'm currently working hard on the album. I'm very grateful. I've also been running diligently and dieting."

He raised anticipation for the upcoming album, saying "I'm looking forward to it. I'm currently working hard on this album, I'm really curios about how you all will feel about it. I shouldn't give up too much spoilers, so I won't say much. I think it will be an album that we all treasure deeply."

Regarding his discharge from the military service, he added, "I missed you all so much. I'm so happy to be able to come back after a long time. Now that I've served in the military, there won't be long breaks like that anymore. I have to keep preparing so that the album comes out next year and I'm able to meet you all. I must continuously show you all a good side of myself. I'm curious how you all will react and feel when the album comes out in the future. I'm constantly waiting for the day we meet."

In particular, Jimin indirectly expressed his feelings about the recent controversy regarding his private life, saying "It feels so good to be back. I missed you more than anyone. A lot of things have happened, but I always want to show a good side to fans and people in general.. But living life well isn't easy. As I live, I realize that being a good adult and living a good life are not easy to do."

He added, "That's right. I just need to do well. I have to do well. Becoming an adult is not easy, I'm just imitating an adult. Anyway, I will continue to live well while showing a good side of myself, and try harder to show it. I wanted to talk about that after coming after a long time. Thank you so much for speaking kindly to me."

He concluded by saying, "It was nice meeting you all after such a longtime. I wll quickly prepare various things so that I can show them to you all. I love you all. Don't worry about my health. I hope you all stay happy and healthy. You don't have to worry about me. Thank you so much for today. Thank you for watching. See you in Korea."

Jimin previously was involved in dating rumors with 'Heart Signal 2' cast Song Daeun for several years. Recently, Song Daeun posted a video suggesting her private meeting with Jimin, reigniting their dating rumors. In order to respect the other party's privacy, Big Hit Music broke their silence and issued their first ever official statement regarding this matter.

Big Hit Music stated, "The artist did have a connection with the other part in the past. They had mutual interest, but that was years ago. They are not in a relationship now." They also added, "Please refrain from reckless speculation about their private life. We also sincerely ask you all to refrain from actions that could harm both the artist and the other individual mentioned."

theqoo

-What's wrong with his way of speaking? He's in his 30s and has finished his military service, yet he says being an adult is not easy?

-I'm flustered...

-His way of speaking is so freaking weird.

-Ugh... Please just stay quiet.

-I used to like him back then... But now I see what kind of person he is.

-Classic avoidant. His way of speaking is so weird, there's just no substance.

-I wish his ex-girlfriend happiness and success.

-Whoa... I've lost al my respect for him.

-If you're in you 30s and have finished your military service, you're basically fully an adult.

-What's with the photo, though?? Was it intentional?

-I'm not even a fan, but I think the hate comments are crossing the lines...

-Has he always been that avoidant?

-Legendary avoidant Hannam. I feel so... So... Sorry for the woman.

-Honestly, does he really deserve that much hate just because of this?

-I feel sorry for the woman. She's been dragged through this for years.

Comments on Song Daeun-related articles and Youtube videos

 

-Our Jimin-ie, let's improve your taste in women. Seriously, what is that?~ I know that you guys are at the age to be dating now~ But if you're going to date, please choose someone kind and decent. Please~

-What the hell is wrong with her?? He got involved with the wrong person.

-Jimin-ah, I may not have early as much money as you, but as a senior from your hometown, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, who has been happily married for 7 years.. Let me just say one thing. Now that you're past 30, don't just look at appearances. I hope you find a woman with a mature personality that you can spend your whole life with. I'm rooting for you.

Son! I'm an ARMY mom who has been watching over our Jimin since 2013. It truly breaks my heart that we're facing this major disaster right now, especially when we've been looking forward to the spring of 2026ㅠ

I was also not great at judgng people in my early 30s. But you're not living a regular life, you have the life of a BTS' member. Considering what lies ahead, I honestly think marriage should be put off for a few more years. Of course, whoever you choose is ultimately up to you, my precious son Jmin, but still I don't think now is the right time.

Realistically, 2026 is going to be such a crucial time for BTS as you start anew. So, I hope you'll be more cautious and considerate in everything you do, so that it will not tarnish this precious time.

As you live and gain more experiences, your eye for people and judgment will naturally improve too. So, don't let this situation discourage and hurt you. With your good character, I hope you'll discuss this matter with your company and respond wisely. Whatever happens, life is all about learning and growing until the day we die. So don't be discouraged, hurt, worried, or disappointed. Handle this wisely and become our strong Jimin once again. I'm cheering on you with all my heart. Cheer up! Okay?

...🤷‍♀️

theqoo

-So, most of his fans are middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s?

-Ugh, this is really disgusting.

-Ew... I wanna throw up.

-Even within ARMYs, Jimin's fans are generally the oldest and most aggressive ones. I'm saying this from experience. They treat women like they're mentally unstable or low-class. They seem to not realize that they're embarrassng themselves.

-They really sound like mothers talking to their own sons. They must be in their 50s or 60s.

-What even is this??

-Dating is between two people. Why are they acting like this?

-This makes me want to unstan the groupㅠㅠ

-What the hell?ㅋㅋㅋ He finished his miltary service and he's not even that young anymore. Of course he can date. It's not like he's a teenager or in his early 20s. What is wrong with them?

-This seriously gives off mother-in-law vibesㅋㅋㅋ

-Wowㅋㅋ ARMY Moms, can you stop slandering someone else's precious daughter then?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so freaking hilariousㅠ

-I'm a fan too but... What the hell is this??

-Just raise your own children properly...

-Even Jimin's real mom isn't acting like this...

"Song Daeun-BTS Jimin dating rumors are false, did a live stream with real boyfriend" ... 3 key pieces of evidence revealed

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/076/0004317113

Claims have surfaced denying the dating rumors between BTS' member, Jimin, and 'Heart Signal 2' cast member, Song Daeun.

On the 28th, a post on a social media believed to belong to an international fan stated, "Song Daeun did a 3 hour live broadcast on SNS yesterday (27th)." The video shows Song Daeun having a cheerful conversation with a man, using heartr emojis. Her hairstyle in the video looks similar to a recent selfie she posted on her personal account, suggesting that the video was filmed recently.

Other netizens pointed out, "Song Daeun one claimed that she was being stalked for dating an idol, and after that she did a live broadcast while drunk at 4 AM," and "Jimin moved to Nine One Hannam in 2021. However, Song Daeun has posted several photos that suggest she was dating someone who lived there as early as 2019."

In response to these claims, both Song Daeun and Jimin's sides have remained silent.

Song Daeun recently caused a stir by posting a video on her account that seemed to be a home date with Jimin. The video showed Jimin getting out of an elevator saying, "Oh, you surprised me. Did you know I was coming? I didn't tell you on purpose." The elevator interior clearly shows the name "Nine One Hannam," the apartment where Jimin is known to live in, drawing attention.

The speculation intensified because Song Daeun had been subtly dropping hints about their relationship since the first dating rumors surfaced in June 2022, such as posting photos on her account that showed parts of a man's body believed to be Jimin's and an earphone case with the initials 'Daeun' and 'Jimin.'

In response to this, Song Daeun publicly exposed malicious comments she received from netizens and took legal action in May last year. Then in June, she posted a warning saying, "Just because the idol you like loves me, doesn't mean I deserve hate. You don't know what I might expose if I really get angry."

Amid these new claims that the dating rumors were false and that she's actually seeing someone else, all eyes are on whether Song Daeun and Jimin's sides will finally speak up.

Meanwhile, Jimin has been in the U.S. since July, reportedly working on BTS’s comeback album.

-Ugh... I really feel bad for that woman.

-I seriously hope HYBE flops.

-This is so cruel. Just go public with the relationship. What did the woman do wrong to deserve this?

-I mean... The video clearly showed Jimin's face and voice. How can they deny it?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Park Jimin is such a coward. He's making his girlfriend look stupid and hiding behind his company. What is he doing?

-I'm worried about her... Why is she getting attacked like this?

-This is disgusting... Protect her...

-Why would they even write an article about something like this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Can't Jimin just release a statement? Can't he even show that much consideration?

-Even after all this... Are you still going to say that Jimin is a victim of HYBE?

-I wonder if she's in a good mental state... This is way too far.

-Jimin needs to release a statement quickly... There are a lot of weird articles spreading right now.

-The whole situation is getting bigger and bigger.

-She's suffering because she got involved with the wrong guy..

-I’m genuinely worried she might do something bad to herself...

"You have nothing..." BIGBANG's Taeyang faces terrorizing comments from BTS fans, why?

In a recent CNN New Year interview, Taeyang was asked, "You and BIGBANG played a pioneering role in making K-pop a global phenomenon. How do you feel now that K-pop has taken the world by storm?" He replied, "I'm glad that many juniors following us were able to open the door to the global market and perform on global stages through the path we paved. Rather than feeling like we've given them this opportunity, I feel our efforts have contributed in it and I feel good to know that."

However, after the interview was published, some BTS fans criticized Taeyang, leaving comments such as "BTS paved the way," "How can you say you opened the door when you had nothing?" and "BTS pioneered it."

-There's literally no group that they don't terrorize.

-ARMYs are so shameless...

-If it wasn't for BIGBANG, there wouldn't be BTS. They copied them so much...

-...;;ㅋㅋㅋ Someone stop them..

-ARMYs again...

-They're doing the "BTS paved the way" bullshit again?

-Ah... I'm getting BTSD.

-Why are they doing this to Taeyang?ㅠ

-My group went through this too. I-roaches are really something... Smh.

-You can't take BIGBANG's influence out of K-pop.

-They said Taeyang has nothing?? In what universe??

-It looks like they have no idea who BIGBANG is... Anyway, that fandom is delusional.

-These idiots... At this point, they're just doing it for fun now.

-It's true that BIGBANG opened the door for K-pop.

-ARMYs are so f*cking annoying.

'Award thief' currently becomes #1 searched key-word in Weibo in real-time. [2024 MAMA] Daesang controversy - Enhypen > Jimin

 #1 award thief - Jimin (The winner of Fan's Choice Award)

In both rounds of the Fan Choice public voting, Enhypen ranked 1st.

Most people predicted Enhypen would win the Fan's Choice Award

But in the category that's 100% based on fan voting, only the Visa Fans' Choice voting had its ranking hidden and Jimin won 1st place, which caused a stir among Enhypen's international fandom.

+) Why was the voting ranking kept hidden for this year's Visa Fans' Coice Award when the rankings were usually made public in previous years?

Jimin dropped from 1st to 6th due to invalid votes in the first round.

Enhypen's international fandom, who worked hard voting for a month, is now raising concerns about vote manipulation.

Does it make sense that the Visa Fans' Choice Award's rankings are kept hidden when the award itself is based on fan votes 100%?

Mnet’s MAMA production team should fairly disclose the voting rate and ranking for the Visa Fans' Choice Award.

+) Fans' Choice 1st round public voting result: ENHYPEN 1st place.

Fans' Choice 2nd round public voting: ENHYPEN ranked 1st for two weeks straight.

“Why tf that fandom crying at qrt” bcz engenes won 90% voting poles, we won with the hashtags, Enhypen won the 1st round, we maintain the 1st position for 15days straight, and y'all want us to believe that this is not rigged?! reveal the result of 2nd round right now @MnetMAMA https://t.co/uFrmENwgoG pic.twitter.com/o8O9IUejiw

+)

Fans are aware that the voting for the Fan Choice and the Visa Fan Choice of the Year Awards are separate, so Enhypen's fans voted in both categories.

Enhypen's voting accounts kept emphasizing that there were two separate votes.

When voting for Fan Choice, the Visa voting would automatically appear, so why didn’t people vote for both?

But it’s strange that while Enhypen was ranked 1st in the public voting (with disclosed rankings), only the Visa voting, which kept its rankings hidden, had Jimin ranked 1st.

This is why the whole situation causes an uproar over accusations of vote manipulations, even among international fans.

Fans are calling for MAMA to disclose the voting rates and rankings fairly.

Isn’t it natural to expect full transparency of the rankings in a 100% fan-vote-based award?

theqoo

-Reveal the vote count.

-It’s shady from the start that the vote count is not disclosed. Even if they reveal it later, how can we trust it?

-It’s definitely shady, but since it’s a fight between the beneficiary groups of that company, I just want to say, "F*ck this. Whatever. You guys fight it out yourselves.”

-Both of them are under HYBE, so let them figure it out themselves.

-But the fact that they're not revealing the results is very shady.

-If it's 100% based on fan votes, the results should be fully disclosed.

-Family fightㅋ

-Since they’re fighting amongst themselves, whatever. But it's indeed hilarious how they keep the vote results hidden when it's 100% based on fan votes.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are they trying to kill each other?

-It's so funny that these Haboongies are trying to slander each otherㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Enhypen is really popular in Chinaㅋㅋ

-Now that I think about it, they’re both from HYBE.

-They should've given that award to Enhypen.

-What a messㅋㅋㅋ

-Disclose the results.

-Award thiefㅋㅋㅋ But the fans must be so pissed off since they worked so har on the voting.

-If it’s an award based on votes, they should disclose the vote counts.

-Two of these awards should've gone to Aespaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What's this.

-What Jimin received is 100% based on votes. It’s hard to consider it a Daesang; it’s more like a popularity award. Even that had voting irregularities.

-Aespa deserved at least two awards, considering it’s their year.

-Congratulations, SEVENTEEN!!

-They all deserve to win those awards. Congratulations.

-I thought SEVENTEEN won those awards for 'God of Music,' but that song wasn't even released this year.

ㄴSince the judging started from October last year. 'God of Music' actually qualifies.

-What song did SEVENTEEN release this year? I'm curious.

-Congratulations, SEVENTEEN.

-Congratulations, Jjang-spa.

-Congatulations, SEVENTEEN and Aespa.

-I think Aespa should've won two awards, though..?

-I think the Best Album of the Year should've gone to DAY6......

-That agency againㅋ

-Congratulation, Jimin.

-This year was clearly Aespa's year, though...

-I think they all deserve to win their awards, though...?

-Aespa, Aespa, Aespa. They should've given those awards to Aespa.

-I totally enjoyed this year because of Aespa!

-Congratulations to SEVENTEEN, Aespa, and Jimin.

Min Heejin's remarks: "V texted me at dawn" was all lie? Ministry of Defense responds to allegations of special treatment

 

Response to complaints regarding Min Heejin and BTS V' text messages

2. Hello, this is the complaint officer from the 802nd military police unit. Thank you for your interest in national defense matters. Here is our response to your inquiry.

3. Your complain appears to suspect BTS' member Kim Taehyung (Stage name: V, hereinafter referred to as Kim Taehyung) for using his cellphone during his time at the Army Training Center during the hours when cellphone use is prohibited. You also asked for investigation whether his unit gave him special treatment as a celebrity or overlooked such behavior.

4. Our review of your concerns is as follows:

a. After confirming, it has been confirmed that the Army Training Center where Kim Taehyun served allows trainees to use their cell phones for one hour during weekends and holidays.

b. It has been confirmed that Kim Taehyung received his cellphone according to the guidelines of the Army Training Center and used it during the designated usage time, which is in the afternoon, not in the early morning.

c. It has been confirmed that Kim Taehyung did not receive special permission to use his cellphone or that such actions were condoned during any time other than those stated in point A.

d. Details regarding the specific date, method, and content of conversations between the individuals involved cannot be disclosed due to Article 3 of the Personal Information Protection Act and Article 3 of the Telecommunications Privacy Act, which protects the confidentiality of communication.

Former ADOR CEO Min Heejin said, "V occasionally calls me from the military. He's a naturally bright and cheerful person. Amidst this whole situation, he reached out to me and asked, 'Are you okay?' Later, he mentioned that he was feeling hesitant about when to contact me. I was grateful for his concern."

She also added, "He texted me on my birthday in the early morning to say happy birthday. He’s genuinely warm and kind. I appreciated that."

Summary: Trainees are allowed to use their cell phones during designated times. V did not send Min Heejin a text in the early morning.

-Sigh... It was probably a scheduled message. What are you guys doing...

-People... He probably texted her during his leave or maybe it was a scheduled messages. Why filing complaints and making all this fuss?

-Sigh... These people are filing complaints over the smallest things...

-The people who filed these complaintsㅋㅋ Don't you guys have friends?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Scheduled messages exist, elderly...

-They're #1 when it comes to wasting time on meaningless things.

-These Haboongies seem to have too much time on their hands.

-Is this really that important?? Whether it was a scheduled message or he sent it during his leave, why does it even matter?

-Why is this even making the news? Don’t people have better things to do?

-Scheduled messages exist, Haboongies.

-The dumbasses who filed these complaints are the real problem.

-Don't you guys know about scheduled messages???? Are you stupid?????

-Why are they doing this to V?

-This is so sickening.

-V is probably tired of all these Haboongies as wellㅋㅋㅋ

IZM review of Jin's I'll Be There

 

It's an encouraging song that is filled only with happiness. The song is easy to sing, it's not difficult, and doesn't have any boring sections. Jin's vocal on top of the lively rockabilly sound brings a refreshing sense. The lyrics offer straightforward and comforting support, promising to be there when life gets tough. While it feels lighter and less distinctive than his previous single 'The Astronaut,' it provides a universally enjoyable and relaxing experience. Sometimes, simplicity and a well-rounded composition can indeed be the best choice.

theqoo

-It sounds kind of like a trot song.

-Didn't they give Seventeen's Super 2.5 starts?

-I checked it out because people said it sounded like trot, and his vocal style indeed does give off that vibe.

-There are many IZM reviewers. This is just one person's opinion. Some HYBE idols have also received harsh reviews on there, and the same artist sometimes gets bad reviews, sometimes good ones. It's just one review, but people are fixated on the criticisms.

-He sounds amazing live. He actually sounds better live than recorded.

-Jungkook’s solo album was decent but got two stars, while this gets three... Hmm.

-You guys only think it's credible if they have the same opinion as you, right?

-The song is actually good. I really enjoy listening to it.

-Whoa... Look at all these hate comments.

-I checked the song out and it actually sounds very exciting and good...

-I actually like this song.

-Looks like they only harshly criticize certain artistsㅎ IZM is not worth trusting.

-Honestly, it doesn’t seem like a song deserving of such a high rating.

The production cost of BTS' universe drama has been consistently being talked about because it seems strange

 Chorokbaem is set to release a blockbuster drama that can collaborate with global OTT (online video service) companies in the second half of the year.

The drama 'YOUTH', with a production cost of 40 B KRW, is about BTS' universe. It tells the journey of scarred boys who grow together in empathy for each other's pain. Writer Kim Soojin, known for her work like 'The Light in Your Eyes' and 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bokjoo', will be involved in the production of this drama. 

https://n.news.naver.com/article/008/0004524502

If you compare it with the production costs of other dramas, you'll see why the 40 B KRW production cost of BTS' drama is unusual 

Squid Game (Season 1) had a production cost of 20 B KRW (9 episodes)

Sweet Home (Season 1) had a production cost of 30 B KRW (10 episodes)

 

Narco-Saints had a production cost of 35 B KRW (6 episodes)

Kingdom (Season 1) had a production cost of 35 B KRW (6 episodes)

Movie Snowpiercer had a production cost of 40 B KRW.

Movies Along with the Gods 1 + 2 had a total production cost of 40 B KRW.

Mr. Sunshine had a production cost of 40 B KRW (24 episodes)

Moving had a production cost of 50 B KRW (20 episodes)

You can't blame the casting -> All the actors in the BTS drama are newcomers.

Genre? You can't blame the CGI -> It's not a sci-fi drama, it's just a regular slice-of-life drama.

Blaming the different filming times also doesn't make sense -> Squid Game started filming in June to October 2020 (took a year). 

BTS drama YOUTH began filming in September 2020 -> halted -> an article appeared on April 7, 2021 stating they would resume filming with the goal to be released in 2021. 

: Since then, the production team and actors have resumed the temporarily halted filming. While the exact end date of filming and airing schedule has not been confirmed, filming is expected to continue until summer.

theqoo

-Has anyone actually seen it? Does it look like a lot of money was spent on the production of it?

-That cost 400 B KRW?

-Chorokbaem sounds familiar… Aren’t they a big company?

-Seriously, though... Who's laundering money here?

-How much did they pocket?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Now I see why they made this dramaㅋㅋ

-Ah...? Has it already been released?

-I thought BTS was in it, so I thought maybe the production costed a lot of money to pay BTS' appearances fee. But it turns out that the drama is actually starred by some rookie actors??

-Where did all that money go?

-It all went to their pocketㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did they go to America with that money?

-What was the point of making this drama?

-How does that drama cost 400 B KRW?

-Shouldn’t this be investigated?

The similarities between Taylor Swift and HYBE idols' concerts

Bottom: BTS Bang Bang Con (2020)

Top: Taylor Swift Reputation Stadium Tour (2018)

Bottom: BTS 2019 MAMA Performance (2019)

I deleted the third comparison since it could cause confusion

You can't deny that they used (Taylor Swift) as their reference

theqoo

-That snake, though... Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor? How can they blatantly copy thatㅠㅠ This is so upsetting.

-Comparisons like these make it clear that knockoffs can't catch up to the originals. I'm not defending the knockoffs.

-I don't know if it's because I'm a fan of Taylor, but I can't accept it if they said the snake was just a coincidenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What relation does BTS have to that snake?

-I think they copied Taylor too much, both the first and second comparisons.

-It's funny that they can't even copy properly and end up with that kind of qualityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Those umbrellas look cheap.

-They're copying Taylor's concept like it's a free source.

-Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor...?ㅋㅋ How can they just copy that? Especially with no context?

-I know what that snake means for Taylor, even as someone who is not really interested in pop singers... Why is there a snake on BTS' stage? It's so out of the blue.

-Taylor's snake has context and a narrative... Out of all the animals, a snake?

-It looks like they bought those umbrellas at a convenience store and just added some lightingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The snake has something to do with Hermes or Asclepius; it has nothing to do with Dionysus.
