BTS Gets Dragged Into Fandom Drama While Away In The Military
Six of BTS‘s seven members are currently serving in South Korea’s military, but, in some ways, it’s like they never left.
The members have been releasing solo projects while in the military. RM‘s Right Place, Wrong Person album, J-Hope‘s HOPE on the Street album, and V‘s song “FRI(END)S” — just to name a few. Though ARMYs are loving all the content, not everyone is happy about BTS’s new music.
Some netizens feel that BTS’s current chart-topping success is unfair, claiming that other groups are not being given a chance to shine while BTS is away.

As fans have pointed out, however, idols are allowed to release music during their military service, if that music was produced before they enlisted. ARMYs are coming to BTS’s defense, saying that the blame should be placed on agencies that did not prepare to-be-released music ahead of their idols’ military service.
They are so bitter and mad that BTS keeps releasing music while being in the military because kpoppies can't grasp the fact that musicians can release music made before the military while being in the army and the govt won't get money out of it LMAO pic.twitter.com/PcLrUbvDdl

Kpoppies are only pretending to not understand how BTS can release music they pre recorded whilst in the military. They are just hurt that now it’s OBVIOUS other idols didn’t feel like doing the same and never put in the amount of work or effort BTS always has.

I mean enlistment is never a "surprise" for male idols
Don't be mad that other companies didn't see the effort of planning content/music that can't be physically promoted. They CAN do that; you're just mad those companies choose not to https://t.co/L8o1xyXpcw

This is a person who has been taught that when others succeed, it prevents others from doing so and they are probably guilted and gaslit into holding themselves back for others. Thats a pretty deep rooted mindset. Perhaps therapy is in order but not bts responsibility. It’s also…
