BTS criticised for exaggerated articles on official homepage
BTS received a number of negative comments for the articles posted on their official homepage and message boards.
On December 7th, netizens discovered the number of articles posted on BTS’ message boards and criticised it for its exaggerated reporting. The notice on their website repeatedly posted articles about the group’s 90,000 sales mark, even making a quick reference as EXO’s emerging rivals. Other statements criticised by the netizens include, “#1 on real-time and weekly charts of Manteo! SM and YG Entertainment level!” and “The rise of the scary boys… 90,000 copies sold in the first week!”
Although BTS was praised for managing to sell 90,000 copies of their latest album, The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Pt. 2, however, fans feel irritated with the nonsense articles posted on their homepage instead.
