“Leave HYBE!” — BTS V’s Treatment From The Company Sparks Major Backlash
BTS V‘s treatment by HYBE has sparked major backlash from netizens ahead of his upcoming solo release.
Recently, a teaser was released for V’s upcoming track “Winter Ahead” with Park Hyo Shin.
Yet, netizens noticed that aside from the teaser, there was a lack of promotion from HYBE about the comeback, whether it was media articles or on social media.
Why are we getting taehyung’s schedule from kmedias now? Like not everyone is going to read articles written in KOREAN 😭
they can’t even post a poster with schedule like other members? why no one talks about how weird this is…

V shared some comments after media outlets posted about the teaser.
Many shared that those claiming V didn’t want promotion were proved wrong when the idol shared his thanks to media outlets who posted about the teaser.
"taehyung don't want to be promoted"
also taehyung liked and commented "Thank you 🙌" on a post with 600 likes 20k views for posting winter ahead teaser pic.twitter.com/d0IZeFtud6

Screenshots of the comments also gained attention on Korean forums, along with the disparity of articles shared about V’s solo compared to other topics, including former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, which also spoke about V (regarding the alleged phone call).
Netizens shared their anger at the lack of promotion V gets, along with other releases from the group happening ahead of the release.
i genuinely can’t phantom the way HYBE/BH simply refuse to promote taehyung when the announcement of winter ahead and its teaser has received so many positive reactions by both knetz and locals… and i’m starting to believe the shinsegae screening isn’t their idea either

fun fact: tae has not released once without a member releasing a remix or another version of their previous track/album in the middle of it 😭

idk how ot7 armys are seeing the way bighit is treating taehyung's new release and being silent about it..Taehyung friends are doing a better job at promoting his song than the company. Taehyung's literally thanking magazines on IG. Bless that man, he deserves better!

In particular, fans are urging V to leave HYBE following his contract ending, sharing that the idol is always constantly mistreated for his solo activities.

TAEHYUNG LEAVE HYBE
"V deserves a team that values his work, not a mentally unstable Hybe that constantly undermines him This is not just mismanagement, it’s sabotaging an artist's dedication and dreams"
2 yrs of V’s blood, sweat, tears & THIS is how u treat his artistry? https://t.co/wyOC7t4QQG pic.twitter.com/fHkVqShV5D
