K-ARMYs Under Fire For Littering Outside Cafes Celebrating Jungkook’s Birthday
As many ARMYs know, September 1 is BTS‘s maknae Jungkook‘s birthday. To celebrate, fansites raised funds and paid cafés to use personalized Jungkook sleeves for their drinks. Many ARMYs bought drinks from participating cafes to celebrate Jungkook’s birthday.
Many fans were spotted leaving empty or unfinished cups in front of the cafés, however. While many were happy that fans came to support the project, people are upset that they just left their trash out for the employees to clean up.

This is seriously crazy. If you don’t want to finish the drink, you should have just paid for the cup holder. Why did pay for the drink just to leave it out here? What is this? Please don’t do this, BTS wouldn’t like it.

Guys… Please don’t do this.
Many are dissappointed in the fans who did this, saying that it makes BTS and the rest of the fandom look bad. People are also pointing out that not finishing the drinks is not a problem, but the fact that they just left them there is a sign of disrespect.
Oh my god, I’m a BTS fan and I’m so ashamed.
– Korean Netizen
This allegedly happened in different cafés around Hongdae, Seoul. Netizens are upset with these ARMYs’ actions, with many calling out the fans for their lack of manners. Many ARMYs have apologized for these peoples’ actions, saying that only a small percentage of them are like this and most mean no harm.
