South Korea's BTS Faces Allegations of "Cheating" Music Charts | Firstpost America 

Whaaaaat????? Manipulating charts????? Ridiculous!!!!!! These boys made K-pop popular all over the world, they opened the doors to other K-pop bands and gave rise to Korean culture! Why don't you leave these boys alone!!!!! And they are conveniently accused while being in the Army! #SouthKoreaapologizetoBTS

Armys 💜🕊 Attention please Please don't fight with HATERS neither in offline nor online and don't fight with them in the comment section. 🕊 If you encounter with a HATER in your locality just ignore them. * If you will fight back or do a argument with them it means you are giving them a chance to win. Some HATERS doing this only for getting their videos reach or to irritate us and some of them are hating because of some fans childish and toxic acts towards their fandom or fav artists. • Because of some fans (I don't know i should call them fans or not) our whole fandom name is ruined. Now everyone is stereotyping BTS Armys. 💜 I think it is a waste of time to clear antis misconception because they will never understand why we like BTS, person who wants to hate will try to find thousands of reasons to hate. But because of the hype they will hate even more We should ignore them until or unless they mess with the boys directly. ❤‍🔥 ------- And Don't spam BTS in any non-BTS video or live session. It is irritating for non army's. Don't even mention bts in non bts stuffs. > Don't even ask someone if someone is a army in any non-BTS video even if you see username /dp/purple heart related to BTS. 💜 Not everyone like BTS. Everyone has their own choice and if someone don't like BTS it's alright. • Don't ship any member with other celebrities or with their own band members unnecessarily as it can create problems for the person. It cause useless rumors and content for antis. What Namjoon said was true "you guys have changed". So let's clean our fandom together. 😉 ■ We should not drag BTS in every conversation especially in front of non army. some Armys should leave their childish act. 👶 Army's should not cross their limits. ❌ Army's don't promote controversies. 🙅 Like - BTS vs xxx group. Everyone worked hard. What will we get by downgrading someone?? Ik other fandoms are also really childish. Even some of them hates bangtan and are antis but because of them why to hates bangtan and are antis but because of them why to hate other artists. You know the scene in twitter 🐦. please spread this msg.💌 Creat a great fandom together?💜 Kindly ignore any errors in this msg🕊 Fighting!! 💪💜

Chart manipulation suddenly when they are in the military? SHAME ON YOU ALL. Where were all these people when they were literally begging people to attend their concerts? When they had to perform after shows with confetti all over the stage? and when they were bullied because they were not part of the BIG 3. Now they are so successful that the only proof to their success is chart manipulation.

Politicians are the jealous people all over the world South Korea politicians, minister of arts and culture let these kids thrive why you want to drag them down? Although I don't listen any types of music but I'm not jealous of artist's progress

the sajaegi or chart manipulation accusation is part of a coordinated negative campaign against hybe and bts that's being done by antifans and the camp of min heejin as a smokescreen against the ongoing criminal investigation and court cases against her. people should know the following: (1) that the sajaegi accusation goes back to 2017 because exo fans couldn't believe that bts trounced them in the charts and in award shows. (2) it must be pointed out that bighit was a small company in 2017 compared to sm, yg, or jyp, so it didn't have the resources to engage in sajaegi. (3) the court case against bighit for sajaegi was thrown out in 2017. that alone means the sajaegi accusation lacked substance and evidence. (4) the statute of limitations on the bighit sajaegi case has expired, so the fact that it is being brought up again is really more for negative PR purposes. (5) the english version of korea joonang daily article used by most english-speaking sources is curiously spun negatively. the complaint was simply received by the relevant government office, but the government office concerned hasn't even issued an official statement that it will order any investigation. there is a big difference between "receiving" the complaint and actually giving the order for an investigation. (6) the korean police have just issued a statement that they're now doing a criminal investigation against min heejin. this shows that there are sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal complaint against min heejin. a korean court has also ruled that hybe can call a board of directors meeting despite min heejin's objections. with the legal process now moving, even this coordinated negative campaign will be also exposed, as hybe has hired a separate law firm to deal with all the rumor and slander being deliberately spread by certain parties.

There is many things happening in the worldwide but media only for unnecessary things....is it so important???😒

Why do people believe all artists know what shady deals their company makes to make them popular. This doesn't just apply to BTS but to any artist no matter what country they are from.

Until now i focus in BTS album. Because I believe in them. And I don't care what others do Because that never be change my support for BTS. ❤❤❤

If you want to increase your readership, you should not use tricks by spreading rumours, are you aware that spreading rumors is the same as spreading baseless accusations, and there are consequences for those who spread baseless accusations. Think about it.

Oh please… They didn’t cheat!

What the fuck you are saying? South Korea has apologies to BTS

Just gone to say people can say and think what they want but BTS would never cheat. THEY HAVE NO REASON TOO. BTS worked hard and went through so much to reach the level there at no. There popular cause of all ther hard work. To say there was cheating well that is al always will be nonsense. ARMY will always defend BTS. Sometimes I think people are jealous of BTS that they will do and say anything to make them look bad.

If these accusations were made in in recent times, it would be more plausible. 2017? Bighit was nearly bankrupt. I doubt that they would have money to buy in bulk to manipulate the chart. The korean netizens didn't support them at all but they had support from the rest of the world and we the internationall armies bought their albums and merchandise. Just because the south korea netizens didn't support them and didn't buy much of their albums doesn't mean that they rigged their chart sales. Remember that bts became popular internationally before they did in their own country. Please don't try to belittle all their hatd work and the hardships they faced before they made it big. In fact Korea should be grateful to bts. Please don't burn yourselves with hate and jealousy. Bts aren't going anywhere.

Please stop spewing nonsense….

It’s all political motives that they tried to full down BTS popularity and they’re not ashamed to do it!

Their music doesn't even get radio play...where is the chart manipulation?? Spotify downplayed jimins face album so bad. So how

They are know to be a world wide singer coz of there talent and there hardwork not by using dirty trick (bts)day by day year by years people are going against bts....just bcoz of they are jealous of them and nothing else.. ARMY will always love and support bts with are whole heart no matter what ✌✌ 💜💜💜💜

Also hybe wasnt a thing in 2016-2017 when this claim was made

The court ruling mentioned the chart rigging only because that was what the blackmailed claimed. They were cleared of actually doing it. Later a reporter tried to bring up the same accusation. Bighit label took him to court and again proved it was lies. He was forced to withdraw his claims and publicly apologize.

Who among us never heard a song of bts 🤚even you tube algorithm doesn't recommend me 🤣

Hybe is nothing without BTS

Simple answer: no.

Really sad, first post is reporting on all rumours , the petition is sent by another Fandom to ministry which was proven wrong in 2017, it's just jealous Fandom allegation.. The petition is just accepted not investigated... oh my god Really Firstpost Really need to report on basis on rumours and already proven false allegations. If you want to report on them atleast do a proper study , as it has a history don't jump on the bandwagon.

Okay... So when will the result come out ??

if people did their home work they knew that they did back then also the allegation but back then the company almost got backrupt so there were no money and now they still try to get them but now they have money its the same story over and over. there are to many jealous people who don t believe that they can make it with out, because there are to many others who does need it and when there are some who don t need it they are the bad people becaue of the jealousy, why because they are to fake to make it on their own because of their own failliors. and they don t have want BTS have. When you don t have the freedome to make music like BTS then jealousy is a big thing and there will always be some one who try to thake them down.. why just because they have the freedom to make music they love and others have bigger boss behind them and they have to do what he want. thats the differents .. they put all work it to what they love and their boss did see that and give them their space to grow even when it hard they didn t give up. back then they didn t and i still believe that they not doing it now. its because of theis blood sweat and tears. back then they are accussed and got lots of hate and when they are big they still gets the same, what differents does it makes, the real army/fans believes in them, just the blind folded people try to hurt others.

I am very old and love their music.

Oh plz, they do their own music and captured the heart of young and old. Haters will always hate. Listen to their music and you will fall in love.
