BIGHIT MUSIC‘s latest tweet about BTS‘s RM, V, and Jungkook sparks major backlash.

On September 30, BIGHIT MUSIC’s official X account shared an article speaking about BTS RM, V, and Jungkook’s recent accomplishments, focusing on movies, festivals, and much more.

The article included photos and a narrative about the members.

Yet, when the post was shared, ARMYs instantly hit back with criticism towards the company. As netizens opened the article, they saw that the author was Lee Seon Myeong. Many pointed out that the author has “defamed” BTS in the past and shared instances where he was biased against BTS. They also noticed the lack of information and narrative about V and that only a set of screenshots of his video were inserted, although he was mentioned in the title.

In particular, many fans shared that he was one of the journalists they have been reporting to BIGHIT MUSIC.

Bighit needs to change their entire PR department. This is not the first time they’ve posted articles from people who defamed the tannies. @BIGHIT_MUSIC what’s the point of the report website if you’re giving the people we’re reporting a platform? https://t.co/nakB0Wdlmx

Firstly, congratulations namjoon, taehyung & jungkook. We are proud of you always.

Secondly, @BIGHIT_MUSIC, the reporter who wrote this article has slandered BTS and its members multiple times. He was even sanctioned for it in 2021. Why would you share an article written by him.

Reporter Lee Seon-myeong has previously been warned for violating the Code of Ethics. He has spread rumors about BTS, your artists, for years, targeting them and their families. He is the individual who led the smear campaign against Yoongi, yet here you are sharing his article?? https://t.co/Xyk8HmQayN pic.twitter.com/QiQopxt9Xr
