Notably, the Korean version of the trailer had a completely different text displayed during the same section.

The phrasing of the text has not sit well with many fans, who felt it was a deliberate attempt to rid Jungkook of his identity as a BTS member and to project him as a solo act exclusively. A lot of these ARMYs also expressed their suspicion that it reflected the intentions of Scooter Braun, the HYBE America CEO, who has been heavily involved in the solo career of the BTS maknae from the get-go.

all scooter braun wants is what he had with justin bieber and ariana grande and he’s gonna do everything in his power to achieve that with jungkook and jungkook only. he doesn’t give a fuck about the group.
