“HYBE respects Taehyung…”
MOVES has been hit by a strong reaction after his recent activity regarding Behind the scenes‘S AND.
Recently, netizens have noticed that some extremely popular fancams of BTS’s V have been deleted, with many of them having huge views that even surpass some posted by music acts. While it started with the popular “Pied Piper” fancam, one fan shared that other accounts have been targeted for their V fancams.

Netizens were quick to express their anger. While it’s not uncommon for companies to remove videos due to copyright concerns, fans pointed out that this only happened to V’s videos and that other members of BTS’ fancams were still active.
Hybe has claimed copyright for V’s Pied Piper fancam from “To MY DARLING V” and has shut down the “mumu_tae” channel for the same reason, while the other members’ fancams from the same performance are still available.
Bring back V fancams!

Copyright claim after 6 years? And only Taehyung’s fancams have the copyright? Bongo is trying hard to erase Tae’s popularity, but don’t worry, he will always be the king of fancams and the most popular idol. photo.twitter.com/w0WANLYBq7

Taehyung’s Fancams and Focus cams uploaded years ago were recently removed by Hybe with copyright strikes. While similar videos from other members were left untouched. The AV Focus channel was shut down for this reason

One fan even said that it looked like not only had the videos been removed, but some thought the fancam views of his official music show had also been deleted.
Look carefully, half of Taehyung’s fancam views are deleted and note carefully how Taehyung’s video stands out from the rest of the members. Why does HYBE archive all of his videos? We shouldn’t keep quiet about this. Taehyung’s fans in Korea should take action. https://t.co/0eXNJr6aKi photo.twitter.com/ztYxZVYvIb

After the posts attracted the attention of international fans, the topic made its way to the qoo, where netizens shared their anger. Some pointed out how stupid it was, while others pointed out the company’s treatment of V since his debut and even how it could be related to the fact that he had worked with former I LOVE IT CEO Min Hee Jin in the past.
- They are reacting because he collaborated with Min [Hee Jin].
- Wow, we’re not even in Japan, what is this?
- There’s no way…they’re really reacting because he worked with Min [Hee Jin]??
- Why did they only cut V’s fancam? I really love V’s fancam, seriously, why are they doing this?
- HYBE has been like this with V since their BigHit days. Last year’s solo activities were so bad that people were talking about how bad it was. Both the Korean and American public teams did a terrible job.
- Wait, are they only doing this to V..?
- It’s really scary.
- What’s going on? Am I out of my mind?
- Wow, they are deleting fan cams?? Why would such a famous company do such a useless thing???
This isn’t the first time that netizens have criticized HYBE for their treatment of V; you can read more details below.
