The article included photos and a story about the members.
However, when the post was shared, ARMYs immediately responded with criticism of the company. When netizens opened the article, they saw that the author was Lee Seon Myeong. Many pointed out that the author has “slandered” BTS in the past and shared instances where he was biased against BTS. They also noted the lack of information and narrative about V and that only a series of screenshots of his video had been included, although it was mentioned in the title.
Notably, many fans shared that he was one of the journalists who reported to BIGHIT MUSIC.
It’s an open-ended company that doesn’t even monitor. If you want to get items, you should get something else.

bts don’t need haters when their own company is on the front lines. bighit literally failed to protect their artist and now easily publicizes an article written by someone who has been harassing kids every 2 business days 🖕🏻 https://t.co/Op0t1f8T0f

Bighit needs to change the entire PR department. This is not the first time they have published articles by people defaming tanners. @BIGHIT_MUSIC What is the purpose of the reporting website if it then gives the people we are reporting a platform? https://t.co/nakB0Wdlmx

First of all, congratulations to namjoon, taehyung and jungkook. We are proud of you, always.
Secondly, @BIGHIT_MUSICthe journalist who wrote this article has defamed BTS and its members several times. He was even sanctioned for this in 2021. Why share an article written by him.

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