BIGBANG’s Taeyang’s Statement Causes Rift With ARMYs, Instagram Flooded With ‘BTS Paved The Way’

Taeyang sat down for an interview with CNN, which aired on December 31st. At the time, the icon spoke of BIGBANG’s powerful influence and status, which has reigned for nearly two decades since their debut in 2006.

“Fortunately, we have been able to open the doors to global markets for many K-pop bands who came after us, and they can perform on stages all over the world,” Taeyang said, when the host asked him what he thought about BIGBANG becoming one of the pioneers of making K-pop a global sensation.

“I wouldn’t say we presented it, but it’s great that our efforts played a role in that.”

Unfortunately, Taeyang’s statement garnered hateful comments from BTS fans ARMY.

On Instagram, his posts have been spammed with unrelated comments from the fandom.

“If it wasn’t for BTS, your favorites would be stuck in Korea. Be grateful to the BTS kids,” one fan commented.

Others repeatedly commented “BTS led the way” under BIGBANG members’ posts.

As soon as the incident reached the attention of VIPs (BIGBANG fans), they immediately jumped in to defend the “Eyes, Nose, Lips” singer by leaving positive comments on his SNS.

“BIGBANG opened the door,” fans retorted.

Other K-pop fandoms also left messages of support and recognized BIGBANG’s contributions.

“EXO-Ls support and protect you too.”

“I’m Carat but I support BIGBANG.”
