STATIONHEAD shocked both ARMY and STAY.
Koreaboo
The app STATION HEAD is popular among fandoms. Users can connect their Apple Music or Spotify accounts to stream their favorite music in a community setting while helping artist charts.
The STATIONHEAD app is especially popular in the K-Pop fandom. In recent years, artists have officially hosted streaming parties, with members of idol groups hosting their respective comebacks. Two groups who have hosted their own streaming parties are BTS AND Stray children.

However, STATIONHEAD left ARMY and STAY disappointed by excluding members in a recent post.
STATIONHEAD’s official X (formerly Twitter) account shared a post asking followers which artists they would be streaming in the new year. This post contained a collage image, including square images from artists. Although most of the photos were photos of individual artists, Stray Kids and BTS were included as groups, but their fans noticed that members had been left out.
In the case of BTS, Jimin was cut and many ARMYs were offended. They pointed out that BTS has seven members, not six. ARMY set trends with “BTS IS SEVEN,” “RESPECT JIMIN,” and “APOLOGIZE TO JIMIN” on X, calling for STATIONHEAD to right their mistake.
BTS is 7 years old, not 6. Posting a photo with a missing member is very disrespectful. If you’re going to post about BTS, you better include ALL of them! @STATIONHEAD
BTS ARE SEVEN
APOLOGIZE TO JIMIN
RESPECT JIMIN
RESPECT BTS https://t.co/6rcryfeOAc— lucia⁷ (@HSK_HOPE13) January 10, 2025
.@STATIONHEAD the BTS photo used is not a photo of a full member and excluding Jimin is a form of insult. Please delete the post and change the photo now!

Likewise, Stray Kids Him was missing from their group photo. While Jimin was cropped out of the BTS photo, Han was absent in the Stray Kids photo. However, STAYs felt it was inappropriate for STATIONHEAD to choose a photo representing Stray Kids that did not include all eight members.
As people have pointed out, the BTS image excludes group member Jimin.
But the Stray Kids photos also exclude group member Han (he was absent in this photo but there are many other shots).
Please do better and research the artists (and always count the heads). 🥲— Jule⁷ 🌙 Yoongi cat agenda ㄱ-ㅅ-ㄱ (@Ashqtara) January 10, 2025

STATIONHEAD has since removed the post.
