smh I can't believe Koreaboo rn...! (1 Viewer)

I do NOT follow Koreaboo on Twitter, but I do follow the Jungkook topic, and look at- just LOOK AT what just popped up under the topic!



I didn't read the article and don't intend to, but judging from the comments, I already know it's fake news! All this hoopla over a fucking selfie???

@ARMY forgot to tag us! lol

Jungkook had a stake in the stocks for the company Six6uys, yet he had worn the shirt on broadcasts without explicitly stating so. This could result in a manipulation of the profits given his influence on consumers.

I'm inclined to believe he knew exactly what he was doing.

 

[VillageIdiot]

If he wore the shirt but never mentioned it or promoted it in anyway, it's not advertising, it's just wearing a stupid shirt

 

[LeeHoseok]

You went full MAGA with that defense, yikes.
I read the story and the translation of the complaint, and honestly, that netizen isn't wrong.
Up until four days ago Jungkook was an internal director in the company, meaning technically he was making money by wearing those items, whether or not he explicitly endorsed them. It's ethicality is rather dubious.

It's Koreaboo. Always take what they say with a grain of salt

@Hopewrecked we don't know if it's true or not yet so let's wait and see. If the controversy gets too big, BH will probably adress it. If it's true then he wore the tee-shirt, yes but he did not say one word about it. It's not backward advertising either as he was probably not paid by his brother for that. He wore this tee-shirt during the vlive but he sold out everything all the time anyways. He is allowed to wear whatever he wants.

And you are always in BTS threads to shade them when you see a chance, yikes. At this point, you are clearly an anti, you even did that in an thread talking about Suga's shoulder surgery. I remember you.

This user and some others who seem to have disappeared now were/are ? always on BTS and ARMY back. It's not a problem for them to always generalize a fandom when most Kpop Source ARMY are really nice but they don't have the right to feel good in this place like the others. They pretend to only shade ARMY but they insult BTS talent, music and always compare them to others idols who are obviously all way more talented than garbage BTS. Of course these idols are talented but no need to downplay BTS to praise them. And each time that an ARMY speak up they gaslight us.

Indeed, in particular when you are speaking about SM as the Kpop noble knights. Several ex SM artists sued this company. Just to say.

I would like to speak more because some of the things that were said about BTS and ARMY here were awful when we were mostly all kind to others users but I don't want us to gang up on this user too. She was not the only one after all.

Almost all ARMY leave KpopSource there is a reason why.

Sadly. Their first years as rookies were diffcult for them because of the hate that they received straight away. Then they began to blow up and with success comes jealousy and anger.

BTS are not perfect, they made mistake of course but others idols too. ARMY are far from all being angels but are you the best to comment when you laughed at the group and theirs fans out of pettiness ?

 

[LeeHoseok]

All I said was that the complaint had merit and the position he held was ethically dubious, is everything okay at home for you all? Go touch some grass, really.

Except that nothing was proved yet. First of all, not even BTS Kantis tried to spread these news because the only source is a doubtful Korean tabloid. Only AKP and Koreaboo two ureliable sites released an article in English about that as far as I know. BH announced today that they are taking actions against hate comments and slandering. Weird timing, no ? This is old news in Korea, the two brands that are named apparently want to take action too, they supposedly announced it already. I won't claim for sure that this is fake news or real news. Time will tell.

But you probably don't care about all that because it's BTS. I have seen you showing more mercy toward others groups, giving the benefit of the doubt but you don't do that with the ones that you don't like. At time, some of your posts regarding BTS and HYBE sounded like conspiracy theories.


Your answer is very funny to me. Apply your own advice to yourself. It's obvious that you don't really care if what Jungkook did is ethical or not. You are weirdly obsessed by BTS.


Now let's say that he was indeed an in-door director in this company. Is a director not allowed to use some of their own products in public because it could help to advertise the product ? I don't think so. Others celebrities who created their fashion brand or whatsoever wear it in public sometimes. Should Rihanna not wear her clothes and make-up then when she is in the street ?

The reason why there is a small controversy about it is because a lot of Korean celebrities were caught in backdoor advertisement controversies recently. They were paid to endorse a product, advertised it but never specified that they were paid to do so. Except that it went too far and the witch-hunt began. Some female idols were accused of backdoor advertisement just because they wore a certain lipstick but did not specify the brand. Most Knetzs in the comments defend Jungkook because he did not speak of the tee-shirt at all. He was simply wearing it, there is a clear difference. The brand name could not be seen.
