BTS Fans Request V to Depart from HYBE Entertainment

V’s Upcoming Release Sparks Fan Outrage Over HYBE’s Lack of Promotion

Recently, BTS member V created excitement among his fanbase with teasers for his new single “Winter Ahead,”a collaboration with renowned artist Park Hyo Shin. However, this anticipation was soon overshadowed by fan discontent regarding the minimal promotional efforts from HYBE, the entertainment company managing both V and BTS.

Fans Voice Concerns About Promotional Support

Many fans have expressed their frustration at the absence of updates or promotional posts on HYBE’s official social media channels concerning V’s much-anticipated project. Despite the company’s lack of visibility, V has actively engaged with fans online, taking the time to express his gratitude for their support, even while fulfilling his military duties.

Backlash From Fans and Call for Change

The situation has intensified fan anger, with many disputing claims that V prefers no promotional support from HYBE. They argue that his interactivity with posts related to his teaser is clear evidence of his wish for more prominent promotions.

This discontent has prompted numerous netizens and supporters to encourage V to consider leaving HYBE upon the expiration of his contract, citing perceived inequities in how his solo activities are managed. It’s noteworthy that V isn’t alone in facing challenges, as other members of BTS have similarly reported a lack of promotional efforts during their solo endeavors.

Disappearance of Fancams Raises Further Concerns

Compounding the controversy, fans have observed that several of V’s much-loved performance fancams have been inexplicably removed from YouTube. V has garnered significant attention online, with various fancams, including his iconic “Boy With Luv”performance, surpassing 100 million views.

While official broadcasts remain available, the removal of fan-uploaded videos—some boasting tens of millions of views—has sparked speculation among fans that HYBE is behind these actions, invoking copyright claims. This issue appears to disproportionately affect V, intensifying the call for more equitable treatment from management.

Fan Mobilization on Social Media

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), V’s supporters have united, trending hashtags that advocate for fair treatment for the artist. This groundswell of support reflects their deep concern for V’s career recognition and marketing.

Notably, in 2021, V set the remarkable record as the only male K-pop idol whose seven fancams each surpassed 10 million views on YouTube—an achievement which remains unrivaled in the industry. He also holds the highest numbers for both official and unofficial fancams on Facebook among his peers.

The disappearance of these popular fancams has left fans feeling both frustrated and disheartened, further fueling calls for HYBE to reevaluate their promotional strategies concerning V’s solo career endeavors.
