BTS express their dissatisfaction with HYBE during today's group livestream

1. Why does it have to be all or nothing? Why is everyone telling them to just leave? I think it's completely fair for them to express their dissatisfaction about being treated like cash cows while junior groups debut. And, do people seriously think low level employees decide comeback schedules or how much push an artist gets?? At the top of HYBE it's Bang Si-hyuk, the relatives and connections he planted after the company went public, and the producers who've had the loudest voices since the Big Hit days—so what are you even emotionally projecting about? ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹
 
2. The funny thing is that ARMYs themselves aren’t that bothered, but people outside are beating the hell out of them over this. Since RM is connected to the company, he normally wouldn’t talk about stuff like this publicly, so my first thought was, “How bad did it have to be for him to express it?” And honestly, fans know way too well how unbelievably shitty this year’s plan was. I mean, BTS are basically super–top-tier in the industry—are you saying they can’t even say that much to the company? This is seriously the typical clueless bullshit take. To be clear, BTS aren’t executives or anything; they’re contract employees. If it were another idol group complaining about HYBE, TheQoo would’ve been like “yeah, exactly,” but the moment the subject is BTS, suddenly they’re pissed and dogpiling them.
 
3. If it had been another idol group, there would have been around 1,400 hate comments against HYBE. But since BTS said it, the reaction is different. Honestly, Theqoo really seems to be full of obsessive BTS antis.
 
4. Honestly, with that level of seniority—and especially since it's BTS—the artists hold an insanely strong position. If they showed even the slightest intention to do group activities, the company would support them immediately. So why would they say something like that?

5. They are the group that took HYBE public, lol. They're literally in a super-power position. If the one in power isn't satisfied, then the other side should be the one to meet their needs—what's the problem? If the company went public based on just one artist, it make sense.

6. Unless you're a hardcore HYBE stan—or a BTS anti—why would anyone get so worked up over what Namjoon said? LOL. Other HYBE artists have also criticized HYBE and the reactions weren't bad at all—people even said it was refreshing. But seeng this kind of double standard only when it comes to BTS really shows how many outside antis swarm them.

7. It seems like the delay in their comeback is largely due to the company's side. Once artists reach a certain seniority, being treated as a cash cow is pretty common. They probably couldn't openly explain the reason for the delay, but with the fandom's reaction getting so intense, they seemed frustrated and ended up speaking out.

8. They don't evcen seem to want to film their own self-produced content, so why are they blaming the company? LOL. At their level of seniority and with their position, just how much influence do you think they have within the company? LOL.

9. Between HYBE and BTS, it feels like BTS would be the one in the position of power... From the perpective on an outsider, it's hard to believe the company would block them if they really had a strong desire to promote. They'd make an insane amount of money.

10. Honetly, if you put BTS and HYBE side by side, isn't BTS the one with upper hand? They even renewed their contracts—if they have demands, they should be the ones making them. The company is naturally going to have to pay attention to new groups.

11. If it's like this, they probably won't renew their contracts—there's no way they would, right, with that many complaints. Judging by the comments, it even seems like the fans want them to leave too.

12. This is exhausting... Stuff like this should be discussed and resolved with the livestream turned off. What do they expect by telling fans—do they want fans to send protest trucks or something? I seriously hate HYBE, but I don't even want to know about things like this.

13. Why do people keep telling them to leave HYBE? HYBE is a company BTS built. If anyone's leaving after all this, it should be Bang Si-hyuk—that would be HYBE's biggest screw-up. And they keep saying like five hundred billion times that this isn't about stirring up resentment.

14. Don't you think it's strange to say something like that on a livestream? Why bring it up on a live broadcast where fans are watching??

15. I've followed BTS since their debut for more than 10 years, and yeah, HYBE is trash—but honestly, BTS isn't a group that never says things like this. They're probably close with Bang Si-hyuk, so I still don't understand why they say all of this to fans instead of saying it directly to Bang? I really don't get it.

16. The members probably have internal circumtances that only they themselves know, which is why they spoke that way. Why are there so many people suddenly trying to understand HYBE's position? Those are things lower seniority artists can say, and no ARMYs is holding onto resentment over it. Everyone's just taking itu as it is—there's no real impact—so why do people keep going on about whether fans are being fed resentment or not? LOL.

17. It really seems like the company has protected them a lot... In many ways. they're inevitability compared to other groups from the same era. I guess this is why people say the one who lasts the longest is the strongest, lol.

18. Did Theqoo just start bashing BTS or something? Here, if they praise the company, people attack them for being "one with HYBE," and if they complain about the company, people call them whiny and resentful. It seems like no matter what they do, people just want to hate on them.

19. In fact, the fans don't even think much about this, but somehow outsiders are taking on all this resentment on their behalf?

20. Rather than feeding fans' resentment, they should communicate directly with the company where no one can see. Saying things like this doesn't solve anything—it only makes fans resentful.
