Some time ago, there was an uproar at the BTS concert, 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE' where fans reported fansites that violated the rules.
It was stated that there were a dozen or more people who had been removed from the concert venue because they were caught carrying a professional camera and were called BTS fansites.
Feeling 'hurried' and bullied by ARMYs in Los Angeles, some BTS fansites from South Korea decided to take an indefinite break by posting various BTS photos.
“Caption: Having Fun Hunting Fellow Humans?
Post: Please stop the senseless physical attacks happening at the BTS concert venue! Translated/information accounts, BigHit supporters, and Korean-American fans are spreading baseless rumors that put us fansites in a very negative light…
Some local fans at the Los Angeles PERMISSION TO DANCE concert have been gossiping amongst themselves whenever someone who looks Korean/Chinese/Japanese passes in the audience. Some even engage in physical attacks. Some of us are bullied in groups and threatened with being photographed or recorded to have our identities shared on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
I don't mean to say that I have become a perfect and flawless fansite. But I'd like to ask if what's happening seems plausible. What have the fansite done so wrongly to deserve this kind of treatment?”
“Hello, I decided to post this because I really wanted to get this off my chest. Due to the pandemic, I have been unable to attend face-to-face events in the past two years. So when I landed in the United States, I had high hopes about the concert. But the last few days have been devastating for me both physically and mentally.
Like everyone else at the concert, I came here to have fun. It was good to see the members and their performances again after a long time, so I had fun. But I can't forget how some fans have become so hostile and mean towards the fansite. I can't ignore the fact that the online community frames us as criminals…
As a fansite, all I want to do at concerts is capture the moment and share it with my fellow ARMYs. But the internet now thinks of us very negatively. Some of us have even been physically attacked. I'm tired. And I need some time to cool off. Until then, I won't be uploading anything else."
In response to this, BTS fans said that the actions of fansites did not respect the United States ARMY by violating the rules by smuggling professional cameras, becoming a security hole, which opened up opportunities for irresponsible parties to smuggle firearms, given the dark history of mass shootings that occurred in Indonesia. the country.
