In an unsurprising turn of events, fans of BTS (ARMY) have called for a complete boycott of K-Media news websites like Allkpop, Koreaboo, and Soompi, in the aftermath of V's dating rumors.Allkpop, Koreaboo, and Soompi are all English language blogs that closely follow all activities and gossip in Korean media, including K-pop and K-drama. Non-Korean speakers are dependent on these for an update of their stars. But despite being news organizations, these sites have been accused of starting rumors several times and adding flames to existing conflicts, for more views. This time, it appears that ARMY has had enough.BTS fans call for Koreaboo, Allkpop, Soompi boycottOn October 14, several news organizations, including the three in question, had reported on BTS's V visiting the VVIP opening of the annual 'Korea International Art Fair (KIAF). They had also mentioned that V was accompanied by the chairman of Paradise Group, Choi Yoon Joon, and her daughter.Social media went abuzz with dating rumors about V and Choi Yoon Joon's daughter after this, and to BTS fans, the reason for the surge of rumors was how the reporting was done by these organizations. Calling Allkpop and Koreaboo clout chasers, several ARMY members questioned the intrusive nature of the reportage.Karen T Vereen@vereen_t@Koreaboo V and other K- POP idols are: Adults why do their fans want to deny them basic human needs?Such dating, marriage and family. This is a natural progression,they are actually adult men and women!

V has himself been paired with several people in the past, including - funnily enough - a fan, all because he used "Hey Nuna" in an Instagram post.V was evidently frustrated by the latest rumors, taking to Weverse to express his displeasure, something he has never done before. The BTS star said:"I'm going to shoot poison needles at the back of their necks. Watch the back of your necks. Puk Puk (stabbing sound)." "So pathetic. I want to sing 'UGH'."BTS' representative, HYBE label too, had to issue a statement rubbishing these rumors.ARMY, though, has their favorite idol's back, and has flooded Twitter with demands to block and report Koreaboo and Allkpop.ly.@qlaumin_block @/allkpop and any other accounts that continue to publish articles about 🐯. don't engage and don't give them clout. this is a serious situation; this is the first time i've seen 🐯 upset. learn from this mistakes, report any photos that are still spreading on socmed.6:04 AM · Oct 15, 20219block @/allkpop and any other accounts that continue to publish articles about 🐯. don't engage and don't give them clout. this is a serious situation; this is the first time i've seen 🐯 upset. learn from this mistakes, report any photos that are still spreading on socmed.Tk \⁷ COLDTAN ERA+ATTACCA@books_melatoninBlock allkpop, koreaboo and soompi.
