BTS, Blackpink, and Stray Kids asked to disband by disgruntled fans

BTS and Blackpink fans battled it out today, with Stray Kids fans caught in the cross-fire after a miss-step.

ARMYs and Blinks went head-on with each other on Twitter, causing hashtags #BTSdisband, #Blackpinkdisband, and eventually #skzdisband to trend in retaliation.

Fans of these groups have a history of squabbling as BTS and Blackpink are two of the biggest K-pop acts worldwide. With such large fanbases, tussles are bound to happen. But today's drama was taken to a new level.

BTS and Blackpink fans face-off but end up uniting against Stray Kids' fans

For unknown reasons, fans of BTS and Blackpink went head-to-head. Insults were thrown, jabs were made, and the two groups began trending #BTSdisband and #Blackpinkdisband to aggravate each other.

This poor Twitter guy really tried to save K-pop stans from pure, vile anger and I can tell it didn't work #btsdisband pic.twitter.com/JYwC6vJHvc

While this is seemingly standard for fights in the K-pop community, things took a turn for the worse when an alleged Stray Kids fan made the following tweet, mocking the two fan bases.

The tweet ignited more drama which was eventually deleted.

Stray Kids fans rushed to comment on the post, telling the user to delete it to avoid drawing flak from other groups.

As a stay I'm disgusted that you said this and as an army I'm disappointed that y'all are dragging the groups in between 🙂 pic.twitter.com/PpDTKkvzzq

Look what you have done now @skzdominati0n many haters come at skz rn just bc of this nonsense post. If u just post abt streaming rather than that, it'll be better.Just encourage fellow stays to stream more and prepare for skz cb.I thought stays agreed not to engage any fanwars?

Unfortunately for them, the damage was already done. What was once a fight between BTS and Blackpink fans turned into a fight against Stray Kids fans. The two larger groups put their differences aside temporarily to put Stray Kids' achievements through a wringer and place their fans under heavy scrutiny. Consequently, #skzdisband began trending.

For those whose asking why #skzdisband is trending it's because STRAY KID's fandom love to insert theirselves in every fandoms situation, like 33k+ ratio from every fandom yesterday isn't enough and they want more than that. pic.twitter.com/qZLNV9D2dA

Many K-pop fans of all the groups involved, known as "multis," gave everyone their two cents on the matter.

the problem here is some kpop stans generalizing the whole fandom and dragging the kids as well. IF SOMEONE FROM YOUR FANDOM IS BLUNTLY SHOWING TOXICITY, WOULD YOU CLAIM THEM ? I bet the answer would be no, and that applies to us as well. anyways lets not just pay attention to it
