"I'm speechless"- Fans angered as posts criticizing HYBE's alleged lack of promotions for BTS' Taehyung's and Park Hyo-shin's Winter Ahead get deleted

On Wednesday, November 27, 2024, many fans noticed some TheQoo posts of netizens criticizing HYBE's alleged lack of promotions for BTS' Taehyung and Park Hyo-shin's Winter Ahead. TheQoo is a South Korean online community platform. A few netizens talked about their concerns about the upcoming single's promotions and called out HYBE for seemingly sabotaging the idol's solo career.

However, fans soon noticed that these posts were deleted. One of the posts on TheQoo talked about how no promotional content for Winter Ahead was released on TikTok or Instagram and received over 400 comments. The same was deleted, and many speculated that HYBE might've been behind the deletion.

While many fans continued to call out HYBE's alleged intentions to underpromote and sabotage Taehyung's solo activities, people also criticized the label for supposedly removing conversations and posts about the issue. Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:

"I'm speechless, idk what to say anymore about this company like every time we say they can't do more the more we get."

"lol but if it was a bad review about tae himself they would have never moved," said a fan on X.

"You're kidding? why are they getting things deleted, aren't they doing their sabotage in broad day light? One would think they don't care." Added a fan.

"The company will let the public have an opinion about their artists, no matter how wrong and vile those opinions are, but the moment the public has opinions about the company, articles and posts are deleted," commented a netizen.

More fans and netizens criticized HYBE Labels for allegedly sabotaging the idol's solo activities.

"That company isn't just shady, they're dumb. Make it more obvious you only move to protect the company/company fave." Stated a fan.

"They even don't hide beef with Taehyung anymore so not sure why this kind of posts makes them feel troubled cuz it just tells the truth," added an X user.

"Never move when the articles defame members .but so quick to save their butts," said a netizen.

"The time it took to them to delete that post they could post the links on ig and tik tok they just dont want to," commented another X user.
