On October 14, 2025, HYBE released the Merch Shop Visit Guide for Jimin's exhibition The Truth Untold: 지 못한 진 in Chile. The exhibition itself is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 16, 2025. Soon after release of it, the entertainment company managing BTS, started facing significant criticism from fans on social media.

The controversy arrived when fans accessed the official link for the guide on Weverse. They discovered that the headline of the notice was incorrectly labelled as the "Jung Kook Exhibition 'GOLDEN: The Moments' in Chile" Merch Shop Visit Guide."

This mislabeling immediately drew attention and ire from the fanbase. The error was seen as a sign of oversight and unprofessionalism. It was specially so, given that the exhibition for fellow BTS member Jung Kook, had already concluded on July 30, 2025.

"Sloppy, lazy, unprofessional i mean the list can go on sir how do you f*** up a simple post on twitter?"
