⚠️ The full context of the conversation matters.
After their concert, Taehyung and Jungkook went to the hotel gym in the middle of the night and encountered people displaying sasaeng-like behavior.
In this live, they weren’t seriously scolding, lecturing, or attacking anyone. They were joking and playfully going back and forth in their regional accents while expressing their frustration about people coming to the hotel gym just to watch or approach them during their personal time.
They were not rejecting fans. In fact, they repeatedly said that people were welcome to come and work out, even saying that it didn’t matter whether there were twenty or thirty people. Their request was simple: come to work out, but please don’t come just to watch them, stare at them, or approach them.
And several details in the post do not match the actual conversation:
• Jungkook did not say “no” to “the girl asking about the 3kg dumbbell,” as claimed in the post. Taehyung asked Jungkook, “Was it when the person said, ‘Can I take the 3kg dumbbell?’” Jungkook clarified, “No, not that. What happened after that…”
• The line translated as “take care of the man next to her” was not something Taehyung said directly to the woman. It was simply part of their conversation during the live about the people they had encountered at the gym. They were not targeting her because she was a woman; the issue they were discussing was people watching, approaching, and interfering with their privacy.
• Taehyung saying that the person in the green shirt was “caught on camera” and that he would post the video was not a threat to publicly humiliate the person. Taehyung and Jungkook regularly film themselves working out and share those workout videos with fans. The person in the green shirt happened to be captured in that footage, so Taehyung was teasing that the person had ended up in the video. That is very different from deliberately filming the person and threatening to expose the person.
Most importantly, there is nothing misogynistic in this conversation. There are no degrading comments about women, no hatred toward women, no sexual objectification, and no hostility toward women as a group.
The issue they were addressing was not gender. It was behavior and personal boundaries.
Taking a few lines out of a playful conversation, removing the surrounding context, and presenting them as if Taehyung and Jungkook were targeting a woman creates a completely different story from what was actually said.
Calling this “misogyny” is simply not supported by the full conversation.
@KeyToMagicShop This colour discourse had nothing to do with BTS but company. And I am glad that some people are understanding that BTS will not be their ‘Idol’ they want them to be. Actually they always broke that taboo and that is why they were, are and will be so loved.
@imillilikeyou Sorry for what u suffered. But many ppl here brought up ur affection for other convicted artist! And making someone else responsible for your own trauma is so not right! Doesn’t matter who does what you have to get real help for yourself! Music is for entertainment.
@stephy_bts@nowtoronto Which album theme was purple? Why before all cities used to lit up purple and it has to be diff colours. The argument of gender specific colours is ridiculous.The real issue is BTS legacy erasure and removal of fandom’s emotions! If u don’t understand comp game u r fooling urself
@Yoonginapuppy2 Army should never let go of Borahae or the purple colour! At this point it is clr that comp doesn’t care much about BTS legacy. Borahae and purple was a bond between BTS and army. A unique purple ocean is still the trademark of BTS fandom! We should never let go of it!
Borahae💜.
~ @UBAonline Your student @jmisolove is inciting hate, making inappropriate sexual comments about an artist and encouraging online harassment. Is this what your college teaches? Please look into this matter urgently amd take necessary action
@SucharitaSpeaks Another deranged joker! These are the type of health professionals who put ppls lives at risk! I pray for her victims if she really can become a professional one day.
@carolinedoab Any gift of science can be used or misused based on the intention of the user. Having said that if we stay away from every such thing then today you will not post on twitter or even learn to write. AI is just another gift of science. U use it well or not depends on u!
This was never about accountability, the intention was to destroy bts from the start, you'll never see another fandom doing this to people they claim to stan. dare i say it is rooted with racism too cuz it is easier to take down a korean artist than western one who did the crime
@ARMY4LIFE84 They did that on purpose. They want people to be aware of their organization, to be known that they exist and fund many donations to them! What a strategy. Many people doesn’t know them until they cancel RM. bunch of hypocrites!!
