BTS’s Jungkook faces fan backlash over protest trucks outside HYBE
An online post has gone viral with over 35,000 views showing protest trucks parked near the HYBE building demanding BTS’s Jungkook get solo promotions.
The trucks displayed messages like:
“Refuse to be bound. Secure one’s personal interest and safety! Jungkook solo tour! Jungkook go solo.”
“Jungkook let’s go higher. Jungkook go solo, Jungkook solo tour.”
“Refuse to be bound. FREE JUNGKOOK. Secure one’s personal interest and safety.”
Some fans saw the trucks as a strong but reasonable call for Jungkook’s solo career to ramp up after group military service. Comments included:
“His solo promotions did well, and he has the potential. Fans have the right to want him to have solo promotions, why is everyone going crazy?”
“It’s obvious that fans want to see a solo promotion since he was dragged into the military as a group. HYBE needs to get it together. Give us Jungkook’s solo!”
“The message on the trucks isn’t written harshly and even uses hearts. It’s more of a fans’ wish truck than a protest truck.”
Other fans felt the trucks were excessive and pressured Jungkook unfairly. They argued:
“It’s not like he’s a minor. I’m sure he will do what he needs to do. True fans don’t do things like this.”
“What’s wrong with them…he will do it when he needs to.”
“He just got discharged from the military…let him breathe.”
Recently, subtle hints about Jungkook’s upcoming solo activities sparked mixed reactions online. Fans remain divided on whether the protest trucks are justified or over the top.
The situation is still developing as fans monitor any official response from HYBE or Jungkook’s side.
