Netizens often make a lot of claims about K-Pop idols, and the BTS members are no exceptions. Throughout the years, there have been some ridiculous claims made by netizens about the BTS members. Here are 5 of them.

1. Netizens accusing BTS of sajaegi

In 2015, netizens accused BTS of sajaegi (where a company buys albums in large quantities to inflate the official numbers) since their album “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1″ was beating BIGBANG on the Hanteo Charts. Also, BTS’s agency (Big Hit Entertainment) wasn’t big at the time, so netizens thought it was strange that a group from a small company was selling so many albums.

2. Netizens claiming that BTS would fail

When BTS debuted, they received a lot of hate from netizens. Many netizens commented on how the group would fail due to their name (Bangtan Sonyeondan, meaning Bulletproof Boyscouts). BTS also received criticism for saying that they looked up to BIGBANG.

Why don’t you name the members like a bulletproof helmet or bulletproof vest as well

Just because your role model is BIGBANG doesn’t mean you become like them

They’ll probably try to be like BIGBANG and then disappear a year later, 2 years at most ㅋㅋㅋ

These malicious netizens ended up being wrong, as BTS went on to become legends who helped spread K-Pop globally.

3. Netizens claiming that V is rude

In 2015, when BTS were giving their acceptance speech on an episode of M! Countdown, V was seen singing BIGBANG‘s “Loser”.

Netizens criticized V for this and some even said that he was being rude.

“He’s really going overboard. BIGBANG fans are going to be so pissed.

I’m not even a fan and it looks like he’s mocking them.

His fans are being ridiculous. ’It’s cause he’s excited’…so disrespectful.

— Netizens

Not long after, V posted on BTS’s Twitter account, which many believed was a response to these comments.

These three songs are the ones I listen to every day before going to sleep because they’re really good, so it became a habit that the lyrics came out of my mouth upon receiving the trophy..ㅠㅠ I love you guys, you’re really cool!
