BTS has one of the largest fan bases in the world. The BTS Army is known for its observant and supporting nature. However, the army is angry now since they noticed a detail that is rude on HYBE’s account. They are now calling HYBE out for such behaviour and asking HYBE to rectify their error.
BTS’s BANGTANTV YouTube channel uploaded a new “EPISODE” from the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This video is special and marks the time in September when BTS attended the event as speakers and special presidential envoys for President Moon Jae In. They attended the event as representatives of South Korea.
The video has subtitles and it is one of those subtitles that has caused a stir among the many fans. This time both K-ARMY (BTS’s Korean fans) and I-ARMY (BTS’s international fans) are hurt by HYBE’s actions. In one of the scenes, the nickname “Chicken Jimin” (“닭지민” or “Dalg Jimin“) was included.
It’s not uncommon for HYBE to use BTS’s nicknames in subtitles but this particular nickname has unpleasant origins. Jimin’s anti-fans have been known to use “Chicken Jimin” in order to ridicule Jimin and disrespect him. One fan wrote, “Sorry to bring drama to your tl, but this is outrageous. K-PJMs are furious about this, and rightfully so.
Instead of putting ‘박지민’ (P@rk J1m1n) in the subtitles, HYBE put ‘닭지민’ instead which basically means ch1cken J1m1n and is used in really horrid anti blogs against him. https://t.co/jEeoGpUBti”
As such, ARMY is now trending “HYBE RESPECT JIMIN” to express their frustration, in the hopes of correcting the subtitle and preventing “Chicken Jimin” from appearing in future BTS content.
