K-Netizens Criticize HYBE For The Additional Expenses Related To The BTS Jin Hug Event

K-Netizens criticize HYBE for the additional expenses related to the BTS Jin Hug event.

“Grabbing a Thousand People” In spite of HYBE’s most recent changes, fans are still furious with BTS Jin’s free hug event. Source: Nate at X Sports News [+232, -63] Yes, it went too far. Instead of adding extra record charges on top of the already exorbitant costs fans have to bear, artists ought to be rewarding them with coffee for sticking with them through all of this. [+135, -11] I’m so tired of K-Pop businesses trying to take advantage of their followers financially. How many albums are they actually expecting people to purchase? [+118, -10] This is a Jin event, hence only Jin albums ought to be submitted. Do not use this as a chance to unload excess albums from the other members. [+110, -11] This is really disgusting. That way, whomever purchases the most CDs will get to give him a hug ニ. I suppose that not even a person as successful as BTS could refuse something like this. Fans are simply ATMs, tsk tsk. [+28, -4] Therefore, these hug events feel a lot like a plan to get rid of extra albums they have lying around, rather than even new ones. Hybe being Hybe [+16, -3] [+11, -2] Just to give him a hug ニㅋㅋㅋ [+6, -1] Hybe is blamed for viewing Armies merely as ATMs for this reason. I doubt Sukjin would want anything similar either! Source: Nate at X Sports News [+88, -4] Very distressing, Hybe has to quit attempting to damage the reputation Jin has worked so hard to establish! [+57, -4] Hybe ought to stop doing this, as young students make up the majority of their clientele. [+46, -2] Hybe is so consumed by avarice that all they can think about is how to take advantage of the members in this way. They could see what fans really desire from them if they would simply open their eyes. [+38, -2] It’s likely that poor Jin planned this hug event with good intentions, only for Hybe to muddy the waters. [+5, -0] The dogs at Hybe were the source of this concept. Jin oppa only intended to host an event as a way of saying “thank you” to his supporters, but Hybe had to step in and figure out additional methods to take advantage of every chance to extract more cash from them. Horrible… [+4, -0] Hybe performs their job very poorly. I’m beginning to believe that their management team is completely lacking in experience in the entertainment industry.
