Upon seeing the claims, ARMYs were frustrated by the media and HYBE Labels.
They elaborated that without BTS, HYBE wouldn't be able to flourish as a company and manifest the success they have today.
Fans even suspected of HYBE doing a media play to gain attention from the general public. They stressed out that despite BTS's massive contribution to the agency, HYBE is allegedly "bringing down" BTS.
Furthermore, some ARMYs preferred BTS members not renewing their contracts in HYBE Labels.
See their comments below:
"But without BTS, there would've been no HYBE to start with. The way they wrote is pitiful."
"The way they're trying to bring down BTS is foul. But we don't care. I wish BTS can leave soon."
"Let's see what HYBE will do if BTS leaves them. They're so bizarre. They're doing well indeed, but at least spread the truth about why you're doing well."
"HYBE pi**es me off more and more, I can't trust them anymore. Please BTS, don't renew your contract anymore, and just come out."
"Anyone can tell that these are just media play by HYBE. The way they're denying reality is ugly. Don't they know who even rose HYBE stocks in the first place."
"Why do they resort to this type of media play?"
