BIGHIT MUSIC Apologizes After Making Errors In J-Hope's Listening Party, ARMYs Criticize Agency For Mishaps
Earlier on March 29, J-Hope officially released his album titled "HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1." J-Hope is currently serving in the military, and despite his absence, the album was still highly anticipated by eager fans, who are more than willing to listen to his new content.
However, during a listening party to promote the album, fans were enraged with the agency for experiencing multiple errors. According to fans, the listening party included a purchase link of BTS V's "FRI(END)S" instead of J-Hope's "NEURON."

Here's how fans reacted in a forum and social media platform X (Twitter):
- "Freaking funny, every time a member is releasing a song, they are apologizing for something."
- "No, but did the employees enlist with the members? How are they apologizing every time a member releases a solo?"
- "They just apologized not long ago and are apologizing again."
- "Didn't they apologize for V's Listening too? The fans must be f**king furious."
- "Just like any other company, they have also become so money-minded that they are even willing to tamper with the quality of the product they are producing."
- "It's not like they are some new company, they have been in the business for quite some time, yet they still can't function properly."
- "Are they sabotaging the other members or is it incompetence?"

Enough with apologies... please give proper importance BTS' works. They worked hard for these contents, so you guys have to take care of everything very well more than ever since they are in the military. I hope we won't be faced with these kinds of issues in the future https://t.co/JHzwug7CMh pic.twitter.com/naWcXTzABq
