During the eras of ‘Sweet Night’, ‘Layover’, and ‘Friends’, a concerning trend has emerged within the ARMY fanbase. Despite Taehyung’s contributions to BTS, some fans have consistently prioritized other members over him. This is evident in their streaming habits, where they focus on other members’ tracks during Taehyung’s designated tracking weeks.
Furthermore, Taehyung’s songs are often excluded from fan playlists or used as filler tracks, and he receives limited votes in fan polls. Fans have even questioned his talent and subjected him to criticism, allowing other fandoms to bully him. Additionally, there have been instances of fans unfollowing Taehyung on Instagram due to perceived disparities in follower counts.
Notably, fan efforts have focused on maintaining another member’s #1 spot rather than supporting Taehyung’s achievements. This includes attempts to shut down fanbases over filter rates that were actually lower than those of other members and the group as a whole.
This phenomenon raises important questions about fan culture and the treatment of individual members within a group. As fans, it’s essential to promote inclusivity, support, and positivity for all members equally.
