Following B.I's recent drug scandal, there have been some iKONics have been using the phrase "WePurpleYouHanbin" and "WePurpleYouiKON" to support their idol group along with B.I. Some BTS fans have taken to Twitter to voice their displeasure about the phrase being used in a context outside of BTS.
"WePurpleYou" is mainly a term used in regards to BTS's V. Some fans are expressing their concern that this phrase is being linked to the current scandal and have expressed their displeasure.
The phrase is very important to both BTS and ARMY. It being by a member of BTS and sharing it privately during a concert, it’s kind of our own language.I don’t think it’s appropriate to other fandoms because it doesn’t hold the same emotion and meaning between the fans and artist
I am sorry for what is happening but this term is created by Taehyung for his fans.. for ARMY and not to be used for others please if you say you’re multi respect BTS too
There are plenty of ways to show support however "I purple you" holds a deep meaning to our fandom. Please respect it. Not all of us Stan I///K*n and it shouldn't be used on an incorrect context
I find myself in the situation of agreeing with the army :(

I'm not an Army but i feel them. "5-1=0" was a phrase used for TVXQ during their lawsuit case but Vips used this term to support Seungri pimp. It annoyed me a lot. Support whoever you want but at least be creative
