Fans upset after former iKON member B.I is blurred from 'Kingdom' premiere

AKP STAFF

Fans are upset after former iKON member B.I was blurred from the premiere of 'Kingdom'.

Though the former member is not competing on the show alongside iKON, B.I appeared in older clips of the group that was shown in the episode. However, fans are now expressing outrage that he was blurred or edited from the show as they claim it indicates wrongdoing on his part. 

His fans further alleged it creates negative buzz for B.I despite his constant charity work and good behavior following his drug controversy. One of his fan clubs sent Mnet the letter below, and the network responded they would consider fans' opinions in future episodes. The premiere episode will not be re-released, however.

What do you think of the issue?

I can get why sometimes people are blurred on TV but BI is famous and its not like people won't recognize him if hes blurred. Its just a waste of time imo
