ARMY are standing up for BTS after the group was accused of music chart manipulation.

On June 13, a Paraguayan media outlet called 'ABC Digital' alleged BTS were only able to achieve #1 on the Billboard 'HOT 100' music charts with their English track "Butter" was by cheating and manipulating the music charts. ABC Digital claimed BTS had only topped the chart because they "sold cheap" for 69 cents a track bought copies of their song "in bulk." 

The media outlet further claimed BTS and ARMY had rendered music charts "useless" with their manipulation. However, ARMY quickly responded by demanding an apology as there is no evidence of any chart manipulation.

ABC Digital has yet to respond.

Please proofread your articles before publishing them, as there are at least two sentences that make less sense than the accusation of this media outlet - which, by the way, should not get any press as it’s baseless and frankly laughable.

Unless Billboard itself says there has been manipulation, this statement from a random Paraguayan person holds no weight, and has given zero evidence to back it. Safe to say we can disregard this idiotic media outlet that nobody has heard of.
