Netizens talk about BTS's anthology album including a song produced by Bobby Chung, who is on trial for illegally filming sex videos

AKP STAFF

Composer/guitarist Bobby Chung from the group 'Autumn Vacation' was embroiled in a shocking controversy back in 2020 when a young woman took her own life, and Bobby Chung was pointed out as the cause of her death.

Back in 2020, MBC's 'News Desk reported that the young woman 'A's family claimed that ex-boyfriend 'B' was responsible for the woman's death, accusing 'B' of various crimes including drugging 'A,' then illegally filming 'A' and committing sexual assault on her.

Later that year, numerous speculations arose saying that 'B' was the guitarist/composer Bobby Chung, who has been known to produce some of BTS's most popular songs.

Then, it was confirmed that Bobby Chung was handed over to the prosecution on May 17, 2021, on charges of sexually assaulting a woman he was dating and illegally filming sex videos of her.

Recently, BTS's new tracklist has been garnering attention as Bobby Chung's name was found since the song he produced was included in the group's anthology album. In the second tracklist for CD2 that was revealed, Jimin's solo song "Filter" was included and was a song produced by Bobby Chung.

Therefore, netizens wrote on the online community theqoo criticizing HYBE for including the song in the group's upcoming album. Many of these netizens claimed they felt bad for the members because Bobby Chung's name being listed in the album is bringing a negative effect on the group.

Netizens commented, "This isn't right. I'm disappointed," "Bobby Chung is causing so much trouble for the members, I feel so bad," "There was a time when BTS fans boycotted the songs that Bobby Chung wrote as soon as the controversy started," "There are so many songs that Bobby Chung participated in producing for BTS, omg," "The company is crazy for still including songs produced by a sexual predator like him," "Why did they put his songs in this upcoming album?" "I'm not even surprised anymore," "The agency is out of its mind," and "This is looking bad for BTS. Gosh."

cancel culture at its highest level it's getting too crazy. the songs in question were the result of multiple individuals so why should they be penalized by the crimes of that creep which is something they have absolutely no control over. LA Reid one of the best producers ever who got hundreds of songs under his belt was once involved in a "me too" crime so what are they supposed to do, i mean the artists under his label? end their own careers? how is that their fault? spare me

What a terrible article, solely aimed at causing controversy for BTS. This is journalism at its worst, aimed just to get clicks. Disgusting. Many people were involved in the making of this song.
BTS had nothing to do with this one producer's crimes that occurred after the song was made. This article is clearly written by a BTS hater reaching hard to drag BTS down, using the boys' name for attention. smh. Go report some real news, Hater.
