Shippers prove yet again the double standards in K-pop

[This is a user post.]


In the recent addition to Apple Music's #BTSRadio, the members of the phenomenal Kpop band, BTS, were asked which songs they think ARMY supports best. Leader Namjoon chose Mikrokosmos and Love Maze. Other songs that were volunteered were: ever so lovely Make It Right, outstanding Heartbeat, the iconic Save Me, and the quintessential Spring Day

What caught everyone's attention was the fact that the two youngest members, often shipped as TAEKOOK, chose the same two songs: Home and Love Maze. Both songs, indeed, have received much love from Armys worldwide. However, it wasn't missed that these two songs are also related to Bobby Jung, a resident composer under BigHit. After netizens sensationalized the ongoing trial of the alleged sex offender, even causing disarray within the BTS fandom and harm to certain members, Taekook shippers were seen trending and happily supporting the said two songs. 

What is quite ironic is that the very same accounts that trended a set of hashtags DEMANDING that Filter (a song written by Danke, three aspiring women) be removed from the upcoming album are the very same accounts trending support for not one but TWO BOBBY JUNG songs. 

Furthermore, what will be interesting is how Korean media will take these new developments. Will they still use the Bobby Jung case to attack members, or is the sabotage limited to just one member? And if that is the case, who's behind the smear campaign?

ekookers are a cult without logic or thought, they use Tae and Jungkook to disguise their hatred against Jimin.

. Double standard.

The worst part of Army is them. .

The worst are those who write fanfics with the real names of real celebrities.Even slogans like "I like them together, I would like to see them as a couple", etc sound very offensive to me. I always think about the real partners of these celebrities, it's terrible to read such idiots.
