He's Sacrificed Everything?😲 BTS Taehyung's Contract Renewal Fuels Debate Online


On December 27, 2023, BTS' ongoing documentary series debuted two new episodes of the docuseries "Monuments: Beyond The Star," BTS' vocalist Taehyung, also known as V, opened up about the emotional struggles behind renewing his contract with HYBE, their agency. He confessed a yearning for artistic freedom and personal growth, yet he prioritized the stability and happiness of his fellow members, choosing to remain with HYBE for the sake of BTS' future. This heartfelt revelation sparked a heated online debate, Some folks think V should have left HYBE for more freedom. Others think he did the right thing by staying with his friends. 

"I really want to see our members smile and be happy. Regardless of the relationship with the agency, I signed my contract to make the members smile. I wanted them to smile even a little bit since they are so sad right now." Says Taehyung.

Fans were moved by Taehyung's generosity to choose others over his own happiness and aspirations and reacted to it on social media.

"Imagine sacrificing yourself": Fans were stunned by the sudden revelation and condemned HYBE for allegedly neglecting Taehyung's wishes

A Twitter user and fan of BTS V tweeted on the social media platform about HYBE's alleged mistreatment towards the Love Me Again singer-songwriter and apparently sabotaging his solo career. The online user, @kthvord wrote,

"Imagine sacrificing yourself and giving up on so many dreams just for the sake of being loyal to your people. He's literally there just because he loves the members. hope he finds a place where he isn't mistreated and sabotage left and right someday"

Several fans noted that, earlier, Bighit Entertainment reportedly neglected to make a Spotify playlist for Kim Taehyung, and "This Is V" trended on social media on September 25, 2023. This failure has provoked complaints from fans who believe V has allegedly been treated unfairly. Given that only an artist's agency or organization is permitted to create a Spotify playlist, per Spotify's policies, fans have no influence over it as a result.Further, an artist-focused Spotify playlist may also be utilized to simultaneously advertise an artist's music and personalize the listening experience for visitors to their profile. A playlist curated by an artist may also showcase their discography and inspirations in music.Alternatively, fan requests posted in the Spotify Community concept category can also be used to create an alternative version of the "This Is" playlist for artists. Fans can also contact the agency directly to find out if a specific artist's playlist is accessible or not. Thus, the absence of a profile especially for V enraged many fans.

Once again, on November 6, 2023, fans of the Slow Dancing singer-songwriter spammed X, formerly Twitter. They expressed their distress over the absence of the artist's playlist on Spotify by trending two hashtags globally: "WHERE IS THIS IS V" and "BIGHIT ACT FOR V," which received over 23K retweets and posts.

The followers of the Slow Dancing singer-songwriter are thus outraged at HYBE for what they perceive to be alleged indifference to the artist's protection and equity when it comes to his marketing endeavours. This also stemmed from the incidents in October 2023, when the Layover singer-songwriter was reportedly stalked by a lady in his residence elevators and later received death threats from yet another stalker.

Hence, when the latest episodes of BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star showed Taehyung opening his heart about the circumstances revolving around the group's contract renewal in 2019, fans were moved to tears.They flocked to Twitter and praised the singer for allegedly "sacrificing" his dreams for his members. In addition, several admirers of the singer also called out HYBE for its alleged "mistreatment" towards Taehyung.

Remember, it's never easy to make big decisions, even for famous people like V. We should all just be happy that he did what he thought was right, and ARMY πŸ’œ should continue to support him and BTS on their journey!πŸ’œ
