Throughout CNN’s New 12 months’s Eve protection, reporter Hanako Montgomery did a success on BIGBANG‘s Taeyang the place she obtained a short interview with the star about his influence and his future actions.
To a traditional particular person, it was a totally innocuous piece that sorta simply gave a fast replace on him from a quasi-fangirl perspective. After all, the Okay-pop fandom is something however regular, and whereas I’ve stayed away from fandom mess protection an increasing number of, I discovered this specific meltdown to be weirdly amusing in how unhinged it’s.

In order that’s the entire interview, apparently.
The interviewer praised his influence, and he mentioned he’s glad to have performed a half (emphasis mine) in opening doorways. That’s simply … true? He even edited her phrases to downplay it most likely trigger he felt the mass of madness constructing at his door.
Properly, you’ll be able to guess which fandom took offense to that, as some BTS followers began spamming Taeyang’s Instagram with “BTS paved the best way” and had been being deranged on Twitter as properly. Thoughts you, he didn’t even say BIGBANG paved the best way or that they paved the best way for BTS, however even IF HE DID, it will simply be saying just like what BTS members have expressed themselves.
SUGA: it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that BIGBANG virtually made BTS

And that doesn’t even imply BTS didn’t take issues even additional for different teams after them, it simply means BTS themselves aren’t shitheads like their followers and simply know the fact of how the business wasn’t constructed as much as that time in a single day, very like BIGBANG and different second technology teams pays tribute to their forerunners.
That is like Okay-Pop 101 stuff, man. I might say followers must get a grip however I’ve lengthy misplaced any hope of fandoms being cheap ever, it’s simply this was such a weird factor to get mad about. Like a two-minute factor on CNN the place he tried to downplay his influence, that’s it.
Okay, I really feel higher, again to the roots of the positioning with this one. Congrats, psychos.
