“All he did was share a song“ — Netizens slam fandoms for allegedly spreading demeaning comments over BTS’ Taehyung supporting BLACKPINK’s Rosé

On January 19, 2025, BTS member Kim Taehyung, known professionally as V, shared a series of songs from his Spotify playlist on his Instagram story. Among these tracks was Stay a Little Longer, a ballad from BLACKPINK's Rosé's solo debut album, Rosie.

This gesture of support between two prominent K-pop idols was met with mixed reactions online. While many fans celebrated the display of camaraderie, some factions within the BTS and BLACKPINK fandoms, known as ARMY and BLINKs respectively, expressed discontent.

Certain individuals criticized Taehyung's post, viewing it as a breach of unspoken boundaries between the two fanbases. This sentiment led to a surge of demeaning comments and fan wars across various social media platforms.

Some alleged Rosé fans even claimed that BTS' Taehyung must have been the ex who broke Rosé's heart, leading to the BLACKPINK singer writing songs about him.

However, a significant portion of netizens condemned these negative reactions, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and support among artists. They argued that such interactions should be normalized and not serve as a catalyst for fan conflicts.

Many praised Taehyung for his openness in sharing the music he appreciates, regardless of the artist's affiliation, and urged fans to adopt a more harmonious approach. One fan wrote:

"Someone tell me what dπugs they're on??? All he did was shared a song"

Netizens expressed disbelief at those fan reactions and jumped to defend the BTS idol.

""I know he's the reason why she wrote solo" I'm sorry did tae break teddy's heart bc he is the one that wrote the song..." a fan wrote.

"These people have to be like 10 there’s no way they’re above the age of 12," another fan said.

"First those nj stans building castles in the air and now this. Not a single normal day in boraworld . Smh," one other fan added.

Others said how some alleged Rosé fans wrote wattpad fanfics for 10-year-olds over Taehyung showing respect to his colleague's latest release.

"THEY WROTE A WHOLE DRAMA WITH THIS IMAGINATION IM CRYING?????" a fan reacted.

"They're probably wattpad reading 10 yr olds," another fan said.

"Even COMBINATION PSYCHOTHERAPY AND ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICATION can't help them!!!!" one other fan added.
