Recently, a fan on theqoo brought attention to Big Hit Entertainment’s misstep during J-Hope’s Stationhead Listening Party. The fan highlighted an issue where Big Hit promoted another member’s song instead of J-Hope’s during the event’s initial hours. Despite J-Hope’s Listening Party commencing at 9, the company failed to provide a link to purchase his title song “Neuron,” instead directing fans to a different track.

Following fan outcry, Big Hit rectified the error an hour later. However, frustrations mounted as fans pointed out additional mishaps, including the unavailability of single CDs for purchase until the 20th, impacting Billboard Hot 100 album sales.

The company initially announced the wrong date for the event, correcting it only after nine hours and issuing apologies primarily in English, omitting Korean apologies for the oversight.

In light of these errors, netizens voiced their dissatisfaction with Big Hit’s handling of BTS-related events. Some questioned whether the company’s actions reflected an anti-fan sentiment towards the group, urging for improved professionalism and accountability. Comparisons were drawn to other HYBE Entertainment groups, with fans highlighting the recurrent nature of such mishaps specific to BTS-related activities.

The discontent extended to concerns about the competency of BTS’s management team, with calls for staff changes and greater attention to detail. Fans expressed their support for J-Hope, affectionately referred to as “Hobi,” urging the company to prioritize the members’ interests and ensure such mishaps are avoided in the future.

As fans continue to demand accountability and professionalism from Big Hit, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of meticulous planning and execution in managing BTS-related activities.
