Real-time angry ARMY fans of U.S. singers who tried to take advantage of BTS' popularity.
The singer, who was hit by a headwind while trying to take advantage of BTS' popularity, is the talk of the town in real time. Alec Benjamin, a singer-ong writer from the U.S., who identified BTS' Jimin as an overseas singer on his music playlist during a V-Lvie broadcast with fans, is the main character of the incident.
The world's attention towards Alec Benjamin was poured out during the broadcast of BTS member Jimin, and later on, Alec Benjamin revealed a video on his official social media showing BTS' FAke love by wearing a black striped T-shirt and playing the piano, proving himself to be a BTS fan as well.
Not only that, but it's already a very famous picture among amys. Jimin, invited to singer Alec Benjamin's concert in Seoul, visited his concert hall in person and took a picture with Alec Benjamin, which spread rapidly around the world at that time and became a huge issue.
Thanks to the photo, Alec Benjamin not only made it to the top of the U.S. Billboard Social Artist chart for the first time in his life. Since then, it has been known that ARMY has benefited from unrivaled firepower.
However, a slip of the tongue that contained the disparaging intention of singer Alec Benjamin drew anger from global amys.
Alex Benjamin reported the news of BTS' Bangbangcon streaming to his social media account earlier, and then Banbang posted a message saying, "Yes, now I should be an actor too when the concert comes.’
In the U.S., bangbangcon bangbang may have different meanings for English speakers due to its English pronunciation. It would have been better if Alec Benjamin was a little wise and asked for action by considering language and cultural differences, but many fans said that crossing the line was rude to BTS and Jimin and was not the right attitude.
Alec Benjamin, who had no explanation since then, quickly deleted the article when BTS fans said they would inform Jimin of BTS, and there is no comment or apology.
