For celebrities, everything around them receives a lot of attention. Even their families and personal lives are devoid of privacy.
Especially, for superstars like BTS, their lives as well as their families are often affected by the public. That's also why BTS members often rarely mention their parents, siblings or reveal family information because they want to protect the private lives of others in their family. .
However, there were some fans who didn't respect the limit for that recently when they revealed pictures of V's parents when they attended SUGA's concert in Seoul. This has angered other ARMYs and criticized those who are invading their privacy:
As fans know, SUGA is holding an encore concert in Seoul these days. And of course, all of them were very happy to attend and watch his concert online. Jungkook's top-notch performances and u̾n̾e̾x̾p̾e̾c̾t̾e̾d ̾ attendance made the concert even better.
Since the concert has a few more days left, fans are also expecting more special attendance by other artists or members of BTS. But one thing that caught fans' attention more at today's concert was that some of the members' parents attended as spectators.
It was specifically Jungkook's parents, SUGA's parents and V's parents who came together to support their sons. All three families were present and were reported to be sitting in the same special area together. This has made ARMYs happy because of the presence of people who are important to the members.
However, that fun seemed to be interrupted when some pictures of the members' parents began to be secretly taken and spread on the internet. The worst case scenario was that the picture of V's parents was taken with their faces uncovered while they were on their way to the stadium to attend the concert. Some other SNS accounts even re-shared these images and also did not cover their faces to protect the identity of V's parents.
After discovering that some people were deliberately taking pictures of his parents, other ARMYs became angry at some fans' disrespect for V's parents. On top of that, V's parents are not celebrities and it's also a crime to take pictures of others and post them on SNS without hiding their faces.
Besides, BTS members have always tried to protect the privacy of their family members' lives. But now, some impolite fans have tried to sabotage their efforts to protect that family.
ARMYs expressed their criticism of those who acted unethically and prevented them from spreading the photos more widely:
- Remember when Taehyung was on his family vacation in Hawaii and appreciated when everyone pretended to not know. Let’s go back to that! His parents aren’t public figures like he is. Respect their privacy especially when Tae himself hasn’t shared photos of them in years.
- Also to the pea sized tkkers stfu and stop with your delusions. Tæ and his parents aren’t your other half of your ships cheerleaders so stop using them to uplift your fav and respect them as individuals
- With the way many of you are behaving it’s evident you don’t see your artists as humans you only see them as props or your new hyper fixation of the week or month. Please leave Taehyung’s parents alone. Why the need to pry into things he hasn’t shared about with you. Respect Taehyung as a human please and stop disrespecting and invading the privacy of his parents. Stop sharing, please.
- You don’t need to be reminded and it’s disrespectful to even have to remind you to respect his parents and not invade their privacy.
- please respect their privacy
- My timeline here is clean and I don't see anything pic on my insta too.. so I'm clueless about the taetae parents picture..
- It's critical to keep in mind that artists are also people, deserving of respect and confidentiality. Let's offer love and understanding to Taehyung and his family. #RespectTaehyung We're sending him all of our love!
- I don't get it, if you like tae, that doesn't automatically give you the right to act however entitled you want. His parents are normal people, not idols. Stop spreading their pics, it's sick and obsessive behaviour. Learn to have boundaries. Have some integrity.
- y'all need to eradicate tkkrs. Not only they r spreading pics but also making up false things about his parents
- They are shameless beings who do not know how to behave in a civilized society. Some lєgαl action should be taken against at least a few so that the rest of the scum may learn a lesson.
Meanwhile, fans also recalled how well when V enjoyed a family vacation in Hawaii, the ARMYs there did a good job of keeping it safe. There hasn't been a single photo of V or his family going viral, no fans have approached his family or asked for autographs, photos, etc.
V also appreciated those actions and expressed gratitude for the respect ARMYs have for him. He used to mention: "Thank you ARMY for pretending not to know and being considerate so that I can travel more comfortably in Hawaii and the airport. Love you".
And now, ARMYs in Seoul need to remember this and stick to it when attending SUGA's concert and in the future. Please remember, do not disturb or invade the privacy of members and their families, if it is not an official event!
