Not only Kpop fans, but ARMYs also seem to have had many conflicts with HYBE and their superiors recently. This disagreement comes from a series of HYBE scandals related or unrelated to BTS or the company's treatment of the members.

Therefore, although President Bang praised Jungkook at the recent award ceremony, ARMYs did not seem to like it. He even had to face thousands of boos and criticisms about the way HYBE treated Jungkook's solo career.

Here is what President Bang mentioned about Jungkook and the fans' reactions afterwards:

On the 25th of last month, President Bang attended the 'Asia Game Changer Award' ceremony held at Cipriani, New York, USA. The Asia Game Changer Award is presented to individuals who have represented Asia and showcased their content to the world in fields such as journalism, music, film, and comedy.

At the event, HYBE's president was selected as a person who has introduced Asian culture to the world . Although the ceremony took place on the 25th of last month, Chairman Bang's acceptance speech was released on YouTube on the 19th. In his speech, the HYBE president hinted at future collaborations with various cultural spheres.

However, what was notable in the speech for ARMYs was when Bang Si Hyuk mentioned Jungkook. He said in кσяєαn, "The reason K-pop is loved worldwide is not only because it tells stories that people can universally relate to, but also because it combines the appealing strengths of various genres. For example, Jungkook of BTS, whose song 'Seven,' which I heard when I entered, was inspired by the British garage genre and recently collaborated with the popular αмєяι¢αn artist Latto."

For many fans, this may be a compliment to Jungkook and Seven's successes. But for ARMYs, they did not appreciate this praise, and even criticized Bang PD. Some said that Bang Si Hyuk flexed Jungkook’s impact but can’t offer him respect. Others recalled HYBE disrupting the 2024 NFL Super Bowl halftime show schedule, removing his credits on his songs on YouTube, and ignoring the celebration of his huge achievements...

ARMYs left comments after reading Bang PD's speech:

- Stop sabotaging him, give the support he deserves and stop being shameless and useless.

- Oh so he came out from the caves after long time that's good he recognized Jungkook impacts his song seven success but what about start to treat Jungkook well and respect him i mean his song seven achieved so many records but nothing from that company he should thank Jungkook for doing so much favours for that company

- This is one of those moments when I feel like lashing out. They have the audacity to capitalize on Jungkook's song success but stay silent when he achieves milestones until others catch up. Hypocrites!

- Bongo is a shameless hypocrite! After all the awful things he has done, now using Jungkook's name?

- as usual, old-evil shameless pig.

- I can't stand that man. Gives me the ikes. I want the Tannies, especially Tae and Jungkook away from him, as far as possible. Just my opinion. Boraha

- Jungkook ended all your artists that you keep downplaying his records and decided to block out all news and ignored all these biggest records. These scared you ? 

- All the oz*mpic in the world can’t hide his bloated ego. What a narcissist!

- Shameless.hybe and and him should just leave Jungkook alone out of their filthy mouth.after all the things they did to him
