Billboard Deletes A Tweet About Jungkook After ARMYs' Backlash But The New Edit Even Receives More Criticism

It seems like Billboard's recent actions didn't satisfy fans and also condemned them for their negligence. Most recently, Billboard faced blacklash from ARMYs and netizens after sharing a post about Jungkook.

It would just be a regular post if it didn't include a status line with content that is said to be disrespectful to both Jungkook and Latto. Even when Billboard adjusted their original post, they still failed to please fans and received even more criticism. Currently, Billboard's post is flooded with angry comments from fans below.

Below is a notable situation related to Billboard's status line:

These days, fans are immersed in the new record that Jungkook set on the Billboard chart. He rewrote the record for having the most songs as a K-pop solo artist when he had a total of 5 songs in Billboard's 'Hot 100', equaling PSY. Not only that, 'Seven' has also achieved 1 billion streams in the shortest time (108 days) in the history of Spotify, the world's largest music platform.

With these achievements of Jungkook and his debut solo song, fans should have been very happy but this joy did not last long after Billboard made them feel angry with the tweet " unprofessional". Specifically, Billboard posted a status line on Twitter to congratulate Jungkook on breaking records with his solo career, but its content made fans feel uncomfortable.

The tweet has now been removed from Billboard's page but before that, it was written: "Jungkook broke this mαssive record on Spotify thanks to his Latto collab, "Seven"". What's notable here is that Billboard wrote it as if pointing out his music streaming record was possible because the song “Seven” was a collaboration with Latto.

When the tweet was posted, ARMYs expressed their outrage that Billboard downplayed Jungkook's role in the comments section. The fan's anger was so great that Billboard had to delete the post soon after and replace it with one focusing on Jungkook's achievements without mentioning Latto or the song.

After the new tweet was shared, ARMY shared their reaction to the post, which is now focused on Jungkook, and shared that the account should have respected the idol from the start instead of needing to delete the post because backlash. However, it didn't stop there, some other fans said that while the first tweet was disrespectful, the new tweet was disrespectful and disrespectful to Latto. To many, it was admitted that both tweets were unprofessional.

Even Billboard's new post is currently facing a huge wave of anger from fans:

- Next time do you job right, thanks and stream Seven!

- Let BB go please. New media will get to know Jungkook after Friday and acknowledge his accomplishments sans the group. They will use his name when talking of him to the gp, which is our goal. Just like Norm, everyone will know Jungkook's name. Cheers

- we are such a fandom that even billboards are forced to delete posts out of fear

- But look at the picture they chose…where’s Jungkookie.

- they should think so thoughtly to not do this again they shouldn't mess with BTS and ARMY

- Thanks for correcting! Don't make mistakes with the BTS members anymore, respect Jungkook's work!

- It’s crazy that everyone under here is trying to disregard Latto but didn’t do the same thing for L&R. Respect for both artists shouldn’t be that hard. And shame on @billboard to act like Latto isn’t part of the song as well. Both posts were unprofessional.

- The Asian man who makes you tremble is the same one who makes you recant your mistakes. This is fun

- do you job properly pls! And congratulations Jungkook! Keep shining my baby

- Next time plz be professional

- Billboard, as always, is negligent towards the members of BTS, it's time for you to be more professional. I won't thank you for doing your duty to make the post correctly.

- Like this next time do your job right

- Ft latto at least appreciate her as well. They can't do right even when they receive critism

- They give no respect to both Jungkook and Latto from the beginning
