KBS Did Both BTS And TXT Dirty With This Misleading In A TV Show

TXT and BTS are both groups under Big Hit Music, and therefore, comparisons for both groups are always present. Although the relationship between BTS and TXT is very good and TXT always has smart answers about whether they are pressured by BTS's success, it seems that the media always wants to take advantage of this. make it difficult for BTS and TXT.

One of the examples above is when KBS used the image of the two groups in a subtle way in The Return of Superman. After that, they were met with a lot of anger from fans of both groups.

Specifically, the story begins with the show The Return of Superman, which has the appearance of the sons of Sam Hammington, William and Bentley. They are known to be avid fans of BTS.

In one episode, William and Bentley were promised a visit to Big Hit Music's headquarters. Knowing that William and Bentley's idols are BTS, many people, including both children, believe that they will meet BTS when they visit Big Hit Music.

After waiting in the public lobby for a while, the show started playing various BTS songs and showed a group of idols approaching the two boys. But instead of BTS, TXT appeared, making both sides feel awkward.

This not only makes William and Bentley seem disappointed that they can't meet their idols as expected, but it also makes TXT appear only as "tour guides". It also makes the boys feel sad because of the fact that they are not what the kids expected when they are also successful idols.

What made it even more awkward was the fact that William and Bentley danced to BTS songs while TXT watched and cheered them on. TXT fans are also outraged that the group is only called "BTS's little brothers," while BTS fans are angry that the show uses the group as bait just to create an awkward situation for TXT.

In addition, Big Hit Music has also faced criticism for being thoughtless and using this as an opportunity to simply brag about building their company. Big Hit Music was not skillful in controlling program content and selecting suitable content for TXT and it made fans uncomfortable with their way of working.

While there are mixed opinions, netizens claim that this behavior has put both BTS and TXT in an awkward situation of dirtying fans of both groups. Not to mention, William and Bentley also because they were so looking forward to a meeting with their favorite "hyungs".

Netizens took to YouTube's online forums and comments section to express their disappointment with the show:

- “I understand the kids since they might not know TXT yet and they went there to see BTS… but I feel like KBS’s captions were so thoughtless. I didn’t expect them to get a lot of screen time, but when the caption said, “And who are you?”, I thought that was so rude. It’s not like TXT came out as doorkeepers.”

- “I feel like if BTS saw this, they would feel embarrassed, too. What kind of editing is that? It pisses me off that they used BTS as bait. I can’t believe it.”

- “It broke my heart when Yeonjun tweeted that it made him happy to see the babies… He probably saw the broadcast.”

- “This isn’t the first time KBS tried to sell BTS’s name.”

- "They only talked about BTS in front of TXT. So humiliating.”

- "Why KBS edited something trash like that"

- "Maybe it looks not negative like what they broadcasted but the problem in the way they edit"

This is not the first time that BTS and TXT have been passively caught in a dilemma like this. But fortunately, their brotherhood has never been devastated by such toxic things!
