Over the past few days, female artist dalgorang_, a familiar name within the ARMY community, has become the center of attention after receiving a direct response from Jungkook. After she shared a fan art piece recreating memorable moments of the idol at the MetLife concert along with a heartfelt message, Jungkook left a warm comment: “We’re the ones who should be thanking you.” The interaction prompted even more people to become curious about dalgorang and learn more about her.
However, alongside the positive attention came an unwanted wave of controversy. A group of solo fans began flooding dalgorang’s comment section with attacks, accusing her of favoring one member over another. Jungkook himself was also dragged into the criticism over his interactions with the artist’s posts. Some people criticized Jungkook for interacting with content related to one member instead of another, despite the fact that he has reposted and liked many different posts over the years.
The comment sections under dalgorang’s posts were flooded with inappropriate remarks aimed not only at her but also at Jungkook. Faced with the situation, dalgorang eventually had to speak out through a statement addressed to ARMYs, while also disabling comments to limit the visibility of harmful content targeting the idols.
In her post, she emphasized: “I have never interfered with your personal fan activities. I also want to be respected. Please stop causing discomfort to me and my loved ones directly through comments, revealing private personal tastes regarding the BTS members I love, or rudely crossing the line.” She also pointed out: “If you do not like this attitude of mine, I recommend unfollowing, as the decision to accept it is up to you.”
One fan sarcastically described the situation: “He literally reposted all the members, but your sensitivity and sense of threat towards the smallest detail become disastrous.” Meanwhile, amid the chaos caused by solo stans, a “warning” previously given by V has suddenly resurfaced!
Specifically, during an exclusive interview with Bloomberg when BTS released their album ARIRANG, marking the group’s return after four years without full-group activities, the interviewer asked: “Did the success of any of your solo work make you guys reconsider coming back? Did you think, okay, now I’m just going to go be a solo act?” Without hesitation, V responded with his signature bold candor, saying: “If anyone was that shameless, I would нιт them.”
And now, the “punch” V once promised has been sent straight to solo stans — those who are trying to impose their negative fantasies onto the members and turn them against one another in a pointless competition. One angry fan commented: "V literally spelled it out for them, and they still don’t get it? Are they pretending to be deaf and blind? I wish I could punch every single one of these solo stans, just like V said. Don’t let me catch you, or you’ll find out what I’m capable of. Now shut up. If you don’t like dalgorang, just unfollow her".
Others also chimed in: "His words always нιт hard, on point. Fck u solo stans", "OT7 is forever and this just proves it", "They're the ¢αи¢єя of this fandom ffs another one who got harαѕѕed because of their illness and look", "V literally said it himself. How are they still not getting it?", "Why are they turning every little thing into a fan war?", "No matter what solo fans do, BTS will always be 7, and they’ve already made that clear. Do you understand?",...
Meanwhile, V is not the only member who has expressed his stance on this issue. The BTS members have repeatedly made their position clear regarding the group and their individual activities. Jin emphasized: “The issue isn’t whether a solo album or a group album is more successful. We simply prefer promoting as a group.” Meanwhile, SUGA explained that the members mainly pursued individual activities because they were unable to work together as a full group at the time. The BTS members have also unanimously stated: “We value the team more than each individual. We debuted as a group, and that is our identity.”
There is one truth that no one can change: BTS has always been OT7, and they are a family. Accordingly, for genuine ARMYs, there is only one thing to do — support the success of all seven members of BTS!
