HYBE, the entertainment company behind BTS, has sparked outrage among fans with their recent guidelines update on the fan interaction platform Weverse. Weverse, known for enabling fans to communicate with idols, has become a platform for fans to share important messages, such as information about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. However, a recent notice on Weverse highlighted guidelines that prohibit posts promoting prejudice against any political stance. This update has led to accusations that HYBE is attempting to silence pro-Palestine supporters on the platform.
The timing of the guideline notice, coinciding with a surge in pro-Palestine messages, has further fueled fans’ frustration. Many fans took to social media to express their discontent with the new rules, with some questioning why certain rules do not apply to others, such as Scooter Braun. Fans have voiced concerns about censorship on Weverse and have criticized HYBE for what they perceive as an attempt to control the conversation.
The announcement has reignited protests against HYBE, with fans demanding the removal of Scooter Braun from the company. Fans have been vocal in their opposition to the new guidelines, emphasizing the importance of free expression and sharing information on platforms like Weverse. The backlash against HYBE underscores the significant role that fan communities play in advocating for causes and raising awareness about global issues.
Overall, HYBE’s announcement on BTS’s Weverse has triggered a wave of anger and disappointment among fans, raising questions about the company’s approach to freedom of expression and community engagement on the platform.
