I think most of us have always known that solo fans are basically people who have decided to view things a certain way, usually where their bias has great potential but their company absolutely hates them (because their bias is so amazing, and they won’t let go of that idea.
With the recent notice of the change of CEO of Bighit, and the new CEO being someone who has fought for keeping Jimin on the team predebut, I have been seeing a lot of JK and V solo fans tweeting about how their fave is going to be even less supported. This in itself is ridiculous. I haven’t been particularly active in the fandom for a couple of months and do not know the entire details of what all has happened, but some solo fans also like to claim that V wasn’t promoted as much, which in my opinion is ridiculous. Just yesterday, I found out FRI(END)S reaction videos and spent almost half an hour watching all 3 of them because they were fun, and then I tried to find the same for WHO but there wasn’t one (or atleast I couldn’t find them), which made me realise that this is just because all of them have used different methods of promotion. I mentioned this in the bangtan sub as well yesterday, where I said that I definitely think that we will see him in some acting roles in the future, just based on some of the projects he has been a part of, but that’s not the point of this discussion.
The main reason I made this post was because I saw a fan who had proof of the mistreatment. For the release of Never Let Go by JK, which if I remember correctly was a song for BTS debut anniversary, and Winter Ahead by V, the weverse notice asked for support for BTS, while for Be Mine (English Version) and Falling (feat. Taka) asked for support for Jimin and Jin respectively and their solo albums. Now, solo fans have proof of biasness from the company which made me wonder why this is so. The only thing I could think of was that for Jimin and Jin, the songs were a part of their solo album, but that isn’t the case for JK and V. And voila, for Super Tuna, it had the same message of supporting BTS, for the release of Standing Next To You (Usher Remix) it had the message of supporting JK and his solo endeavours.
So, yeah, I found it funny and frustrating that once again I came to the realisation that solo fans are stupid and will distort facts to support their belief, and how more gullible people will fall for this.
Hence, I request you all to come up with your own examples of similar situations because I am bored.
