In a lengthy post about SEVENTEEN, HYBE and BTS, Vernon’s mother admits that BTS “built the company that was able to buy Pledis [SEVENTEEN’s label]” and claims that HYBE used SEVENTEEN to “offset the inevitable income loss that would occur” once BTS members started their military enlistment.

However, in replying to commenters, she claims that there’s other acts that “might rightfully be considered the act that truly paved the way.” She credits both YG Entertainment group BIGBANG and viral sensation PSY. However, she later edited the comment, as shown below.

The BTS fandom did not take kindly to her remarks. Many are calling the SEVENTEEN star’s parent “bitter” and “a loser” for her public statements.

Furthermore, accusations of Vernon’s mother being a supporter of controversial United States President Donald Trump are making the rounds online based on other Facebook posts on her personal account.

As ARMYs condemn the posts above, SEVENTEEN fans are asking to keep Vernon out of the conversation.
