ARMYs Disappointed At Big Hit Entertainment For Allegedly Stealing French Fans’ Project Idea
During BTS‘s second day at the Wembley Stadium, the Big Hit Entertainment staff members organized a special event for the boys. Before the concert, they asked ARMYs to sing “Young Forever” before their “Mikrokosmos” stage.
The boys were brought to tears during this event and couldn’t stop expressing their love for the ARMYs. Many fans loved the fan project and loved that they were able to let the boys of BTS feel loved.
Some fans, however, noted how the fan project was originally proposed by French ARMYs.
oh wait apparently the young forever project was supposed to happen in paris and bighit even approved it yet they stole it????? this is so sad im so sorry french armys :(

They had originally planned to do it during BTS’s concert in Paris for their second day. It was approved by Big Hit Entertainment but was done in Wembley instead.
French ARMYs have allegedly been planning this fan project for five months.
paris has been planning this for like 5 months and the uk project was organised in like 5 days

Many fans are upset, claiming that Big Hit copied the project that they had planned for.
french army : okay so let's do a surprise project at bts' concert in paris. let's sing young forever's chorus together.
bighit : damn. did y'all hear that? that sounds like an amazing idea let's just steal it and do it at wembley instead.

While some fans have called out some ARMYs for being petty, but many stood up in defense for them.
the people saying french armys are petty for being angry the project was robbed from them are the same people who either attended last night's concert or won't attend the paris one…at least understand how upsetting this is when it was approved by bighit and made official.

Others forgave Big Hit Entertainment but hoped that they would still carry out the project in Paris for the French ARMYs. The original project was meant to be carried out on their June 8th concert in Paris, and it is unknown if Big Hit will carry out the project then.
I know everyones mad at bighit for messing up and doing it here instead of Paris but maybe they'll be doing something like this every other night with a different song?
