In a surprising turn of events, one of the largest and most influential BTS fan accounts has been decided to close following the recent DUI scandal.
The account, which was an important source of information, updates, and fan content for millions of ARMYs around the world, announced its closure in a final post that left many fans shocked and disappointed.
ARMY52Hz was one of the most comprehensive fan websites, providing various information about music releases and linking the most popular streaming sites. In addition to the social media account, ARMY52Hz also ran a website where fans could browse BTS song playlists using keywords.
Translation: “They tagged each BTS song with keywords and recommended songs that matched the desired keywords.
+ They also had a feature that allowed you to create a playlist in your personal music app based on recommended songs.
+ If someone happens to hear a BTS song and thinks, “Oh, are there more songs like that?”, they can go to the site, search by title, and instantly get recommendations for similar songs.
Some fans have even recommended this site when asked for BTS song recommendations.”
However, after SUGA’s recent DUI incident, the fan page operator left the message: “Everyone is suffering. We ask for a quick decision,” and close all accounts, including the Website.
One Internet user commented: “A major account that had worked with so much dedication posted about the recent SUGA incident, and today both its website and Twitter account were shut down. This situation is inevitably a huge blow to the overall atmosphere of the fandom.“
Other Internet users commented:
“Seeing how things are going, it’s hard for normal people to bear it. It’s time to stop idolizing and live a good life. The deeper you go into the idol fan base, the worse it seems to be…”
“Thank you, ARMY52Hz team.”
“This is what adulthood looks like.”
“The ARMY52Hz team has faced a lot of criticism from fans and has even been accused of being a company-run account, but you have worked so hard. Now leave this scene and get a good rest.”
“The results have been maintained solely by genuine fandom, but when they leave with their mental health destroyed, people say ‘intelligent people leave fandom early’ instead of simply thanking them.”
“The ARMY52Hz team has had to go through a lot and deal with all kinds of online harassment and plagiarism…”
“Thank you for everything during this time.”
“Thank you ARMY52Hz team. You worked so hard ㅠㅠ”
“Other fandoms took inspiration from the work of the ARMY52Hz team and even copied their protocols and sources.”
“Sigh, they must have been really disappointed, that’s a normal reaction.”
“If it were up to me, I would delete the account too. What’s the fuss about releasing it? You should create your own account; they act like it’s their right.”
