• Netizens react to angry fans holding truck sign protests outside Pledis Entertainment urging Joshua to leave SEVENTEEN

    Following recent dating rumors, enthusiasts have dispatched a protest vehicle urging Joshua to depart from SEVENTEEN.

    Joshua has found himself entangled in speculation regarding a romantic involvement with an influencer, and it appears that certain followers are dissatisfied with the supposed relationship.

    On August 10th, an online user shared pictures of a protest truck stationed in front of SEVENTEEN's agency, Pledis Entertainment.

    The proclamation on the truck reads, "Joshua, it's time to move on. We oppose dating, lip-syncing, and public displays of affection. A public figure who disregards the efforts of fellow members and the genuine support of fans should not be welcomed in the future!"

    Other supporters express their disillusionment with Joshua's dating rumors, yet they do not desire his departure from the band.

    Additionally, some fans suggest that the protest truck might have been arranged by an international fan, given the manner in which the message is formulated.

    Netizens comments included:

    "Maybe you folks should leave fandom!!!"

    "Joshua's age is 27! I'd like to know how old the so-called fans are who think idols shouldn't date. And is it normal for a 27-year-old, young, good-looking man to have no personal life?"

    "The majority are kids whose parents didn't teach them any manners."

    "Really, this is just a sad thing. They think that just because they are "fans," they can tell a hero what to do with his or her life. How horrible!"

    "Fans who send out such trucks should quit the following. Let Joshua be happy and leave him alone."

    "Pathetic. They're not your boyfriends. They're also not monks. Let them do what they want. They sing, but they're not your pets."

    What are your thoughts?

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
