Lee Mujin’s impressive YouTube milestones were wiped out, leaving fans outraged and his agency apologizing for the mishap, calling it "irreversible".

On January 16, Big Planet Made (BPM), Lee Mujin’s agency, released a statement explaining why his YouTube song view counts were reset to zero.

The agency shared, “As part of our new partnership with YGP for content distribution, we transferred the distribution of 31 albums and 109 tracks starting January 1, 2025. "

They added, "However, during this process, YouTube’s Art Track policy required the old tracks registered by the previous distributor to be discontinued and replaced with new ones. This caused the view counts to reset, which is irreversible under YouTube’s policy.”

The news devastated fans, especially since Lee Mujin’s song Episode, released in December 2023, was on the verge of hitting a massive milestone—100 million views.

The track had already amassed 90 million views on YouTube Music and 76 million views on YouTube before the reset.

Frustrated fans protested by staging a truck demonstration outside BPM’s office, demanding accountability for the loss of such valuable achievements.

In response, BPM stated, “We worked closely with YGP and YouTube representatives to address the issue, but we were informed that restoring the view counts is not possible due to YouTube’s internal policies. We deeply regret this situation.”

The agency acknowledged their mistake, admitting, “We apologize for failing to anticipate this issue during the distribution transfer. Both BPM and YGP lacked sufficient preparation, leading to this unfortunate outcome.”

They added, “We sincerely apologize to Lee Mujin and his fans for the loss of these significant records, which took years of effort to build. We are committed to improving our internal systems and ensuring such an incident does not happen again.”

Fans have expressed disappointment online, with many calling for better accountability from the agency to protect Lee Mujin’s hard-earned accomplishments.

As the singer continues to create music, fans are hoping for stronger support and safeguards from BPM to avoid future issues.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
