[instiz] BIGHIT’S STATEMENT ABOUT RM’S SMOKING CONTROVERSY

 

“On the 22nd, the Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun published several photos, reporting, “RM was recently spotted smoking in a non-smoking area while having drinks with acquaintances following BTS’s concert at Tokyo Dome.”

(…)

Big Hit Entertainment’s response to the controversy is also disappointing. When the news first broke, the statement a Big Hit representative gave to iMBC Entertainment was not an apology for the incident, but merely a vague response: “We are aware of the situation, but since the photos were taken by paparazzi, we are requesting that they not be reported on domestically. We are responding with the same stance to all media outlets that have inquired.””

1. Shukan Bunshun: The best response is no response

2. Not responding seems even worse… It just feels like they’re admitting it’s true.

3. Shukan Bunshun is the publication that previously reported that a Japanese female idol meeting her father was like “s***l relationship with a m*n*r” so it doesn’t have a great reputation in Japan either.

4. The photos are literally out, yet you guys are nitpicking about Shukan Bunshun, what the…

5. I guess if they ask them not to publish it, they won’t

6. No but even if he did it overseas, it’s still illegal

7. Huh? But they are releasing controversies about other idols just fine

8. This isn’t what people are curious about though

9. Big Hit is probably having it hard tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ but if only their idols didn’t get into controversies, there would’ve been no issue….

10. They could’ve just written 1 line of apology
