ARMYs Express Disappointment Over Fans Selling j-hope Gifts At High Prices

On Tuesday, June 17, j-hope was at CJ ENM Studio in Paju for a pre-recording of his latest performance, Killin' It Girl , for M Countdown. This was his rare return to the music show as a solo artist. j-hope himself also confirmed that promoting his new song on music shows was “a choice made solely for ARMY” in his SNS post.

At the same time, about 1,000 ARMYs gathered at the venue to watch the performance live and show their support for him. It is known that fans were present from around 11am and waited until 4pm to start filming in the hot weather of over 30 degrees in кσяєα.

In response to the fans’ warm affection, j-hope surprised netizens by spending money to rent a large air-conditioned studio and providing free cold drinks and snacks for ARMYs while they waited before the pre-recording began.

Not stopping there, as usual, j-hope also prepared some gifts to send to his devoted fans including lunch boxes, desserts, drinks, perfume sets, lipsticks, lip balm, photo cards, etc. These gifts were hand-picked by him and not only had spiritual but also material value.

While fans and netizens praised the idol for his generosity to those who came to support, they were also disappointed to discover that some attendees took the gifts home to…sell them online.

Some social media accounts have been reported to be taking advantage of j-hope’s love and thoughtfulness to make money by selling items from the pre-recording at exorbitant prices. Of course, there were also quite a few people who were unable to attend who bought them.

Previously, when Jungkook promoted “Seven” on music shows, he also gave fans expensive gifts including perfume containing gold flakes. Afterwards, many fans who returned from the pre-recording also sold them at high prices regardless.

Although that incident also led to a lot of criticism, it still continues to this day. continues to happen. The fandom is now criticizing the attendees for taking advantage of j-hope's gifts and sincerity:

- K armys do not deserve BTS at all.. they are not even armys

- I’m not even ѕнσ¢кed anymore. Bc i knew this was gonna happen

- The disrespect….he don’t even finished recording….

- Bigнιт needs to find those people and bann them from entery raffles . YOU DO NOT SELL FREE GIFTS U RECEIVED FROM THE BOYS

- It takes a special kind of a*shole to do this. Top Tier a*shole behavior

- Selling anyone’s sincere gift to you is DISTASTEFUL. Are they even ARMYs at this point

- this happens always and i нιт by the realization that some of you are spoiled ungrateful brats each time

- fans who make precious gifts as business don't deserve his love tbh

- Are you kidding me? It hasn’t been a day yet! This happens with every member and I don’t get it like do pple only go for the gifts???

- He should have put an etiquette book in there, since so many do not know how to behave. Perhaps they should start doing soмєтнing for a charity instead of gifting anyone anything. Or give them a seedling to grow a tree!

- Not surprised but d*mn that pi**es me off
