ARMYs who saw BTS webtoon reacted to extremes… “Strange” vs “Fun”

While some evaluated “I don’t know what the heck BTS and webtoons have to do with each other” or “a waste of content”, others did “interesting” at the same time. 

Recently, as the agency HYBE expanded its business with BTS at the fore, the controversy over ‘excessive commercialization’ has not ceased, as fans’ complaints such as ‘expensive pajamas’ and ‘excessive energy consumption in the NFT business’ have erupted one after another. 

Seven members of BTS turned into hunters. Only the names of the protagonists are different, but the characters and overall image are designed with BTS in mind, so you can easily recall the members. 

The problem can be seen in the reaction of the fans. The worldview that BTS has continued so far has nothing to do with it. For this reason, there are also criticisms that BTS was used for simple publicity in HYBE’s business expansion. 

As of 3 pm on the 16th, the prologue had a star rating of 6.99 (out of 10), and episode 1 was only 7.68. Considering the average star rating of the Saturday serialized webtoons, released on the same day, is in the 9-point range, it was a very low score compared to the promotion under the name of BTS.
