Big Hit Entertainment is under fire due to a smoking staff member.


 


Just a few hours ago, BTS uploaded a 'Bangtan Bomb', a series of short videos the boys casually film for fans to enjoy. This particular one was short and featuredJimin playing with a rubber snake. While the video itself was adorable, fans saw something they were shocked by - a staff member smoking behind Jimin.


 


Smoking inside buildings is illegal in Korea (however, the law applies to public spaces, so an M/V filming set might not count), but the biggest reason for the fans' anger is that she's smoking near singers, whose throat conditions are very important.

Another staff member is also being called into question. During a Bomb back in 2014,V is shown introducing the camera to the rest of the group. However, when he walks into the class, one of the female staff members laughs loudly and can be allegedly heard saying, "It's like he's [mentally] disabled." The problematic Bomb is here, and the comment can be heard at the 0:05 mark.


 


After fans expressed their outrage at the video, the Bomb in question has been deleted.

However, the video has been re-uploaded by many angry fans, who are demanding a response from Big Hit. You can watch the video below:

Looks like Jimin is not bothered by it...I actually don't think it's a big deal lol

He won't lose his voice

Secondhand smoke is terrible and I don't appreciate it at all (I move away if someone is smoking near me). More people need to be aware of how bad it actually is for non smokers, however....BTS is full of grown men....I think they can decide if they're comfortable with people smoking around them, lol....

They are grown ass guys. They can take care of themselves. They don't need fans babying them. And if it turns out that they actually do need to be babied, well they will need to grow up.

She wasnt smoking near him so it wasnt in is face. This actually happens in many kpop groups, managers and staffs usually smokes a lot (they are also under stress 24/7 so it increases their smoking imo) so to me its an overreaction. BTS are grown men and if they are bothered, they will do whats best for them. The second issue however seems more serious.

I didn't realize smoking inside buildings is illegal in Korea. If you go to the staircases of any broadcast company's building, all the ahjusshi's (camera men, PD-nim, and other staff) go there to smoke. It smells awful.
