The second single “KISSIN’MY LIPS / Stories” released in October sold 918,000 copies (according to Oricon research) in the first week of its release, and Snow Man is in great shape in the first year of its debut. In an interview with a magazine published in late November, some members made comments related to Korean idol group BTS (Bulletproof Boy Scouts), and BTS fans (commonly known as ARMY) have criticized it.

The beginning is a comment by Ryohei Abe in the January / February 2021 (Condenast Japan) merger issue of “GQ JAPAN”. With the goal of “I want to go out into the world in 2021 both at work and in private,” he said, “I am still studying English and Chinese, and I am motivated that this will eventually lead me to work abroad. I saw the news that BTS was first on the billboard, but I think Snow Man can go that far. First of all, I am ashamed that the Japanese love me and send it anywhere in the world. I want to do my best to make people think that there is no such thing, ”he said enthusiastically.

When BTS fans on Twitter upload photos of this magazine, there is a lot of criticism of Snow Man. “I could forgive if I long for BTS, but I’m upset by the misunderstanding that we can go this far.” “It’s not a language problem, and it’s impossible for them to conquer the world as BTS.” “I really hate being told that BTS has worked hard to take a place like that.” “I don’t think he can be on the same ground as BTS. He’s a tengu.” “If you want to go there, you want to go there. That’s why it’s fine, but when I say ‘I think I can go’, I’m licking the BTS ‘, and so on, the negative reactions continued on the network.

On the other hand, the reaction from Johnny and Snow Man fans who caught the situation was “I’m just saying ‘I want to be at that level’ but I’m too scared.” “I can’t understand how angry I’m saying that BTS is my target. Abe Defending Abe, saying,” Chan is sorry. “Some fans went to the trouble to read Snow Man’s interview and regard it as” proof of anxious existence. “, but” misunderstandings bother me. I’m not interested, “he said.

Regarding Johnny’s and BTS, there was a turbulence in August this year when former NEWS Yuya Tegoshi released the photo essay “AVALANCHE ~ Yukigure ~” (Futabasha).

Tegoshi analyzes that in comparison with groups like BTS, which are active in the world, in the case of J-POP, it “lags behind in the global market”, “If we are members of BTS, English etc. If I had studied the language and I would have set out to expand to the world as a hybrid multinational army, NEWS and Johnny’s office would have been number one in Asia at the time. I think it was on the billboard list in America. “Masu.” network, “BTS are the people who took the initiative with their efforts and skills. They didn’t sell because they can speak English. “That’s why some BTS fans made this statement. Some say,” Don’t you know Tegoshi’s comments made him rude? Did you bother to name BTS? “(A reporter familiar with Johnny)

Abe is a “smart” who graduated from Sophia University and has a rating as a weather forecaster. As a result, some people said, “I thought Abe was a decent person with a high degree of education,” and furthermore, not only BTS fans but also Snow Man antis are eating and beating Abe. Negative impressions are received one after another, saying, “It’s too rude to BTS in the world at the time of Suno”, “this comment is really outlandish” and “too much”.

“Speaking of the Snow Man members, it was reported that leader Teru Iwamoto had been drinking with a younger woman at a love hotel in March, and experienced abstaining from activities for a certain period of time. Daisuke Sakuma was so two years ago. In the year of his debut, he continued to make noise, like digging up accusations that he was wearing an “atomic bomb shirt” in the YouTube video. There is also a note that brings down Snowman. ” (Same as above)

At the very least, BTS and K-POP fans would have gotten a bad impression of Abe and Snow Man. To gain huge popularity, it may be necessary to select words with a little more consideration in each area.
