[+232, -63] Yes, that's crossing the line… Even if the artists should repay the fans who have waited for all this with coffee, why add more to the album cost?

[+135, -11] I'm so sick of K-Pop companies trying to squeeze every penny out of K-Pop fans. How many copies of the same album do you actually expect people to buy?????

[+118, -10] If it is a zine event, only zine albums must be entered. Please don't see this as an opportunity to offload additional albums from other members' albums.

[+110, -11] This is so disgusting. So, the person who buys the most albums will be given a chance to hug him. I don't think even a bulletproof person can refuse this. Tsk tsk, fans are just ATMs.

[+28, -4] So, it's not a new album, but an old album. This hug event feels like a plan to stock up on extra albums…

[+16, -3] Hive is Hive

[+11, -2] All of this just to give you a hug hahaha.

[+6, -1] This is why Hybe is criticized for the way he views the military as just an ATM. I don’t think Seokjin would want this either!!!

[+88, -4] I'm so upset, I think Hive should stop trying to tarnish the image Jin has worked so hard to build!!!!!

[+66, -2] So, what fans were most upset about was that the condition for participating in Hive's hug event was that they had to buy another member's album. It felt like I was using Jin as an opportunity to offload all the extra albums I had!!!!

[+57, -4] Hive needs to fix this problem. The main consumers are young students…

[+46, -2] Hive is blinded by greed and only thinks of ways to use its members like this. If you just open your eyes, you can see what fans truly want.

[+38, -2] Poor Djinn probably designed this cuddle event with the pure intention of Hive polluting the waters.

[+5, -0] This idea came entirely from the dogs of Hybe. Oppa Jin wanted to hold an event to show his gratitude to his fans, but of course Hive had to think of more ways to extract more money from fans every chance he got. poor…

[+4, -0] Hive is so bad at his job. At this point I was starting to think that not a single member of their management team actually had any experience in the entertainment industry.
