Taeyang was harassed by ARMY, asked for help in the middle of the night, a force stepped in to clear his name?

Recently, Taeyang was constantly harassed by ARMY on social media due to his statements suspected to be related to BTS. After that, he called for help, and a force jumped in to release evidence to help the male singer clear his name.

According to Lao Dong newspaper, Recently, the fan community of BTS (ARMY) and Big Bang (VIP) had a heated argument on social media, after an interview in early 2025 by Taeyang with CNN.

During the interview, the reporter mentioned that Taeyang and Big Bang "are truly pioneers in making Kpop a global phenomenon." The female reporter asked Taeyang how he feels about seeing Kpop taking the world by storm.

The male idol humbly replied, "It's fortunate that we were able to open the door to the global market for many K-pop groups who came after us, and they were able to perform on world-famous stages. I don't think we were the pioneers in that, but it's great to see that our efforts contributed to that."

However, Taeyang's sharing unexpectedly sparked a fierce debate online. Many ARMY - fans of BTS - believe that BTS is the one who truly "paved the way" for Kpop to reach the international level, with outstanding achievements.

The hashtag "BTS paved the way" quickly spread across social media platforms, accompanied by countless angry comments aimed at Taeyang. Previously, Army had bothered Jennie in a similar way because of her statement of pride in BLACKPINK's success.

While it was thought to be just a fandom war, this noise really caught Taeyang's attention. He seemed to notice the mixed reactions and negative comments on his personal account. Late on January 6, Taeyang posted an Instagram Story, attaching a link to his interview with CNN. The male singer hoped that the audience would watch the full interview to avoid "cutting scenes and words", leading to unnecessary misunderstandings.

Many people consider this a "cry for help" from Taeyang. BIGBANG fans are worried about their idol. In nearly 2 decades of working and maintaining a clean image, Taeyang has never been involved in any serious scandal. Among BIGBANG members, he is always called "the man with the cleanest private life". But in the end, Taeyang was harassed on all platforms just because of a modest statement about his career.

Most recently, Taeyang was "vindicated" when CNN decided to publish the singer's full interview so that the audience could understand more clearly and objectively about Taeyang's sharing.

The singer expressed, "I'm grateful. And in some ways, when BIGBANG was still active in the music industry, we also worked really hard to achieve that achievement. Now looking back, with our efforts and achievements, it's fortunate that we were able to open the door to the global market for many K-pop bands that came after us, and they were able to perform on world stages.

I'm not saying that we showed it, but it's nice to see that our efforts contributed to it. On the other hand, I believe that we were able to receive this level of love thanks to the many senior artists who worked hard before us, senior singers who worked really hard for the K-pop scene before it was widely recognized, who made things possible for us. So it's a very natural thing. I feel very lucky and really grateful for that."

BIGBANG is a "talented but flawed" group with 4/5 members involved in shocking scandals. Taeyang is called "the most normal member of BIGBANG" by netizens because he has a scandal-free personal life and has settled down with his wife Min Hyo Rin and first son.
