The Controversial Strategy BTS Fans Employed to Outsmart HYBE
BTS’s fandom caused quite a stir using Pornhub to share Bon Voyage episodes!
Back in 2016, when HYBE was still BigHit Entertainment, BTS dropped the first season of their travel show Bon Voyage. It featured the members exploring places like Norway, Sweden, and New Zealand. The show was sold on Weverse’s predecessor, VLIVE.
Fans tried to watch without paying by uploading the show on free streaming sites. But those videos kept getting deleted for copyright reasons. So ARMY got creative—and used Pornhub.
Yes, Pornhub, the adult video-sharing platform owned by Aylo.
Fans uploaded full Bon Voyage episodes there, titling them like typical adult videos to dodge detection. The videos were eventually taken down, but the wild tactic still gets talked about years later.

“remember when bighit took down all of the bon voyage content from every single site so an army uploaded them on p*rnhub and fans actually watched it from there until it got removed again ”
