Taehyung is the most handsome, the most popular, and the icon of kpop…it is fun to vote in these contests but the voting results don’t mean anything in the real world..Taehyung is just the best..look at his transformation in the military…he said he was going to do it and he did it…………. he looks so good!!
За Ким Тэхена
Как может быть иконой к- попа с такой внешностью и при абсолютной лжи и пошлости Пак Чимин. Вор наград – самое правильное прозвище, полученное точно по праву. Позор Кореи.
Позор таким комментаторам
Бируте , вы вообще понимаете, что пишите? Хотелось бы посмотреть на вашу внешность, судя по вашему комментарию,вы злобная страшная особь! И о каком воровстве вы пишите и позорите Корею! За вашу клевету вас нужно привлечь к ответственности! У вас нет совести и морали!!! Фуууу
I am one of the V’s solo stans but I love and adore all the 7 guys in BTS. Jimin is an absolute beautiful and talented artist and this kind of hateful comments are a disgrace… I do not agree with nobody attacking any of the other guys even if we have our own bias. Please respect Jimin he deserves all the love he receives from us Army. At the end of the day this kind of polls are just a game, the guys love and respect each other and that is what matters. LOVE BTS
Now you’re saying that
A DISGRACE
TALK TO YOUR OWN FANDOM
YOU ARE A DISGRACE!
YOUR JEALOUSY IS EATING YOU UP
What for after you attack JIMIN
You suddenly posted this.
WOWWW
We already know your true color being a part of your own kind of toxic group
ALWAYS HATING JIMIN
Enough of us letting you hurt our JIMIN
I will join the protective FORCE of JM
A hoard of us are already active in contradicting your hateful stans of our CAPTIVATING, MESMERIZING and AMAZINGLY SUCCESSFUL ANGEL even in his absence due to military obligations that he also aced in that regard
REALLY IMPRESSIVE INDIVIDUAL
WE ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE PROUD OF HIM
THAT JUSTIFIES ALL THE JEALOUSLY your fandom developed
COZ HE HAS EVERYTHING YOUR v stan REALLY WANTED for your v
NOBODY IN JM FANDOM wants you to be on our SIDE
NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU ON SUPPORTING v
INDULGE YOURSELVES on celebrating v
WE ALREADY DID THAT A THOUSANDTH TIMES WITH THE WHOLE WORLD JOINING US!!!
ACTUALLY THE WHOLE WORLD STARTED IT, WE OR MAYBE I JUST JOINED THE CELEBRATION LATE IN THE GAME.
А вы по левым ФФ судите?! Вы официальные каналы смотрите. Меньше заблуждений будет.
Чимин, наверное, украл все награды мира. У него их не счесть. Читайте достоверную инфу, а не фейки. Чимин лучший из лучших. Красавец, добрый, нежный, любящий, Богом поцелованный парень. Талантлив во всём. А вот как недотепа, неуклюжий, неочемный и подленький Тихушник Тэ может быть иконой, это большой вопрос.
Невозможно купить все награды мира????Чимин талант от Бога. И трудяга невероятный. Тэ бесталанный и лентяй. Что у него кроме его красоты, и то сомнительной. Танцует посредственно, альбом ему купили. А, правда фоткаться умеет. За год до армии только и успел, что фотобук создать. Ребята в это время впахивали и концерты организовывали.
Vamos equipo Tae… No se desanimen sigan votando que esto no se acaba sino hasta el 28th, asi que a darle con todo por nuestro V
И что будет?! ????????????Он лучше танцевать начнет? Или боковое колесо без рук сможет сделать!? ????Как дети ей богу! Вот вы и есть боты, которые искусственно накручиваете голоса.
What happen to you I saw every v comment you replay very disrespectful get out of here don’t interfer v is great for us I purple you v I love you
I vote for Kim Taehyung! ????✌️❤️
please vote v guys he is the only idol who did not collaborate any idols and celebrities and show his true essence of music like jazz and r&b and v love you your winter ahed is like a movie fantastic directing
Jimin stans are unreal. He is not an icon & never will be. He has no discernable creativity outside of his dancing. An icon transcends their initial notoriety. It isn’t about how much a mainstream artist (like Jimin & several others on this list) makes or how many cookie cutter albums they sell. The kpop popularity contest was a different poll. You all won that. Step aside for those that deserve this label. (I know you won’t – you all are allergic to facts anyway – even objective, verifiable ones)
I am fine with V being in the running but the neck n neck running should include G-DRAGON not Jimin. I say this knowing that the rabid Jimin stans will attack me. They are the absolute worst – although the bunnies (as of late) are giving them a run for the money.
With the way you laid out your narrative is incredibly toxic.
YOU ARE THE RABID v stan
You are the ABSOLUTE WORST!
TAKE THAT NASTY PERSON.
WE DO NOT ATTACK LIKE YOU
WE ARE NOT HATERS.
WE POST FACTS!!!
And THAT IS NOT HATE
Like you v stans
As you attack JIMIN, it is already revealed your stan.
You are hiding in disguise of appreciating somebody else even though you’re shouting your hatred of JIMIN just like anyone we know.
You’re one of those DENIERS of the actual recognition of JIMIN from WORLDWIDE CRITICS supported by the magnitude of sales of his magnificent works.
Your statement that his creativity only tantamount to his DANCING, appreciate your ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE BEYOND THAT.
HIS VOICE and COMPOSITION SKILLS in MUSIC EXCEEDED the ENTIRE NORMALCY OF K-POP as witnessed by the World especially here in the US and extending to EUROPE and ASIA.
Where in any PLATFORM does v getting appreciated and recognized?
The way you articulate your claim that v is more deserving than JIMIN to compete neck to neck with somebody is so lame and supported by false information.
THAT IS A CRY OF DESPERATION!!!
JIMIN most relevant and RELIABLE competition should be JK or G-Dragon
SCRATCH your v from this competition
HE DID NOT EARN ANY OF THE RECOGNITIONS and ACHIEVEMENTS that an ICON should possess…
YOU CAN RANT HOWEVER YOU WANT
IT DOES NOT ERASE THE FACT THAT JIMIN is THE RECOGNIZED ICON in any PLATFORMS CREATED BY EXPERTS AND CRITICS
YOU CANNOT DISCREDIT THAT
BECAUSE IT IS A UNIVERSAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT
NOT FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU HATERS
THE BIGGEST FANBASE OF ARMY and FANS LIKE US ARE CONTRADICTING YOUR FALSE CLAIMS
YOU MUST BE AT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR ANGER and FRUSTRATION THAT WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR your bias were ALL GIVEN TO JIMIN
JIMIN IS HAILED AS THE KING OF KPOP
As if you don’t have the CONCEPT of the recognition as an ICON is
IT IS ALL ABOUT VALIDATION OF UNDISPUTED and HIGHEST TITLE GIVEN TO SOMEBODY WHO PROVES “SUCCESS” as it translates to SALES and UNDENIABLE COMPLIMENTS and UNPRECEDENTED CHART TOPPER/PERFORMER.
you must be in the abyss of your emotions as JIMIN crashed you and people like you with his IMPRESSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
KARMA!
AGAIN HOPE THIS RESPONSE TO YOUR HATEFUL COMMENTS WILL BE POSTED.
ARMY and US will ALWAYS BE HERE FOR JIMIN!
BRING YOUR HATEFUL COMMENTS SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE ALWAYS LIVE IN SUCH A ROTTEN PLACE.
you are not even afraid of KARMA that you were already slapped with JIMIN’s kindness translated into UNDENIABLE and EXCEPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS!
wow you really vomited hatred trying to convey your words of kindness, that is a first I heard. I am one of the MANY V’s solo stans although I love Jimin and the other 6 guys but showing how you love one person, diminishing or discrediting the other is just low…. Go higher next time.. Borahae
Really?
OHH YOU LOVE JIMIN?
SO AGAIN WHY DON’T YOU APPEAL TO YOUR FANDOM NOT TO HATE JIMIN
THAT IS THE WISE ACT OF KINDNESS YOU CAN DO
I am not pretentious like you.
Never diminishing nor discrediting the other 5 MEMBERS
I LOVE THEM
BECAUSE THEY OR THEIR FANS NEVER ATTACK JIMIN
UNLIKE the v stans
IT IS BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY
THAT IS WHY v fandom HATE JIMIN TOO MUCH
DO YOU WANT US TO JUST SWALLOW EVERYTHING your fandom did to JIMIN
WE ARE ENGAGING IN A DEFENSIVE MOVEMENT right now
GONE ARE THOSE DAYS THAT THE JM FANDOM WILL JUST STAY QUIET
WE ARE FIGHTING WITH INTEGRITY BY PUTTING FACTS OUT THERE
BUT WITH your limited understanding
YOU INTERPRET IT AS HATE
Pretending to be an all OT 7
WHERE IN FACT YOU DID NOT EVEN COMPLAIN WHEN JK wasn’t one of the NOMINEES.
HE IS THE MOST QUALIFIED AND DESERVING OVER your v.
Oh you got your match!
Thank you Fanguest for exposing the hypocrisy and hatred of the v fans
Cadita, вы сами то поняли,что написали? Чимин уже мировая звезда ????, гений музыки и танца 21 века. Его любят и уважают во всём мире, за исключением вот таких хейтэров,как вы! Успокойся и живи мирно, а то всё своей ядовитой слюной забрызгала ????
Get well soon loool
А вы, поклонники VI даже сами не понимая, отталкиваете от своего кумира. Из-за вас, фанаты Чимина ненавидят Тэхёна. А ведь Чимин и Тэхён друзья.
Чимин❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
