Some mistakes are small. Like forgetting your umbrella on a rainy day. And then there are mistakes so massive, so unthinkable, that the entire internet collectively screams. HYBE just made the second kind. In their shiny new Movie Weeks 16 epilogue video, they somehow decided to showcase only six members of BTS—completely leaving out Jimin. Yes, Jimin. The voice of angelic high notes. The man who has broken more records than HYBE has press releases. That Jimin. Gone.
Of course, ARMY wasted no time noticing. The comments weren’t just “Where is Jimin?” They were battle cries. Hashtags like “BTS is 7” surged to the top of worldwide trends faster than HYBE could refresh their notifications. The message was loud, clear, and unforgiving: BTS is not six. It has never been six. And if anyone dares to suggest otherwise, ARMY will shut it down in record time.
Now, some might try to spin this as an editing mishap. But how do you just “forget” one of the most recognizable members of the world’s biggest group in a video designed to celebrate them? Especially during the emotional ending of Young Forever? The symbolism of that moment was supposed to be about unity and legacy. Instead, it turned into a PR disaster.
Fans felt it like a personal betrayal. After all, Jimin isn’t just part of the group—he’s an essential piece of its soul. His artistry, his charisma, his way of connecting with fans—none of that is optional. Remove him from a frame, and you don’t just lose a member, you lose the balance that makes BTS what it is.
Predictably, HYBE scrambled to issue an apology once the backlash exploded. But by then, it was too late. ARMY had already declared war, receipts were archived, screenshots shared, and the narrative locked in: this wasn’t just a slip-up, it was disrespect. And ARMY doesn’t let disrespect slide.
Here’s the reality check: BTS’s story is carved in stone, and it reads “seven.” No company, no edit, no careless oversight can rewrite that truth. Fans have spent over a decade proving their devotion to all members equally, and that loyalty doesn’t fade when someone forgets to press the right button in the editing room.
If HYBE thought this would blow over, they’re in for a rude awakening. ARMY has long memories, sharper eyes, and the power to make any mistake trend worldwide. The verdict is simple and eternal: BTS is seven, not six. Not now, not ever.
So maybe next time, HYBE should invest less in flashy corporate campaigns and more in double-checking their videos. Because one thing is certain—ARMY will never allow a single member, especially Jimin, to be erased. Seven means seven. Always.
