The BTS Army rides for their favorite artists unlike any other working in popular music today. K-Pop fans in general are deeply devoted to their favorite groups and singers, mobilizing to shut down any of their biggest critics. However, there\u2019s a reason they\u2019ve compared themselves to the military and not just some generic name for a fanbase. So you could imagine their disappointment when two members of the group met and took a picture with Chris Brown. <\/p>\n
During one of the stops on his massive R&B tour with Usher, Brown shared<\/a> a moment with J-Hope and Namjoon of BTS. Given the group\u2019s stylistic influences, it makes sense that they might align with an R&B legend. <\/p>\n However, due to numerous allegations and run-ins with the law, fans were disturbed. They couldn\u2019t envision their favorite artists aligning with someone who has a history of allegations involving domestic violence and sexual assault.<\/p>\n One fan highlighted<\/a> the head of the group, Kim Namjoon, in particular. They expressed their frustrations about how the leader would make such a decision without thinking of their audience. \u201cHonestly I expected better but most of all i\u2019m very disappointed in Namjoon,\u201d they wrote on X. \u201cLike you\u2019re their leader and supposed to set an example. But I\u2019m also not shocked because his words and actions haven\u2019t been matching lately.\u201d<\/p>\n BTS Disappoints Fans Online After Taking Picture with Chris Brown<\/p>\n Additionally, another fan shrugged, arguing that this is why it\u2019s impossible to \u201cseparate art from the artist.\u201d \u201cThis is exactly why disgusting men keep thriving and getting away with crimes,\u201d they tweeted<\/a>. \u201c\u2019I have no moral compass. No ethics. Zero concern for victims. I want to make an atrocious man more rich and void of consequences.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n While BTS fans may be particularly incensed that they\u2019re taking pictures with Chris Brown, the R&B star has bigger visions. He and his manager are eyeballing one of the biggest stages an artist could perform: the Super Bowl. \u201cI think it\u2019s safe to say\u2026 they need me!\u201d Brown exclaimed<\/a> after Bad Bunny\u2019s performance in February 2026.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, his manager Anthony \u201cAnt\u201d Wilson told<\/a> Billboard that it\u2019s an inevitability that he graces the stage. \u201cI also think the Super Bowl would be a great place for him. I believe it will happen,\u201d Wilson shared.<\/p>\n
