"Tae can be close with BTS members as well as wooga members. Also if someone from bts members would have called tae " immature" you people would have dragged that members while bringing posts saying how smart tae is," a fan commented. "Lmao who you fighting? All I'm gonna say is no hate to wooga sq but if bts members who he calls his brothers, family, people he wants to marry and has been with since he was a child called him "immature maknae" we would be seeing tags and de@ths threats for members flying around," a user added.

Meanwhile, some fans explained that Park Hyung-sik commented affectionately since he is the youngest member.

"Tell me u dont know a f*ck abt wooga members bond without telling, they love and care for eo even more than ur bts members have between them. They treat tae like a baby, they promote his music too, they visited him before going to military and after his discharge too," a user said. "Youngest maknae = youngest in the family.. spoiled by elders family members but in bts no one gives chance to tae bcz youngest spoiled kid is jk. In elders love language you can call immature, brat, naughty etc but in group competition jealous comes first before adorable love," a netizen stated. "Guys, with you, my walls are down” that’s what Taehyung told his closest friends. Let’s not forget, when he celebrated his military discharge at home, it was with the Wooga Squad, the ones he’s truly close to," a fan wrote
