On December 31, in theme with BTS's 2026 comeback, BIGHIT MUSIC deleted the entire Instagram feed of the K-pop boy group. However, many fans criticized the same since it was right after the announcement of BTS's Taehyung's upcoming photobook, V TYPE 非. The photobook stands as the second edition of the idol's solo project.
He released his first photobook, Type 1, in July 2024, which captured moments of the idol relaxed and in comfort. Given the impressive reviews that the first photobook left behind, fans were eagerly anticipating the promotions for the second photobook. However, people were disappointed to learn that the group's agency kick-started its promotions for the comeback in the midst of the photobook release.
Many expressed that the agency had deleted the only promotional content released for the photobook in less than a day, leaving fans angered over the alleged sabotage of the idol. People called out BIGHIT MUSIC's alleged mistreatment of Taehyung with his solo promotions and projects, therefore restricting his growth as a solo artist. Therefore, the agency received heavy backlash for the same.
Here are a few fan reactions regarding this issue:
"why did bighit announce taehyung's photobook in the middle of this? You are litreally archiving or deleting posts which arent even a day old? taehyung has put so many thoughts and creativity in it this is so disrespectful !?!??!?" said a fanwhy did bighit announce taehyung's photobook in the middle of this?

SORRY NOT SORRY but i hate this sh*t so much at least wait for one week Taehyung just Published his photo book it was todayyyyy!!! Like why they deleted everything on this day why???!!! Bighit eat sh*ts if anyone will come and said they are preparing for their come back you will
could have delayed the whole schedule to second week of January then? Like i dont have any problem with cb but this is such a salty move
If they had to delete everything then what was the need to release the photobook now . Could've released before new year . What a sh*tty move . Its always taehyung
That was their intention, put up a post for a day, called it promotion, jobs done. That’s how they treat him, always like an afterthought. And seeing kths supporting company and group cb is making me so upset.

taehyung's new reel wasn't even a day old. Could have delayed 非 announcement if they had to archive/delete it in a few hours and days. So unnecessary
hybe/bh never gonna stop being pathetic like they "promoted" taehyung's photobook for a second and then said "yeah i m done", they're never beating TH anti allegations ughhh
