K-Pop fans try to get 100 Thieves\u2019 Froste banned after BTS comment Instagram: Froste \/ Flicker: LG, Wikimedia Commons[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]100 Thieves and \u2018The Mob\u2019 member Erind \u2018Froste\u2019 Puka didn\u2019t expect to wake up to some K-Pop fans trying to get him banned from social media over something he said about popular Korean music group \u2018BTS\u2019 \u2014 but that\u2019s exactly what happened the morning of September 21. K-Pop fans are known for being very supportive of their favorite bands, with the BTS \u201cArmy\u201d being one of the most enthusiastic fanbases on the internet. Known for posting fancams of their favorite artists under Twitter threads asking for users to stream their music, it comes as little surprise that some stans are very passionate about their hobby \u2014 so much so, that they will defend their favorite bands to the ends of the earth. Froste, a noted streamer and member of both The Mob and 100 Thieves, poked fun at uber-popular K-Pop group BTS in a Twitter response. \u201cJungleC**k and Jimmy just called me (we\u2019re close like that) and they said they hate all you stans,\u201d he tweeted. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Froste\/status\/1307946668906688513 What seemed like a playful jab to his own followers was something that fans of the band didn\u2019t take lightly. \u201cThey don\u2019t call us army for nothing, we\u2019ll all pull up on that mf,\u201d one supporter replied. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Suga93_armyy\/status\/1307978620514832389?s=20 Even getting the topic \u201cFroste report\u201d to trend across Twitter, some BTS fans attempted to remove his account from the social media platform \u2014 but that\u2019s far from the end of this tale. Froste even appeared to confirm that someone had attempted to hack into his account, seeming to hint that it may have been a member of the \u201cArmy\u201d who was responsible for doing so. That\u2019s not all; some angry stans even emailed one of Froste\u2019s sponsors, G FUEL, asking that he be removed from partnering with the company for \u201cenabling racism and xenophobia on his big platform,\u201d as well as \u201cridiculing the fandom and creating racially charged tweets that mocked and whitewashed the names of the [BTS] band members.\u201d It appears as though this has failed to deter Froste, though \u2013 as he still continued to make fun of what is one of the biggest fanbases on the entire internet, drawing in a ton of backlash as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
