It was recently reported that actor Kim Woo Bin bought the old BigHit Entertainment building, which has many memories for BTS fans.
The location holds many special memories for the members of BTS, the staff, and, of course, ARMYs. Even years after the creation of HYBE and the new building, it has become an important monument that fans visit and leave their mark on.

The old BIGHIT building is full of heart warming messages from all armys over the world to BTS 🥹 This is the place where our seven started, before they were called the biggest boyband. So this old building is very important to us.</3 pic.twitter.com/cE2GuVaXdx

While the news was shocking, a lot of angry ARMYs took to social media to share hateful comments about Kim Woo Bin. Some were just negative, and others claimed he was taking something that shouldn’t belong to him, which was heightened by their worries that he would remove all the messages.

While the tweets didn’t gain much attention, there seemed to be a large number of posts against Kim Woo Bin. After netizens saw the negative reactions, both ARMYs and normal K-Drama fans hit back and defended the actor.
In particular, they shared that HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC had the chance to buy the building and that even if people are sad, they shouldn’t aim anger towards Woo Bin or make assumptions about the future of the building.
No Kim Woo Bin slander will be allowed. If they wanted to they could have acquired the building. Yall need to relax https://t.co/HdBq4mzYDL

I saw some disrespectful comments about Kim Woo Bin by BTS Army. I get this building means to you but Woobin is definitely not the one who should be protecting this. BH didn’t buy the building. It’s really disrespectful that you insult Woobin for buying building that’s for sale.

Some of y’all need to shush. If someone is to blame, it’s hybe who could pay $ 12 million into a deadass useless concept app for a debuting group, but couldn’t invest into a building that would pay off.
We don’t know what he’s going to do with it, if he is going to change anything… https://t.co/kwBYfjY2XG— gomooshin⁷ (@taesoothe) June 25, 2024
I know we’re all sad, but let’s be mature enough not to attack the actor 🙂 pic.twitter.com/ulWBEnyGoq
