Netizens believe that BTS‘s J-Hope was disrespected during his recent appearance.
On January 23 (local time), J-Hope performed at the 2025 Gala des Pièces Jaunes.
Before the show began, netizens shared that the host of the TikTok live covering the event seemed bias against J-Hope and ARMYs.
The host on the tiktok live is so biased.. She’s supposed to interview fans but went straight to 3 gd fans then went to a bunch of fans without lightsticks and when they screamed jhope left straight to the one with bp lightsticks… She seems pissed when fans claim jhope.

The amount of disrespect they are giving to jhope and armys is insane. They intentionally skip mentioning his name and don’t interview armys with lightstick which is obviously the majority of the crowd??? Are you going to piss me off rn

As the show commenced, netizens shared their anger and examples of how they believed J-Hope was disrespected and the unprofessionalism by the organizers, whether it was mentioning the idol’s name, playing BTS songs, or moments from the hosts. While J-Hope was personally asked to open the show, netizens believe he wasn’t respected throughout the evening.
I don’t speak the french to confirm or judge certain things. So here is a few things that I did witness on the gala and can confirm
– The host didn’t mention Hobi when listing performers in the start
– They got someone on stage “to dance” by playing Standing Next To You. SNTY…— gomooshin⁷ is seeing Hobi (@taesoothe) January 24, 2025
now that its over, can we throw some light on the unprofessionalism? like wdym you didn’t mention the opening act and the act who filled more than 70% of your seats?

– armys who said they were there for jhope the host moved away from them

– interrupted dynamite from playing
– the host stopped armys fom cheering for jhope by interrupting with random ass “ooooh oooh”— jiah⁷(ꪜ) | BTS YEAR (@namcloser) January 23, 2025
It’s a charity event and all but I feel that they are just being disrespectful to jhope at this point

was in a spot where I could see the teleprompter and his name was a 100% not in the screen in the start.
The other artist had louder sound system, light shows, and confetti. I felt their bass in my heart.
BP discography was played in full before the show started.
Dynamite…

now that jhope is done performing can we talk about the blatant disrespect he’s been getting ALL NIGHT. from not being mentioned even if he was the opening act to the interviewer PURPOSELY ignoring the support jhope is getting from the crowd. it’s unprofessional and sickening.
