  1. A bummer, but glad they cleared up those rumors. I do think the problem is that the producer said or insinuated that the members visited the studio last year, but all of them were in the military. What a very strange thing for the producer to talk about. I wonder if he mixed up Kpop groups? If not, I guess the project got the buzz he was looking for.

  2. Just continues to show we shouldn’t trust announcements not made directly by Bighit or the members

  3. i think i have PTSD from them dropping statements like these for the members’ enlistment ‘cause the way my heart stopped before i translated what the title said and read the english notice.

    but good on them for responding so quickly so that rumours won’t continue spreading.

    We’ve been hit by a smooth criminal…

    Man was excited but the insinuation that they recorded something last year was dangerous. I guess that’s why bighit has to set the record straight.

    Well will they take legal action to MJ’s team who did the interview? What does appropriate measure mean in this anyway

  5. Yeah, I don’t want to say I told you so but I told you so.

    Why do people fall for this shit every time?

  6. Yeah, those reports made absolutely no sense with the timeline they talked about. I was going to wait to see what BH had to say about it. I’m glad they made this announcement, but what was that person thinking, making a big lie like this?

    Well, I hope we now learn to not believe unverified rumours no matter the source…

    it’s good they cleared up the rumors. people were already starting to dogpile on BTS and ARMYs, calling them “embarrassing” legit seconds after MJ’s team clarified there is no tribute happening, AS IF the boys made the rumors themselves?? and why wouldn’t armys be celebrating anything since we haven’t gotten ot7 content in a hot minute?

  9. Daaamn I would’ve loved it, but the timeline was sooo off! I’m glad they cleared it up. How tf was this producer so delulu and not expecting to get caught lol 😆😭

  10. I believe this is a lie cuz they dont wanna do an early announcement. Closer to the album and movie release they will announce BTS x MJ

    I hope Im right

  11. I’m glad we didn’t overreact

    But I’m glad they put out a notice. I guess we will never learn.

    This was important to address
    People had resorted to being downright xenophobic

    Going to be blunt right now, called it.

    I know a few of us were saying that we were cautiously cautious and rightfully so. The article came out of nowhere and as a few of us mentioned, the timeline made no sense. I know a few people said maybe the owner – he’s not the producer – made a mistake, nope.

    I said this elsewhere, I know we get excited about rumours and speculation, but sometimes it really does make sense to wait until Big Hit confirms the news.

    Think of all those people on certain social channels now that are having to backtrack everything they said.

    Why would somebody, in the position of producer, start a lie that would be so easily, and rightfully, proven to be a lie. Like, you pick one of the biggest bands in the world, with one of the hugest fandoms in the world, and you create a lie that’s been proven false. WTF, that dude‘s reputation is now in the shitter. I mean, does he even have approval from Michael Jackson’s estate to create this non-official album, is that also a lie? SMH.

    We rarely see BH address things of this nature so quickly and clearly like this. If it’s happening they’ll say “no comment” or “nothing is confirmed”, and if it’s not true, most of the time they’ll ignore it. I suspect this is being addressed clearly because of the report saying that recordings were done “last year”. That would have been whilst they were in the military and could be potentially problematic.
