Is it necessary to endure 'superstar'?
While a map of a village in Busan, which was labeled BTS Jungkook's grandmother's house, was controversial, it was found that it was conducted without the consent of BTS Jungkook, BTS and residents.
The criticism of the villagers led to the originality of the netizens and fans. They raised their voices about Lee Yong, revealing where their relatives lived without discussion because they were celebrities.
"The local government finds out the address of the foreigner and it is a tourism industry? Human rights violation." "Is not it illegal without BTS's permission?" "The biggest victims are BTS and their families. "What are you doing without any consent from the local government?" "It seems that the aunt of the aunt is too violent." "It seems too violent. What are the people around you guilty of?” “What is it that you want to use your family’s family’s family’s home as a tourism business?” “Is it a shame to be Lee Yong in the first place?” “Is it a shame to be Lee Yong in the first place, even if I have been given permission from family members?”
According to the Busan Ilbo, the Busan Yeonje District Comprehensive Social Welfare Center issued a map of the village in 2021 with the Yeonje District Community Security Council. In the center of the map, a place marked "The House (now the public house) where BTS Jungkook's maternal grandmother lived" is seen. The controversial place is classified as a tourist facility in the village. There are currently no residents in the public housing.
According to the media, the village map maker claimed that it was intended to revitalize tourism. “When we created the village map, we had a view that we should put not only simple information but also interesting elements into it, and we put places related to singers,” the welfare center said. “We thought the village would be richer in sight.” However, this was implemented without the discussion and consent of BTS Jungkook and BTS and villagers.
The residents complained of the inconvenience and criticized it as a violation of privacy. Most of them responded that they were uncomfortable. “Young people come and ask where they are,” one citizen said in the media, adding, “It is an excuse for the local residents to mark a residential area as a famous singer’s outskirts on the village map.”
Citizens also criticized the public for disclosing the place where their relatives lived without prior consent because they were celebrities. “It feels good to have a trace of a singer near where we live from a standpoint of supporting BTS, but it is inconvenient for everyone to visit a residential area where people are gathered and relatives live without consent,” one citizen said in the media.
