Big Hit Entertainment clarifies it was a staff member - not a sasaeng - seen in recent BTS 'V Live'

AKP STAFF

Big Hit Entertainment has made an official statement in response to concerned fans who thought they saw a sasaeng fan in BTS's recent 'V Live' broadcast.

On February 17, the members of BTS held a special broadcast so that they could countdown and celebrate J-Hope's birthday with their fans. For a quick second, a person can be seen peeking their head through a door behind them and seemingly taking a picture. Several fans concluded they were a fan who broke in and began criticizing Big Hit Entertainment's lax security.

"We have confirmed that the person in question was not a sasaeng fan, but a member of the agency's staff. Outside people could not possibly have entered,"they explained, adding that the agency thoroughly protects their artists.

Meanwhile, BTS wrapped up the final performances of their 'Love Yourself: Japan Edition' tour in Fukuoka on February 16 and 17.

Well, they have spoken so let's leave it at that. Conspiracy theorists will still say bull crap but whatever. With their fame now bighit won't scrimp on security especially while overseas.

Thank god she was a staff and that all of those IG posts and stories about those girls were not true. I couldn't even fully enjoy me and Hoseok's birthday yesterday when I first saw those girls supposedly in BTS' rooms. I admit that I doubted BigHit's security and was enraged that they could not prevent several girls from having access to the floor BTS was on. But now that I know those stories are fake, I'm relieved and don't doubt BigHit's security anymore. I'm glad the boys are completely safe.
