ARMY demand refunds or other courses of action regarding subpar fanmeet products

ARMY are angry at Big Hit Entertainment.


BTS recently held their 'Bang Bang Con: The Live', and the live concert came with official MD that fans could purchase. One of those items was a power bank. The power bank, which cost around ~30 USD. Many power banks came melted, with one fan even claiming that they were scared to open the package because the power bank was literally melting inside the box.

The quality of the goods has infuriated fans, who commented, "There's no such thing as quality control, right?", "They just see fans as ATMs," "You're really calling yourself a top 4 company in the world, Big Hit?", and more.

Check out photos from the fans below.

BigHit Entertainment is currently getting some flak for sending out cheap low quality products to BTS fans.⁣ ⁣ Recently, BigHit Ent. started to send out the merchandise for the “BangBangCon:The Live” event and among the products was a 30$~ powerbank.⁣ ⁣ Within minutes of unboxing the powerbank,fans said that it started to heat up and started melting;some say theres was damaged before they even touched it !⁣ ⁣ Comments:⁣ ⁣ This company seriously sees us nothing else then customers...⁣ ⁣ Even a 5000won Daiso powerbank is better than this ⁣ ⁣ Seriously?? Did they not inspect it or do quality assurance before sending it out?⁣ ⁣ This is so dangerous..how embarrassing for a huge company..⁣ ⁣ They really are so cheap⁣ ⁣ I also got a melted one..but thankfully got a refund.The company needs to recall these back but I doubt they’ll do that..⁣ ⁣ Photo via comma,purple7_admirer Please give credit when reposting:)⁣ ⁣ #BBClive #bighit #weverse #RM #Namjoon #남준 #BTS  #방탄소년단  #윤기 #Yoongi #SUGA #호비 #Hoseok #제이홉 #JHOPE #Army #BTSARMY #dynamite #boygroup #kpopnews #Jungkook #V #Taehyung #jimin #SeokJin #btsmerch #bangbangcon

I, for one, did not purchase any products from the Bang Bang Con, as I wasn't interested, but I will say. I don't think it's exactly Big Hit's Fault...It is risky to buy anything now a days (not just electronic's) however, where I live here in the u.s. in Las Vegas it's 115 degrees Farenheight 46.1 celcius for those who follow celcius...it is HOT AS HELL...and anything can melt. I'm shocked half the cd's I've purchased don't melt with how hot the boxes are. I think there's a combination of who's at fault, it could be cheaply made, thus the plastic could melt easily but it also depends on how these were stored, were they not stored in a proper place to prevent them from over heating/melting? were they sitting in the sun too long at customs? it's really hard to determine what happened, however I think the damage is clear and everyone who received a defective product should get their money back. That would be the right thing to do here. Those appeared to have come with photocards and I know a ton of people collect those, they could be affected by this as well, plus if someone doesn't inspect it properly or lets say it doesn't show on the outside that it's damaged, and they go to use it, it could cause a fire, it could electrocute someone (not saying it's THAT powerful, just throwing ideas out here). I do believe the company who was responsible for shipping these out should be looked at.
