Filo fashion blogger Bryanboy slammed for saying 'I don’t know who' BTS is: 'Don’t disrespect'

One fan said, 'The audacity he has. Like they are both amazing people but don’t disrespect our Tae Tae'

Members of BTS have all started working on their solo projects and one member of the biggest boy group in the world who has taken over the internet is BTS' V aka Kim Taehyung. From being the biggest K-pop idol on Instagram or being a social butterfly wherever he goes, V of BTS is now becoming a local sensation. Over the last weekend, BTS' V attended the Paris Fashion Week in France for Celine and attended their SS 2023 Menswear Collection show but the entire journey to the event was trending globally.

From his interactions with Blackpink's Lisa to his sensational outfits, Taehyung has taken over Twitter, and rightfully so. But, fans are not happy with a Filipino fashion blogger named Bryan Grey Yambao, also known as Bryanboy who is trying to make fun of BTS' V by mispronouncing his name in Tagalog to make it sound like 'poop' on purpose.

Flio fashion Blogger infuriates BTS fans

The entire fiasco started with a video Bryanboy posted on Twitter from the PFW Celine event where the blogger can be seen walking towards Blackpink's Lisa who got up from her seat to greet Bryan. The interaction between the blogger and the K-pop idol was fun as the two were catching up after a while. But fans of BTS were quick to notice that the fashion blogger paid no attention to BTS' V. Fans questioned Bryanboy about ignoring BTS' V when the blogger calmly stated that he was unaware of V's identity.

Some fans of Taehyung were shocked as they called the blogger out for not knowing a BTS member while other fans let the incident go feigning it as their ignorance. On Twitter, one fan asked, "How dare you passing by Taehyung and not to scream, Bryan?!" The blogger then responded, "I don’t know who they are so Lisa is the only one I greeted lol."

The issue blew up after Bryanboy made a TikTok video addressing the ordeal and offered a clarification to fans asking about BTS V. In the video posted by the blogger on TikTok, Bryanboy talked about the Celine event and their interaction with Lisa. Bryanboy also explained the reason behind them not greeting BTS V. But it seems like fans are not happy about Bryanboy pronouncing the Korean name of V aka "Tae" as the blogger seems to be purposefully mispronouncing it to make it sound like the word 'poop/shit' in Tagalog. Fans are not happy with the blogger's motives as one of the comments on his post has a fan saying, "You'll get canceled on Twitter," while the blogger responded, "I will be even more famous."

'Sounds like toxic Blink behavior to me'

However, fans of BTS V are claiming that the blogger purposely disrespected Taehyung in order to become more famous as one fan said, "This person was mocking V btw on his tiktok and keep mispronouncing and mocking his name and calls it Ta-e which mean shit/poop in Tagalog." One fan mocked, "Don't worry his level is far different so it's okay you are not important at all." One fan explained, "Comment asked why he skipped V after taking a pic with lisa and he basically said he didnt know tae and kept mispronouncing it as "ta-e" which is filipino for shit/poop."

One fan explained the fury among ARMYs as they said, "It’s ok not to know V or the BTS. He’s filipino he knows what tae(poop) means in tagalog. To say it over and over. That’s disrespectful!" One more fan said, "If you could spare time to report this vile tiktoker who claims to not know Tae but disrespect him by pronouncing his name a different way to mean poop in filipino language. He even claims he will get more popular coz of this." One fan asked, "ho tf this bryanboy aka ninang who disrespect Taehyung's name by mispronouncing it and equate to a filipino word, "tae" which means "p00p". y'all please report them on tiktok."

One more fan said, "The audacity he has. Like they are both amazing people but don’t disrespect our Tae Tae." Another fan said, "I saw this video. Same thing. If he's not into kpop or doesn't know Tae, he could've ignore the comments. But he literally emphasize "Ta-e" to really mock his name. He's a fan of another bg kpop as well. I'm sure he knows who Taehyung is." A filo fan said, "The comments on this video are saying that HE intentionally pronounced Taehyung's name improperly which is kinda obvious. Someone also said that if he doesn't know how to pronounce Taehyung's name, he should just ignored the comment. IM A FILO BUT I AM SO PISSED AND ANNOYED RN."
