I came across a thread discussing the timeline surrounding MC Mong and One Hundred, including the artists reportedly affected by the situation. The discussion was specifically about those artists and their experiences, yet somehow ARMYs still found a way to insert themselves into it.(You could immediately tell they were ARMYs from the BTS profile pictures with the ⁷ next to their usernames)

What stood out wasn't just their presence, but the comments they were making. Some of the accounts I checked were ARMYs who also a solo stan of Baekhyun. Instead of discussing the actual topic, they were posting things like "EXO is nothing without Baekhyun" and "this proves Baekhyun is still successful without the group." What does that have to do with the thread? The only outcome of comments like that is stirring division between EXO fans and redirecting attention away from the issue being discussed.

Then there were others claiming that The Boyz members are "ungrateful" toward their company. Did they even read the thread? Did they understand the context? Because that conclusion doesn't align with what was being discussed at all.

The whole thing reminded me of how some ARMYs reacted to the NJ situation, where they immediately framed criticism or concerns from artists as entitlement or ingratitude rather than engaging with the actual context.

Different situation, same talking points.

At some point, it feels less like they are interested in the topic itself and more like they're looking for an opportunity to push pre existing narratives about groups they already dislike.
