PANN : EXO FANS (EXO-L) APOLOGIZED TO BTS FANS (ARMY)

Hello. This is EXO fantalk. We decided to write this post because we wanted to apologize regarding the plagiarism real-time hashtag that trended last May. We would like to sincerely express that we're not writing this post with petty attitude to make you apologize to us by apologizing insincerely. Before we begin explaining, we'd like to apologize for writing this post after 8 months and to BTS and their fandom who would have been wounded by this incident. EXO fantalk board's apology post was delayed for 8 months due to our complacent thought, "Why should EXO fantalk board apologize for the things done by immature fans on Twitter?". However, we confirmed that a post regarding this plagiarism accusation hashtag received 14 and 30 upvotes on EXO fantalk. We're not here to apologize merely because someone posted such post on EXO fantalk board. We have recognized that EXO fans on Twitter or EXO fans on PANN fantalk are all fans of EXO and we want to express how sorry we are to BTS Enter task and the entire BTS fandom who would have been wounded by this incident. We feel terrible because we know that our apology is very late. And we're also sorry for not being able to make the people who took part in this real-time hashtag to apologize personally to all of you. According to the screenshot, a post with the title "Hey, the real-time hashtag on Twitter is f*cking dope" with the screenshot of #표절갑BTS (#finalbossofplagiarismBTS) staying No.1 on Twitter was posted on May 6th 2016 on EXO fantalk. And 30 users upvoted this post and another post asking the users to go tweet the hashtag on Twitter received 14 upvotes. We sincerely apologize and we truly feel bad for not ignoring the trolls, not doing our best to stop this situation and for apologizing only now after months without realizing the proper situation and apologizing on time. And we are truly sorry for accusing BTS for copying EXO and other singers/groups' concept and outfit, accusing them of Sajaegi, harming BTS's image, trending hashtags like "방탄 표절" (BTS plagiarism) on Twitter, mocking BTS by calling them 표절소년단 (Plagiarism Boy Scouts) and other actions like these which caused unerasable wounds to BTS and their fans. EXO fan talk will not tolerate our members from participating in trending hashtags that slander other artists in the future. And if we see any aggressive or slandering posts about other idols/singers and fandoms, we will do our best to stop them and stop the situation from hurting other fans. We sincerely apologize with our head bowed to BTS and BTS's fandom who would have received scars due to this incident. We will be careful again and again to not let anything like this happen in the future. For the last time again, we are truly sorry.
