A whirlwind of controversy is surrounding the global brand Coway, following the conspicuous absence of Jin, a member of the mega-popular South Korean boy band BTS, from a recent advertisement.
The anomaly has triggered an uproar among the band's fanbase, ARMY, raising questions about the rationale behind this decision and the alleged links between Coway and HYBE, the label BTS is signed with.
The Absence that Fanned the Flames
Jin's dedication to his country is unwavering, evidenced by his military service that commenced on December 13, 2022.
this is genuinely upsetting how coway thought it's okay to telecast ot6 ads when BTS is 7. it's very unprofessional of them to not renew the contract with jin before he enlisted.

Stationed in the Gyeonggi Province, a region proximate to the North Korean border, Jin is fulfilling his duties with steadfast resolve.
Expected to return by June 2024, fans eagerly await Jin's completion of his service, hoping for his triumphant return to the world of entertainment.
Amidst these expectations, the incident with Coway only adds to the fans' impatience and fuels their demand for justice for Jin during this significant period of his life.
