Olivia's label seems to not trust her abilities enough to promote her using another artist's name.

People in the comments criticising BTS / army need to get their facts straight
1. Armys are not hating on olivia, they’re criticising her label and y’all seem to be coincidentally not seeing all the disgusting racism and death threats sent to BTS. If they’re hating on Olivia they’re clearly trolls
2. BTS have been promoted in the US & West but they’ve never pitted a western artist against themselves for promo - you’d never see BigHit post “BTS, the group competing with Justin bieber for the no.1 spot!!!”
But ig you’ll continue ignoring it to fuel your anti-BTS agenda

I’m really disappointed I was really starting to like Olivia Rodrigo, but of course her label had to do something like this, this hurts my feelings as an army, I’m not blaming Olivia I’m blaming her label/company.

I kinda get why fan might be mad at those kind of promotional moves tbh. I never was a big fans of using another (often bigger) artist name to promote your work. It's kinda rude to be like "hey here's that singer who *beat* BTS. Wanna hear her song that did *better* than a BTS song?"

I would definitely hate it if someone did that with my fav group/singer

[emanuelreyes]

To be fair I would blame Olivias label she’s way more self aware than that

I like how some kpopies are mad and defending olivia and her company by accusing BTS ARMY of mass buying and all when Olivia and her company isn’t using free car washing, free ice cream, spotify promo, BTS name to promote her song 🤭 it shows how they get triggered by BTS name and success which their faves group can never have 😆

Spotify doing the best for her lovely girl to stay at top

For those of you being purposefully obtuse so that you can delude yourself into thinking hating in BTS and army are justified like you always do, her music video advert was titled “BTS랑 경쟁 중인 빌보드 1위 곡” which translates to “Billboard No. 1 song competing with BTS.” This is not the same as the example this video used of Twice as that advert was titled “TWICE “Dance The Night Away” M/V”, not “TWICE song competing with Blackpink/BTS/etc.” And therefore, it’s not the same as the normal ads run for music videos, her label purposely used BTS’ name to promote her song in Korea

I'm sorry but it's one thing to promote and a completely different thing to use bts for clout and then saying how Olivia beat them .. like that ain't it. Hopefully the company realizes their mistake because I know BTS did not work hard for 7 years to just be used by others

[btsaregrammynominees]

It’s obviously mediaplay on her end... I hope people will stop using BTS’s name like this to promote themselves

[Pancakes]

Wow the music industry is scared of bts... and are doing everything they can to make sure that they don't win, so immature 🤦‍♀️

[vaaiapesa]

we are ARMY!!!! We want to make sure that no one uses them to clout their music get that straight. They work so hard for their music
I will forever fight for BTS when they are being used they deserve better

[rakhi__]

I have no problem with her but her company is using BTS

[bangtanie_yoongles]

If Olivia's management thinks they are doing good for her plsss honey this isnt going to work. They are simply trying to mess up with armys and that's anyhow gonna end up their career. Olivia is doing great job with her music I hope she should be more carefull while handling issues

[BTSlover-srcf]

Just debuted in the industry and has begun her cheap ways to attract attention and top charts

[ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

Some of these people need to stop using BTS for publicity and clout 🤨🧐

[franzzee]

lmao, her company probably just did that for PR as one of the countries that don't listen to her is Korea, remember negative attention is still attention and is more attention grabbing, that's a normal PR ngl

[franciscaadusei]

Army keep streaming cos Columbia has stepped up their game about the spotify issue so relaxed n keep streaming we gonna have a good news very soon

[kunjikaagarwal]

She shouldn't be attacked, it's not her personal fault!! But I know how over obsessive some of the fans can be specifically for BTS.. if it is hurting them in any sense target her company not her.. please !!! She's just an 18 yr old making music 😊

[cherryflurp]

armys stop hating on olivia she has nothing to do about it. blame her agency.... yall blaming the artist even though its not her fault
