Indonesian BTS Fans Blamed Over Big Hit Entertainment's Hacking -- But It's All Because Of Misunderstanding

Big Hit Entertainment's website was hacked just a hours days ago and Indonesian fans are being blamed for it. It's probably because of the misunderstanding coming from the real name of the hacker. Although there is still no exact lead to whoever is behind it, it seems like it rooted from an unhappiness due to the success of BTS.


According to Koreaboo, Big Hit Entertainment's website was hacked earlier today, replacing its video with "Knock knock" by TWICE. There is coincidence though, as the TWICE and BTS' newest music videos released on almost the same days and are competing for new records and milestones.


Upon entering the Big Hit Entertainment's website and refreshing it, the site will automatically display a message coming from the hackers, saying "Unknown was here." Apart from that, the page won't load properly and will take the time to load any of its pages. Meanwhile, those who were able to load the page have noticed a message telling "IDCA WAS HERE".


The said messages were displayed int the "Notices" tab of the Big Hit Entertainment's website. Tracing back the website's source code after being hacked would expose a more surprising revelation -- the name of the hacker's name --"Indonesian Cyber Army", the longer term for IDCA.


The hacker may be proud of what he/she/they have done but it causes a huge fiasco over BTS fans which are referred as ARMY. Because of the familiar term used by the hacker, some BTS fans are accusing Indonesian BTS fans about what happened to the website.


This came after TWICE fans have denied the hacking allegations, however, some fans were not convinced. Some of the BTS fans' are even speculating that this is an attack of overly devoted TWICE fans who are obviously desiring for their idols to hit the top spot. However, there is no proof for this as well.
