League of Legends Gamer Hai Lam Under Fire For Negative Tweet About BTS
Professional League of Legends gamer Hai Lam garners hate from ARMYs after he tweeted his opinions about BTS.
Pro League of Legends player Hai Lam recently posted tweets about BTS on Twitter which left BTS fans angry.
At first, fans saw no harm as all Hai posted was that he was listening to BTS and Jay Park because he couldn’t sleep. He even praised both artists’ music, admitting that while he didn’t like them as much as American rapper Kendrick Lamar, he felt that they were “not bad.”
Can't sleep so listening to some kpop, starting with BTS and Jay Park, not bad so far… No Kendrick but not bad

However, fans began getting angry once Hai Lam tweeted his second post. A couple of minutes after his first post, he tweeted about his opinions on BTS. Seemingly out of nowhere, Hai Lam changed his mind and simply tweeted “Jk BTS sucks.”

ARMYs began starting a war in the thread section by bashing Hai Lam for criticizing the group for no reason. While some fans were posting hate comments, others supported Hai Lam by refuting them.
before saying BTS sucks, compare yourself to them

He then followed up with another tweet a couple of hours later after his post garnered attention, showing that he didn’t care for the hate comments.

He later tweeted about the hate comments, calling BTS fans “filthy peasants.”
