A summary of @/bangtan__india IG Live regarding:

(Please note: The moment I started watching the LIVE, the admin was talking about the expose thread and clarifying the points.)

They clarified how Neel is only an admin of the regional fanbase (Mumbai) and that the @/bangtan__india FB isn't associated with him. They don't work with him. The regional FBes are all individual entities.

The next SS shows how people call e/o oppa and "cringy nicknames", to that the OP claimed that they are kboos. The admin doesn't know about this and also feels that categorisation of people calling others "oppa/ unnie" doesn't make them kboo as sometimes it's used for endearment.

The expose thread also claimed that the admins of the FB were in some GC which was NSFW. The admin denied this. There was also something in the lines of the FB and regional FBes having a common GC- to that the admin replied yes and that they use it for various projects.

The expose thread claimed that one of the admins was 30+ and NSFW (?). To that the admin replied a strict no and that the team does not have any 30+ members. The admin is a working professional, some are college students while one of them is married.

The expose thread also contained a claim regarding the FB stealing credits of the Assam Donation Drive. The admin commented that this has already been clarified and that we can further contact associated ARMYs about it.

Hey ARMYs who were contacted, is the issue settled?

The expose thread claimed that the FB scammed ARMYs during 2018 for Love Yourself, Tear album. The admin replied that they were in association with a K-pop store and things went wrong, the company went broke. But after that, the FB has never associated themselves w any stores.

Regarding solo FBes, they aren't in association with any of them. And the statement that solo FBes shouldn't be encouraged was supported by @/BangtanINDIA (a SS was provided by @/bangtan__india admin)

The admin also claimed that because of similar FB names ARMYs get confused.

The admin and associates are filling a police complaint in the grounds of cyber bullying. They have been collecting evidences, saving SS of threats. They'll probably file a complaint by Monday.

The admin also says that they aren't doing anything for popularity. They have put in a lot of work, yet ARMYs have mass unfollowed the FB. The admin also claims that the owner of the expose thread is the one who's doing it for fame. "Congratulations on hitting 1200 followers".

This is all that I remember. Haven't included any of my personal opinions here, so it is totally unbiased but extremely sorry if anyone feels I have done a mistake. It's an hour long LIVE.

Re NDTV: An admin from @/bangtan__india was shown. They had no clue about @/istxbts. NDTV approached the FB asking them for ONE video of 30s. They were strictly told to not spread this as this is how media households work. We should ask NDTV as to why they approached them.
