This whole BTS FR collaboration or whatever you call it was a major scheme to get attendees for their "business presentation."

Before anything else, full disclosure, I took the "PM is the key" bait from someone on FB using my personal account & watched the "presentation."

It all started when this poster went viral on FB & Twitter after the CEOs of FR posted it on their own pages & other FR business pages followed suit.

Of course, naturally, ARMYs like me would react, ask questions, and probe.

I was so confused because:

1. FR used free vectors for their poster. It's an unusual case not to use official photos even for teasers.

2. Majority of the ad materials have a copyright fineprint.

I sent a private message to one of the owners to clarify, to no avail.

I wanted to probe more because I personally hate disinformation especially when it involves BTS & ARMY. Our engagement means a lot to brands, you know that.

So I went to FB and found this public post about the alleged collaboration.

My entire conversation with "SIS" revolved around how to watch, is it true, what to do, how do I get involved, and the rest was it.

We were running around w/ indirect answers from her, up until she sent me a link and mentioned about a "business presentation" and "products."

I continued talking to her, tried to get direct & concrete answers, but I guess since this is the usual "networking scheme" we were just beating around the bush.

I took the 2nd bait, clicked the link and that's how everything unfolded in front of me, loud & clear as day.

We were just circling around how this is a "surprise of Frontrow." What she's telling were obviously a basic script networkers use to bait & engage potential recruits.

8pm came, I joined the group & finally was able to watch the "business presentation.

The FB live of the said "business presentation" lasted for over an hour, and there was no announcement about anything BTS at all. None. Nothing. The live ended abruptly, like a cold drop of a Zoom call.

The following screenshots were from the live I watched in full.

The "business presentation" was just about the following:

1. What they do - help you make an "extra income" by working from home

2. Products they are selling which are mostly skincare & supplements

3. PACKAGES YOU CAN AVAIL TO BECOME A MEMBER

They even showed the "level" system in their organization. And if this doesn't look like a pyramid to you, I don't know anymore.

These were the things I had to endure hearing and watching. But I didn't falter, and finished it to the end because of the "good news."

They went on and on and on about "ways to earn" by becoming a Frontrow member, and even had a resource speaker to provide a "success story."

They kept on mentioning "Korea," "BTS," and even bragged about previous deals with Cha Eun Woo & Momoland.

After the success story of one of their members who kept on emphasizing they're "not networking" or "not a pyramid scam," they proceeded to talk about the apparent "GOOD NEWS" which was not RELATED TO ANYTHING BTS.

After presenting the discounted packages, the streaming ended ABRUPTLY. No closing remarks, nothing.

Right then & there, SIS was calling me! She was inviting me for a "video call" with another FR member. I declined but THEY WERE VERY INSISTENT so they could "explain" further.

Key points from this whole fiasco:

1. They baited ARMYs w/ the poster to spark interest, that eventually lead to "sending a PM." They baited people to join their business presentation to gain new recruits.

2. Until BigHit Music & HYBE confirm it's unacceptable.

3. BTS endorsements ALWAYS come w/ official press releases AFTER a teaser.

4. We're all aware that BH is very strict about branding, portrait rights & trademark.

5. ARMY engagement is social media currency. Be careful all the time.

All that I have shared actually happened tonight, and my friends were witnesses to how traumatic & mentally-draining it was for me. But I couldn't just let it pass. This is blatant cloutchasing.

Will I be sending a report to BigHit? Yes. Should you report, too? It's up to you.

Thank you for lending you time. Read the thread with an open-mind & comprehend it based on facts.
