Jungkook 2019: BTS Star and Group Mates Fought to Wear Bunny Ears, Defied Industry Powers

It would seem that Jungkook and the rest of BTS simply could not stand the policy by Big Hit Entertainment that they were not allowed to wear bunny ears during signing events. Proving that their current influence on the industry is greater than that of the producers, they complained. That complaint led to a revision of policy that is undeniable evidence of the group’s sheer might in the business.

ARMY members went absolutely wild during a recent signing event by BTS where Jungkook and the rest of the group took turns wearing adorable animal accessories, Koreaboo notes. However, the most significant aspect of this particular story has less to do with the actual wearing of the ears and more to do with the policy shift.

There is a reason why K-Pop stars are unable to do certain things during events and even during their personal times. Entertainment companies are simply not in the habit of letting artists do whatever they want that could tarnish their image. In the case of Jungkook and the other BTS members, it became clear that they were not going to put up with such restrictions.

At least, this was the case with the prohibition in wearing animal ears during the signing. The group flexed its muscles a bit and the industry buckled under the weight of that power. It’s fortunate that the matter consisted of a simple act of putting on silly accessories. For now, it would appear that Jungkook and his group mates are content with not shaking the boat too much.

Still, there have been recent signs that the industry is losing its tight grip on its entertainers. Stars openly flaunting their defiance of rules are becoming more common. If Jungkook or any member of BTS chose to, they could certainly push back against some of the most ridiculous rules of K-Pop publishers. They simply choose not to, as of this time.
