Lee Mujin’s impressive YouTube milestones were wiped out, leaving fans outraged and his agency apologizing for the mishap, calling it "irreversible".

On January 16, Big Planet Made (BPM), Lee Mujin’s agency, released a statement explaining why his YouTube song view counts were reset to zero.

The agency shared, “As part of our new partnership with YGP for content distribution, we transferred the distribution of 31 albums and 109 tracks starting January 1, 2025. "

They added, "However, during this process, YouTube’s Art Track policy required the old tracks registered by the previous distributor to be discontinued and replaced with new ones. This caused the view counts to reset, which is irreversible under YouTube’s policy.”

The news devastated fans, especially since Lee Mujin’s song Episode, released in December 2023, was on the verge of hitting a massive milestone—100 million views.

The track had already amassed 90 million views on YouTube Music and 76 million views on YouTube before the reset.

Frustrated fans protested by staging a truck demonstration outside BPM’s office, demanding accountability for the loss of such valuable achievements.

In response, BPM stated, “We worked closely with YGP and YouTube representatives to address the issue, but we were informed that restoring the view counts is not possible due to YouTube’s internal policies. We deeply regret this situation.”

The agency acknowledged their mistake, admitting, “We apologize for failing to anticipate this issue during the distribution transfer. Both BPM and YGP lacked sufficient preparation, leading to this unfortunate outcome.”

They added, “We sincerely apologize to Lee Mujin and his fans for the loss of these significant records, which took years of effort to build. We are committed to improving our internal systems and ensuring such an incident does not happen again.”

Fans have expressed disappointment online, with many calling for better accountability from the agency to protect Lee Mujin’s hard-earned accomplishments.

As the singer continues to create music, fans are hoping for stronger support and safeguards from BPM to avoid future issues.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
