Tensions between fandoms are rising as TXT begins teasing their upcoming comeback, with some BTS fans not happy about it.

After first unveiling a video concept teaser during their concert, TXT officially kicked off promotions on social media with image teasers for their April release.
For their fans, the rollout was exciting, especially since this marks the group’s first comeback after renewing their contracts.

However, some BTS fans quickly expressed frustration over the timing. With BTS set to release their new album ARIRANG on March 20, many expected teaser content to drop soon. With less than three weeks left until the album’s release, the lack of visible promotions has made parts of the fandom anxious.

Some fans took their complaints to TXT’s teaser posts shared by BigHit Music’s official X account, questioning why TXT’s April comeback appears to be rolling out earlier than BTS’s March album.
Why they have pics out when they comeback is in April and BTS’ comeback is in March and we still have nothing??? https://t.co/4eT7t8M1kT

This behavior has sparked backlash. Many fans called for respect, pointing out that TXT is also under BigHit Music and deserves proper promotion. Others criticized the negativity, saying TXT should not be dragged into frustration over another group’s schedule.
For that fandom. Your artist is NOT the only artist under BIGHIT. TXT has the same right to be promoted. Especially since this is their first comeback after renewing their contract. If you have something to complain about, complain somewhere else and stop acting like kids https://t.co/hAljCL2eON pic.twitter.com/MWyTPN7DY6

now why are armys complaining under another group’s post please take it somewhere else
1. this is their first comeback after renewing their contract, so it’s really meaningful to us.
2. this isn’t even the concept photo, it’s just the album announcement. no need to be shady… https://t.co/InrtbJ9OJP
