This followed an onslaught of hateful and harsh comments against the record breaking, award winning 25-year-old singer/songwriter.
Eventually some considerate BTS fans were ashamed of the behaviour of those accusing Justin Bieber of ‘chasing clout’ fired back.
The BTS fan base had previously attacked him for not giving the group a proper shout out after one of the members promoted ‘YUMMY’.
