Koreaboo
A K-Pop shop is under fire for allegedly shading BTS‘s V.
K-Pop shop Mandu Deco, which is active on social media apps TikTok, Instagram, etc., sells photocard accessories, albums, and more. The shop has become increasingly popular.

Yet, Mandu Deco recently posted a video on TikTok, announcing that they discounted V’s debut solo album Layover to $2 USD in TikTok Shop. Rather than be excited about the bargain, ARMYs were disturbed by the wording. Mandu Deco claimed that V’s album hadn’t been selling, implying they have to discount it to get them sold finally. Many felt this was shading V.
They posted saying “Vs album isn’t selling so i discounted it $2”
meanwhile their original price was more expensive then amazon, walmart and target AND most army do not buy from 3rd party sellers when they don’t have to.
esp in US where 3rd party sales do not count to BB.

This video also allegedly encouraged antis to start dragging V. Despite this, Mandu Deco initially ignored it, leaving negative comments. They responded to concerned ARMYs, claiming that everyone is free to their own opinion.
idk where this hate and shade towards Taehyung has come from but i’m just so sick of it.
he poured his heart and soul into this album and did so many promos.
if you don’t like him or bts? fine but a kpop business with 121k followers on tiktok should behave better.

ARMYs also pointed out contradictions that Mandu Deco had made. Previously, they claimed Layover was highly requested. Now, they’re saying no one is buying it, but they won’t restock if it gets sold out.
oh and they’re STILL being nasty!!!! user claudia called them out for deleting her comments and they think they’re funny.
they’ve also gone thru and deleted a bunch of comments now but still keep up their snarky replies pic.twitter.com/gMYTjRlNEV

Mandu Deco left the controversial video up on TikTok, but they turned off the comment section.
Mandu deco is banned. They have disabled the comments section for now but I will not support a business that allows antis to express their opinions and spread hate. pic.twitter.com/km71D3d3hF

On the other hand, Layover is available to purchase for $22.99 USD from the shop. ARMYs are discouraging everyone not to buy from Mandu Deco now.
