A South Korean trot singer Hong Jin-young is under fire from boy group BTS' fan club "ARMY" for stealing the boys' album title.

Hong released a mini album on March 24, titled "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life" which is the same title as BTS' most recent album. Apparently, this album's title angered some of BTS' fans and the trot singer's album introduction page on various music streaming sites are under organized attack from the BTS' fan club ARMY.

Although artists releasing track titles and album titles which are the same as other artists' are not common, but it is considered as an understandable act as long as the work of art is not pirated or plagiarized.

The organized attacks of leaving aggressive comments on Hong's album introduction pages became a controversy among BTS' fans, and some are blaming immature fans for terrorizing Hong for no special reasons.

Currently, album introduction pages of Hong have become the battlegrounds between the BTS' over-enthusiastic fans and the people who are defending the trot singer.

However, as the comments left by the BTS' fans are getting fierce, Hong is yet to make a comment on this matter.
