Fans outraged by BBC's article revision after Woozi denies AI use in Seventeen's music

Fans are once again outraged by the BBC's modification of their controversial article.

As reported, Woozi took to his personal Instagram to refute the BBC's claim that Seventeen has incorporated AI in their music production. The BBC article, released on July 10 and titled 'Will K-pop's AI experiment pay off?', reportedly misconstrued Woozi’s mention of experimenting with AI technology.

The controversial article was then slightly edited, with the following sentence added in the middle: "However, Woozi has since said on Instagram that all of Seventeen's music is 'written and composed by human creators.'"

According to netizens, another revision of the article was simply a removal of a phrase suggesting that Seventeen may have used AI even for their lyrics. No further note about their modifications or redactions was made on the article.

On online forums, Korean netizens are expressing their fury over this gesture, arguing that the BBC has not sufficiently addressed the scope of their claim that Woozi has since refuted. Netizens are commenting that the media outlet may "not be taking seriously" the voice of Woozi, the company, or the fans.

Reactions include:

"Are they being discriminatory?"

"Do they think Korea is that easy?"
"Why do they hate on K-Pop"
"Not even an apology?"
"They should have admitted that there was an error in their report"
"They have always loved reporting on the 'dark sides' of K-pop"

"Maybe they wish it were AI..."
