Update: Dee Kosh accused by BTS fans of removing his own YouTube channel, which has been restored

Dee Kosh is a deejay with Power 98.

He is also a prominent Singaporean YouTuber.

On Oct. 18, he tweeted this.

Unpopular Opinion : BTS’s songs all sound the same. I need something fresh! Come on now....

At a BTS fan's prompting, he also tweeted a video showcasing the purported similarities.

Exhibit A. See? These two BTS songs sound the same..... pic.twitter.com/AdBSKaijbt

For the sake of context, BTS is a Korean boyband that has a lot of fans.

So, Dee Kosh has an opinion, which, in his own words, was an unpopular one.

No drama, no harm.

Drama and harm

Dee Kosh's opinion then set off a firestorm by the Army, who are avid fans of BTS.

Their criticisms mainly consisted of sarcastically listing off songs by BTS that are really different while calling them similar.

Dee Kosh also apparently fell for one of these high level tweets.

See? I’m not alone https://t.co/NRHyAfwBUq

Apparently, one of those songs doesn't have a rap portion.

They also called him out on chasing clout, basically doing it for attention.

All this compelled Dee Kosh to tweet this out.

It did not go down well.

Others even speculated whether all this was a publicity stunt.

With DeeKosh suddenly posting something Bangtan related and lowkey downgrading their talent by saying its an opinion and Warner Music replying to it with a different artist... All I can say is: PAIDDDDDDDDDD pic.twitter.com/J4rVZjs2LZ

Unfortunate, but Internet drama happens every day, as long as it doesn't have actual real-world consequences.

Real-world consequences

Dee Kosh uploaded a video of himself in tears.

To all the ARMYs in my mentions pic.twitter.com/7YtLgj8TV3

In case you can't see it.

In it, he talked about these things:

• Hate he was getting for just giving an opinion
• The toxicity of the BTS fanbase.
• Conceding defeat

Oh, and also how they emailed his bosses over at Power 98.

"They emailed my, my bosses? On radio, like what does my personal opinion have to do with my job, like why do you have to go until like, like are you so vindictive that you go all the way to my job, like you'll email my boss?

Like don't you have anything else to do, like all I gave was my opinion, like why should it matter. Screw all of you, you guys are bullies, you're toxic, and all you want to do is destroy peoples lives. Disgusting."

And if that wasn't enough, apparently some fans seem to have reported his YouTube channel, which had a pretty sizeable following.

Great. Now my youtube channel is gone. Thanks alot ARMYs.

Which didn't seem to appease some of the boyband's fanbase, with some suggesting the possibility that Dee Kosh had deleted his channel himself.

Wow.
