1. What the... 

2. They've applied for trademark already in September 2020, I don't see the big deal behind it... It's something that anyone can come up with. Of course, I know that BTS popularized the color purple, but there are so many companies out there who already has purple as their signature color and have a branding around it. They probably already had purple in mind so to say that they copied the wording 'Borahae' is a bit... 'Color'-hae~ is such a popular saying already, so I think that it's totally plausible

3. I don't think it's overinflated ego. The word itself was made by someone else yet they're the ones trademarking it?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are so many people trying to profit off Bangtan?ㅋㅋㅋ

4. I don't know if the business copied them or not, but to say that you would've never heard of the world 'borahae' if not from Bangtan is... Overinflated ego 

5. Then Bighit should've done it first

6. I wouldn't say they copied it

7. I'm not even a fan and I know about BTS' borahae. They put it in every collab they do no?

8. Are the fans telling us that nobody can use the word Borahae aside from BTS?

9. But if BTS never thought of doing business with the word Borahae then who cares if other businesses use it?? I saw that they used it for McDo's collab too... It's a bit funny of course, but I don't see the harm in doing this 

10. Where's the company? I'll boycott it 

11. Borahae is just a word from purple, anyone can say "borahae" if they want to no....??????? Why are the fans acting like victimsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

12. The company has no shame

13. To the people who don't know about Borahae, please look at the Empire State Building welcoming Bangtan with their purple light

14. It's the first time I'm hearing about Borahae in my life. What trendy word?ㅋㅋ

15. So many people without shame here, Borahae belongs to BTS

16. Of course if you're BTS fan, this will ruin your mood

17. Overreaction 

18. The business doing this is hopeless and the people saying fans are overreacting are also hopelessㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

19. Of course it's possible that they didn't know but if they were to apply for a trademark I bet that the company did their research no???? They're thugs

20. Bangtan has been using purple with their collabo with Samsung and they've been consistently using it though?
