KICK'S RIDE TO THE AEROPORT was short, with surprisingly little traffic leading to Heathrow. She connected the reasoning to this to the fact that it was two in the morning. Despite this, a large crowd still waited for her outside the entrance and at least a third of them were photographers.
Her management had attempted to keep her travelling times quiet, however someone must have obviously talked, so she hoped that they at least didn't know where she was going to. If anyone did find out, then it would most likely be down to her ex, Kyle, which would be her fault. Nonetheless, it still didn't stop herself from getting annoyed that her present (the collab) for her fans would no longer be a surprise.
Signing as many pieces of paper as she could whilst the paparazzi took their photos, she thanked each of them for coming out so early to say goodbye to her and it wasn't long before she was rushed towards the boarding area. She felt like she was walking in slow motion towards the plane, as if to remind her that if she ran away then nothing would happen.
She wouldn't be in a collaboration that she really wanted to be a part of, but the members of BTS would have time to compose themselves after what they had been through. Kick had been trying to stay off her social media, but it was hard when she felt uneasy over their issues, even when she hadn't even met them.
Of course she knew what was going on. Who didn't?
Two weeks prior to her departure to South Korea, an article was published saying that during their collaboration with Halsey, BTS used the miscommunication to their advantage to lower to amount of time she sang in the song. This article was supported by a video of Taehyung and Jimin talking to each other about her singing voice.
Since the journalist was American, he decided to caption the video with the words of his own choosing. Very early on in Bighit's response to it, they mentioned the incorrect subtitles before correctly translating it in a press conference.
Despite this massive sign that declared the article to be based upon false claims, the media continued to pursue BTS's collaboration with Halsey as a source of interest. As well as economic growth.
Only two days prior to her flight was the media fully convinced. The majority of the public thought this the second that the article was discredited, yet it took multiple statements from the members and Halsey to get them to stopping talking about the matter further. The scandal lowered the trust of other artists in BTS, leading them to feel excluded from the music community, as well as the few who still believed the article was true.
People who thought that it was true were the type to let everyone know this, even convince others to believe the same. This meant that despite the media dropping their worthless investigation, some still chose to display their disgust that the song had not been removed from streaming websites.
