BTS ARMY reacts as KIPO rejects HYBE's attempt to trade mark Kim Taehyung's phrase 'borahae'
BTS ARMY is very protective of the Bangtan Boys RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook. Everything that is said or done or even not done when it comes to the BTS members, the ARMY goes all guns and blazes over the same. They don't even leave the management company when it comes to, calling out over some mismanagement or lack of action, etc. However, this time around, the BTS ARMY is angry at HYBE for trying to trademark the phrase 'Borahae' coined by Kim Taehyung aka BTS V.
Hollywood News: HYBE wanted to trademark 'Borahae'
As per K-media reports, HYBE, formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment, wanted to trademark the phrase 'Borahae' which is coined by none other than one of the most popular members of BTS, Kim Taehyung. As per Soompi, a cosmetic brand company called LALALEES wanted to trademark the term 'Borahae' which got a lot of attention. And following the same, HYBE took an action and filed a plea to register a trademark for Borahae.
HYBE's plea to trademark Borahae gets rejected; ARMY reacts
Now, as per the latest report in Soompi, the plea filed by HYBE aka Big Hit Entertainment to trademark Borahae has been rejected by KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office). Yes, you read that right. The reason for the same was mentioned in a statement that stated it was coined by Kim Taehyung on November 13, 2016. And they did not accept it as it was against the principles of good faith. It was said that HYBE (the applicant) is not V and that Kim Taehyung is in an employee-employer relationship with the company. Hence, they cannot apply for the right. And after learning about this update, ARMY is in uproar as they want Taehyung to have the copyright and trademark registered in his name. Check out the reactions here:

The company wasn't doing it on Taehyung's behalf, that's why they were denied their claim.

Taehyung should be the one to apply trademark not hybe, cause if borahae was claimed by hybe other groups in hybe could use with just hybe permission. And if someday BTS leave the company they have no right over it anymore, only hybe. Plus the profit they get from sponsors using-

talking as if you aren't the ones who claimed to be taehyung's legal representatives that stopped hybe from copyrighting "borahae", so don't fret and blame it on hybe if other company uses it for marketing https://t.co/aWZzb7jyWt

There is no endless court battle. This is NOT a case. This is just an application. There is a huge difference between the two. Respecting Taehyung as the creator of Borahae does not make us horrible. It is the army who do not respect Tae

Its not about knowing BTS . Its about respecting the creator of Borahae. KIPO respected Taehyung unfortunately "Army " do not. They prefer the Company owns it. so sad

What does Borahae mean?
Borahae means I Purple You. It also translates to I'll love you till the end of days as said by BTS V. The phrase was made by amalgamating Bora and Saranghae. Bora stands for Purple which is the last colour of the rainbow and Saranghae stands for I Love You, thus it became Bora-hae, I Purple You.
