Concerns have been raised that BTS member Jeon Jungkook's official YouTube music Topic channel isn't showing up properly when people search his name.

For the past month, searching Jeon Jungkook on YouTube hasn't brought up the official channel. When you search every other member's name, their individual Topic channel appears, but with Jeon Jungkook, clickbait gossip videos come up instead. Subscriptions related to Jeon Jungkook's Topic channel aren't visible either, so this has been affecting subscriber growth since then too. (Jeon Jungkook currently has 4.4 million subscribers)
Even if you search Jeon Jungkook with BTS included (BTS Jeon Jungkook, BTS's Jeon Jungkook, etc.), it redirects you to the official BTS channel. Every other member's search takes you to that member's individual Topic channel.
Big Hit could probably resolve this easily by asking YouTube to fix the error, but they've left it alone for a month.
Every other member's official individual channel shows up, but only Jeon Jungkook gets clickbait gossip channels.
It's basically no different from completely blocking streams and views for Jeon Jungkook's solo songs.

How does it make any sense that clickbait gossip channels come up first when you search Jeon Jungkook's name? Fans have been asking for a fix for a month. What kind of company is Big Hit?
With Jeon Jungkook, it's exhausting even trying to list everything, starting with the credit errors. Fans aren't asking for anything special, just the basics, yet every time there are errors, omissions, and things being downplayed. Why the hell do they keep doing this?
It's not even the first time lol. They added a BTS credit to Jeon Jungkook's solo song Seven, then removed it once the backlash got bad, and Dreamers is still labeled as a BTS song. So the YouTube thing probably isn't an error either.
