Thread of PROBLEMATIC things BTS has NOT apologized for. #ARMY #BTS #KPOP

1. RM working with Islam*ph*bic artist L!l Nas X; L!l Nas X has never formally apologized for the comments he made and continually jokes about how he should be “cancelled” instead of taking the situation seriously.

4. V and Jungkook wearing Rasta hats; many fans took offense to this issue and were ignored, neither member has apologized to those who were hurt.

5. Jimin told RM he looks like a Māori Chief. The Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, and no one has apologized for this incident.
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

6. Jimin used the Korean equivalent of the N word to describe how Jungkook looks tanned. Army’s tried to convince others that that is not the meaning of the word, but even native Koreans know it is the N word. No apologize from Jimin has been issued for this.

7. J-Hope and Suga appropriating black hairstyles; there has been no comment from either member about the issue.

8. Suga mocking Native American names + RM imitating a fake war cry. Army’s worked deligently to remove this video from the Internet; no apology has been made.

9. BTS tweeting that a women should show skin in the winter because “that’s how men like it.” No apology made for the misogynistic tweet.
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

10. After RM supposedly changed his ways about CA, he went on to tweet a throwback picture of him doing CA...in 2017. Has he really learned his lesson?
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

11. Jin wearing a Radical Feminist sweater. Radical feminism is known to support exclusionary ideologies against trans-women.
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

12. Jungkook being classist; he said, “‘Cute beggars’ is our concept. Do we look like beggars?” There has been no apology for this insensitive comment.
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

13. Jin fat-shaming Jimin when the interviewer asked the group who has changed the most since pre-debut.
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

14. Jimin spotted in Paris mocking Desi culture in front of a mural. He is using the hand gestures and pose despite being unaware of the culture and what it means.
#ARMY #BTS #KPOP

15. BTS member called @Tinashe’s music “rachet” and said they’re into “rachet” music these days. #BTS #ARMY #KPOP

16. BTS member V showing a lack of appreciation for fans, accusing them of lying that it’s their birthday. #BTS #ARMY #KPOP

17. Jungkook attended a club in Itaewon during quarantine restrictions last month, showcasing more of his irresponsible behavior. He must be tested for COVID-19. #BTS   #ARMY #KPOP

17.2 Further confirmation from media sources that Jungkook attended clubs in Itaewon during the restriction period. He was tested for COVID-19 and came out negative. Regardless of the result, this was very irresponsible. #BTS #ARMY #KPOP

18. Suga ‘Agust D’ mocks drug addiction in 2020 comeback release; says drug addiction is based on “a petty excuse” and addicts have “no talent.” No apology has been made for the gross, insensitive lyrics.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

19. Suga involved in multiple controversies for Agust D ‘D-2’ mixtape. Thanks COVID19 for allowing him to release music. Sampled a Jim Jones speech who was known to target black lives and young children.

20. Jin equates homelessness to being recognized on the street as a celebrity. Arrogance is a disease and he is sick.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

19.1 Further explanation on why Suga’s Jim Jones’ sample is problematic. This is who he gave a platform to. This is who he supports.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

19.2 Jim Jones’ cult followers were predominant black women and men. He led the mass murder-suicide of these people. 900+ dead, including some children. You do not give a platform for MONSTERS.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

19.3 Koreans are noticing, they are also criticizing his sample of Jim Jones. Naver searches of “Jim Jones” also directly show results of him leading the mass suicide of his predominantly black followers. Yoongi most definitely knew this.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

19.4 Proof that all it takes is one simple Naver search to find out what he did. Notice how the first result is about the pact of 900 people, not his anti-SK motives.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

20. Suga referencing Kim Jung-Un in song “If I Rule the World” saying he will become a dictator over Hip-Hop which is a music genre created & belonging to black artists. This is an ignorant comment trying to insert non-black narratives into black spheres of life.
#BTS #KPOP

20.1 Same song, RM saying there’d be no racism in his ideal world but proceeds to say he has only European, Asian, and Caucasian girls (white people mentioned twice). Also note only the reference to women and not people in general. Bizarre mindset.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

BONUS: “LA version” of song “Boy in Luv” shows the members trying to win over black women. Notice how it’s only black women present in this video and their attempt to show how tough they are to impress them.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

19.5 Armys caught up in their own lies. They claimed Suga intentionally used this sample to diss him, but turns out he isn’t a “genius producer” afterall; he was completely unaware of the meaning of the sample but didn’t question it anyway. https://twitter.com/oh_mes2/status/1267050045632741378?s=21 https://twitter.com/OH_mes2/status/1267050045632741378

22. Taehyung/V tells a fan her clothes are too “racy” (야하다) and then makes her promise that she will cover up a bit more next time.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

23. Jin being fat-phobic again, says he wanted to call Jimin a pig whenever he asked if he gained weight. Jimin is known to have had many issues with his weight yet Jin continues to joke about him being fat.
#BTS #KPOP #ARMY

24. Taehyung/V wears a mask depicting Buddha and tries to be comical by adorning it with glasses. He can be seen in a video (see 24.1) mocking Buddhist gestures. This insensitive incident has never been apologized for. #BTS #KPOP #ARMY

24.1 Video depicting Taehyung/V purposely mimicking Buddhist culture because of the mask he is wearing despite never claiming Buddhism as his own religion. This incident was never apologized for. #BTS #KPOP #ARMY

25. The Ego MV depicts a scene w/ statues & texts from different religions. Pictured: a Buddha head, the Virgin Mary, & what many speculate to be a Quran with prayer beads. Mixing sacred items together is disrespectful to each religion involved. (cont’d)
#BTS #ARMY #KPOP

25.1 It considered disrespectful to purchase and display Buddha heads ornamentally. Additionally, a crystal ball, commonly associated with witchcraft/scrying, is also displayed on the table top which has been historically condemned by religious groups. (cont’d)
#BTS #ARMY #KPOP

25.2 It is clear that caution was not used when decorating this scene. Sacred symbols should not be used like this especially for aesthetics.
#BTS #ARMY #KPOP

25.3 The next issue in J-Hope’s solo MV ‘Ego’ is using his face in place of various gods from different cultures.
1. Odin (Germanic)
2. Mithras (Indo-Iranian)
3. Jupiter (Roman)
4. Ra (Egyptian)
It is very disrespectful to deface deities from cultures you aren’t apart of.
#BTS

26. In the BANGTANTV update on August 21st, 2020, there was a teepee in the background which is an important symbol of the culture of Native American tribes and the lives of indigenous people. Using this as a background set is offensive and ignorant.
