To the people who are upset at B/TS for not speaking up. some of yâall donât know that asians (only speaking for eastern) can be extremely racist because of the media. Even if BTS wanted to speak up, BigHit would probably see that itâs the companyâs best interest for them to not+
just look at the hate they got the last time they spoke up about matters going on. they were flooded with so much hate. when they made spring day, which references the Sewol Ferry tragedy, they were hated and criticized by korean media.
Because they are such big artists, the korean media will make a huge deal out of it. which is why other korean artists were able to speak up. because the media is not on their asses the way they watch btsâ every action.
bts could be donating secretly for all we know. theyâve done that before, and i donât think that the chance of them doing that now is slim. Please understand how many eyes are watching them. Even if they did speak up, their voices will be twisted and they will still receive hate.
please just understand that especially for controversial and sensitive (*in korea*) topics like racism, itâs hard for them to know the right move. And if they wanted to say something but their management said itâs best to keep quite for now, thatâs out of their control.
please change your perspective and look not from the weatern lense. they got hate for speaking up about mental illness in their music. so little other korean idols have ever brushed upon that because they know it will receive mass amounts of criticism.
do you still not understand how toxic korean media can be?? like weâve literally been through hell in just 2020. Do you not remember all the shit they got over the years for touching on taboo subjects??
sorry for the typos
