BTS is racist again: "Gay boys", the cause of the global pandemic

Appearing at a big event, BTS members were unnecessarily offended.

BTS members have officially started their series of activities in the states to promote in the United States. Recently, the "global group" also appeared at the American Music Awards 2021 - where they received three different awards, including the critically acclaimed grand prize, Artist of the Year.

Despite their upcoming busy schedules, members Jungkook, Jimin, J-Hope, and V still took a moment to enjoy, by attending Harry Styles' concert, held on May 20. last November, at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The members were photographed by dozens of lucky ARMYs who were also present.

The four members happened to sit next to two female singers Lizzo and SZA, and at the same time sent warm greetings to each other. However, after the performance, the members became the target of unwarranted racism.

The American singer, who also attended the show with Lizzo, was asked why she didn't take pictures with the BTS members. It was to this question that SZA replied that, while Lizzo "tried to introduce" her and the BTS members to each other, "they don't care".

SZA's way of saying "they don't care" was taken out of context, which then led to a series of racist comments aimed at the BTS members. Various fans of SZA began to defend the singer, referring to the K-Pop boy band with derogatory terms reserved for Asians.

SZA fans also commented on the BTS members, calling them "gay boys with tight eyes", even blaming the group for the global pandemic.

Another SZA fan shared a tweet commenting on the language barrier between the two artists, as SZA can't "speak Chinese" - even though BTS is a Korean boy band. They also made an ignorant comment about the "small eyes" of the members, again targeting the Asian community with the derogatory comment.

After these comments were made public, and ARMYs did not hold back and retaliated on behalf of the BTS members on behalf of the racist behavior, the hashtag #LEAVEBTSALONE began to trend on Twitter.

Thousands of tweets defending the BTS members began to appear on Twitter, responding to SZA's alleged "lying" behavior. According to dozens of different ARMYs present at the Harry Styles concert, SZA is said to have received a hug from V.

SZA then had to share an explanation, in a now-deleted tweet, saying that she didn't mean for the situation to turn "negative", BTS fans continuing to demand an apology from the singer. American doctor.

In the face of the rising tide of hatred towards Asians in recent times, BTS has become an international artist to speak out about this worrying issue. On Twitter, the popular K-pop group clearly stated the issue of racism and hate for Asians in a statement written in both English and Korean.

The Korean idol group sent their deep condolences to those who lost loved ones because of hatred for Asians and expressed that they were "sorrowful and angry" at what has happened and is happening.

BTS also admitted that they themselves were victims of racism and suffered a lot of insults just because they were Asian. The group mentioned in the statement, "We have had to receive harsh words for no reason as well as be ridiculed for our appearance.

We were even asked why Asians communicate in English.” Not only that, in February 2021, a German radio station caused outrage when the host compared "chicken" darling" of Big Hit with Corona virus.
