This is going viral because BTS, a global K-pop phenomenon, performed a deeply patriotic Korean song in Tokyo Dome, a major Japanese venue, to 110,000 fans. This bold move directly challenges historical tensions between Korea and Japan, sparking strong reactions from both sides, especially the Japanese far-right.

Fr fr, some haters and other fandoms were calling BTS 'pro-Japanese' after the Arirang album dropped, spamming every community. And remember when some fandom snitched on RM's 'Dokdo is our land' challenge to the Japanese far-right? The way those pathetic haters act 🙄
The cultural power is just on another level ✨
Just 빛s, literally 😭
They should've gotten military exemption, no cap... My heart aches for them 😭
This was 100% military exemption worthy, period.
Ngl, I was against BTS getting military exemption. I felt like they'd just get dragged more if they did. Better to just serve cleanly and then shut up all the 'hip-hop wannabes' like AKMU's Chanhyuk did. Seeing how those clowns acted, it's better they just went. Now they're all real ones who served, and that's just even better. 😤
BTS got the Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit in 2018 for spreading Hallyu and Hangeul, youngest idol group EVER at 25! THIS IS KPOP! 👑
Before the atomic bomb t-shirt drama, BTS was already getting attacked by some Korean factions for 'Spring Day' (Sewol Ferry connection) and quoting Kim Gu. Now with this Arirang thing, those same haters are pretending to be normal people to drag them, and it's actually working on some. Mob mentality is wild 🙄
Truly respected musicians, regardless of age. 🫡
My heart 😭😭😭
