The cancellation of the BTS' Japan broadcast is spreading to international controversy.
Overseas media are analyzing this as a major news, and analyzing the deep-rooted historical and political tensions between Korea and Japan as a real reason.
Japan TV Asahi suddenly canceled the music pro appearance on the 8th because of the T-shirt worn by BTS member.
Overseas media are reporting on this.
The BBC said, "The atomic bomb shirt worn by Ji Min contains the independence slogan of Korea." Some Japanese seem to celebrate the bomb that brought independence to the Korean peninsula. "
CNN also said, "Korea and Japan are particularly sensitive to World War II heritage," he said. "Japan colonial rule continues to affect bilateral relations."
Analysts say the cooling of bilateral relations after the Supreme Court's decision to pay for the late last month has affected the situation.
"The historical tension between the two countries was the highest last month when the forced labor ruling was held," the New York Times said. "Currently, Korea and Japan are like political minefields."
Japan, which has been reviewing its recent appearance due to this incident, is also reporting that it will be difficult for BTS to appear on Japan.
But the support of BTS Japan fans remains unchanged.
In SNS, the articles "I support the happy Japan activities of BTS" spread and the comments of fans who are disappointed in the cancellation of the appearance are steadily running.
In addition, the single album released by BTS on Japan on the 7th still remained at the top of Japan Oricon's single chart.
