Presidential inauguration, controversy over BTS invitation...What's the top star to host the previous inauguration?
In the first week of April, it was announced that the group BTS will perform at the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Yoon Seok-ryul, but it ended with a happening. In addition, stars who attended the inauguration ceremony of the president in the past were reexamined.
The news that BTS (RM, Jin, Sugar, Jay Hop, Ji Min, V, Jungkook) could perform a celebration performance at the inauguration ceremony of Yoon was first announced through Yoon's remarks on KBS radio 'Ju Jin Woo Live' recently.
When the radio host asked Park Joo-sun, chairman of the presidential inauguration preparation committee, "Is BTS preparing for the inauguration ceremony?" Park said, "We are discussing it now."
However, the agency Big Hit Music was in the position of 'initiation of gold'. "The company also got the content through the article," Big Hit Music said on i. "We have not been officially invited (from the party of the election of Yoon Seok-ryul).
Among the fans, "Do not use BTS politically," a strong backlash. On the day of the remarks of the transition committee, more than 1,000 articles were posted on the bulletin board of the presidential transition committee, "I want the people to be elected," saying that they opposed the inauguration ceremony of BTS in just one day.
As the opposition to the invitation of the BTS' inauguration ceremony grew, the transition team began to explain. On July 7, a spokesman for the Shin Yong-hyun said in a regular briefing, "It came from the process of preparing with various ideas." "There is no request from the transition committee or linking with the agency."
The BTS’s inaugural performance became unclear, but the stars who had participated in the previous presidential inauguration were also subject to re-examination, all of which were icons of the time and top stars who enjoyed one era.
The late Michael Jackson, who was called the "Emperor of Pop," attended the inauguration ceremony of the late President Kim Dae-jung in 1998. At the time, he wore a black fedora, a red jacket and sunglasses to appreciate Kim's inauguration.
The inauguration ceremony of the late former President Roh Moo-hyun was the first to feature a concert by singers, and the popular group god (Giody) of the day attended the event. Singer Kim Jang-hoon took the stage at the inauguration of former President Lee Myung-bak.
At the inauguration ceremony of former President Park Geun-hye, singer Sai, who became a global star with 'Gangnam Style', performed a celebration performance. The inauguration ceremony of President Moon Jae-in in 2017 was held with the impeachment of Park, and his term began at the same time as his election.
