1. [+5,217, -30] ㅋㅋㅋ Japan tried so hard to hide their history and now they're broadcasting it to the entire world... I never thought Hallyu was a big deal but BTS are the true diplomats

2. [+2,959, -22] Thankfully, the younger generation of the world will come to learn the atrocities committed by Japan during the colonization. BTS continues to write new history.

3. [+1,937, -24] Big Hit-nim, if Japan puts restrictions on BTS performing there, we can just hold a concert in Busan. The Japanese armies can come visit a lot easier and it's Junggook and Jimin's hometown after all.

4. [+1,132, -18] It is not an atomic bomb t-shirt, it is a liberation day t-shirt.

5. [+196, -2] So what're they going to say about themselves wearing the rising sun t-shirt to visit Jeju Island?

1. [+1,884, -24] Amazing Armies, I love you BTS and Jimin

2. [+1,698, -21] BTS are just young kids. This is an issue that will take a long time to resolve, please don't put the pressure of doing it all at once on them. Please just support them so they can focus on who they are as singers. That will be enough.

3. [+1,189, -12] The fans are right. BTS is being used as a political weapon and being put so much pressure on when they're just kids who are singers at the end of the day. The Armies are working hard to put emotions aside and deliver the truth.

4. [+723, -10] So much pride and respect towards Armies^^!!!!!! I'm sure BTS and Jimin feel so proud to have fans like them~ always supporting both BTS and Armies

5. [+143, -5] I don't know why the responsibility is on the BTS fans to get out there and clarify and explain and fix the wrong. Japan is the one putting out false reports in the news, and their right-wing community is moving in swarms on the internet. Why is Korea relying only on a fandom and saying "fighting" to them to do all the work?? What is our own media doing???

6. [+67, -2] Armies all over the world are doing what the Korean media should've been doing. I guess Korea has no real journalists, only copy and pasters. Sorry and thank you to all the fans, you are respected.
