1. [+602, -31] Please don't use BTS for your politics

2. [+493, -25] Please leave BTS out of this. A concert in Pyongyang should be with singers who match North Korean sentiment.. Our last concert there showed us that North Koreans are not yet ready to accept our pop culture yet, why drag BTS into that again? I'm sure to BTS, this could be a meaningful concert for them, but as a fan, I just don't want them to get used for political reasons.

3. [+423, -16] Not like Big Hit can say much at this point anyway ㅡㅡ Find strength, BTS, keep your health up this year and fighting!

4. [+42, -3] Leave them alone!! They aren't even getting enough rest!!!!

5. [+40, -4] Sorry but BTS is not an idol group that you politicians can drag around wherever you want.. Before you ask Jong Un if he wants BTS up there, you should be asking BTS if they're even willing to perform ㅋㅋ

6. [+32, -1] These kids are already busy to death, why take them there! Leave them alone!!!

7. [+28, -1] I think the idol group that performed the ending stage for all three broadcast channels should be the ones going. Please send the ending group instead.

8. [+26, -0] If you want to take an idol group up there with you so badly, then take the ending performers of all three broadcast channels. Do not use BTS and Big Hit for your own political gains.

9. [+23, -0] Why does that politician keep trying to drag BTS into this?

10. [+21, -0] Send the public broadcast ending performance group instead

1. [+2,732, -63] Please don't use BTS for political purposes. You guys don't respect their music that has been spread famously far and wide, don't you dare try and use the honor that they've shed blood, sweat, and tears to build.

2. [+1,506, -46] The fact that politicians think they can use celebrities however they want for their own political gains is an buse of power!! How is this any different from the past administration!

3. [+1,014, -24] I am adamantly against this!!!!!!!!!! I oppose BTS performing in North Korea!!!!!

4. [+594, -16] Don't use celebrities for political gain! It only puts the celebrities in an awkward position once administrations change~

5. [+162, -3] I hate the conservative mindset that you have to do whatever your country tells you to do. I viewed Ahn Min Suk positively but I'm disappointed with the way he continues to bring BTS into this. What is he trying to do? Pressure them into going? This isn't some joke.
