1. [+628, -23] You can see it on BTS facial expressions that they look uncomfortable.. I like that they're expressing themselves!!

2. [+610, -21] BTS must've felt bad. Sunday Morning should erase Sea of Japan and edit it as the East Sea with an apology!

3. [+590, -32] I bet they purposely marked it as the Sea of Japan. Probably mad that an Asian group is so popular and wanted to put them down.

4. [+70, -0] Did they seriously also talk about the prospects of disbanding to a group that's doing so well right now?

5. [+63, -4] ㅋㅋ I mean, is that map even necessary??? Was a graphic image of where BTS is specifically from really necessary? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Japan has been manipulating things like this for a while that I can't help but wonder if they're behind this too ㅡㅡ

6. [+48, -0] Such low quality questions. If you're not properly prepared, why even bother calling in busy people for an interview, tsk tsk.

7. [+41, -1] Felt a bit rude to ask them questions about disbandment

8. [+38, -0] Sea of Japan? ㅡ.ㅡ Armies, let's get to work on this. Gotta fix what's wrong.

9. [+32, -9] The least they could've done was mark it with both names since it's a disputed area

10. [+25, -1] I don't think this was intentional. 80-90% of the maps worldwide still have it marked as the Sea of Japan. Even Google has it marked like that. There's no way these people would've thought any differently of it. It's overreacting to say this was done on purpose. If it's anyone to blame, it's our own diplomacy for letting people mark the East Sea as the Sea of Japan and not doing anything about it.

11. [+25, -0] Something about their questions didn't seem like they were considerate of BTS either

12. [+11, -3] What do you guys think is the most viewed map in the world? Obviously the one on Google. Even Google has the East Sea marked as the Sea of Japan. Why blame these guys when even Google has it marked like that ㅋㅋㅋ how were they supposed to know? It's our own government's fault for letting this happen.
