1. [+1,414, -10] Thanks to communist China for trying to bully BTS, westerners and people all over the world are now able to mark a clear difference between Koreans and the Chinese

2. [+523, -0] Chinese celebrities working in Korea are all so busy trying to glamorize the history of the 6.25 war for themselves but they don't allow us to say anything about it ㅋㅋ hypocrites

3. [+36, -0] I'm a bit too old to be liking idols but amidst all these depressing news articles, it gives me strength to see BTS news too. They make me proud as a Korean citizen.

4. [+27, -0] BTS is bulletproof for a reason, I wish them more success

5. [+22, -1] Please kick all the Chinese idols out to North Korea and make sure all K-Pop idol groups are only Korean from now on! Let's never forget all the cases of foreigner members taking our fame and running with it.

6. [+20, -0] China, look at how North Korea is faring after your help in the 6.25 war. They are starving and running away. How can you be proud of that?

7. [+19, -0] I'm not a BTS fan but I'll defend them against the Chinese if I have to

8. [+17, -0] BTS is Korea's pride. They are accomplishing things that no one else has been able to. They're the only group that can shut China up from all their lies. I'm so mad that this is the reality that they're in, though ㅠㅠ

9. [+13, -0] This is a great example of the kind of soft power that pop culture like BTS holds on the rest of the world. I'm proud that BTS has the kind of influence that they do.

10. [+12, -0] China's just scared that Hallyu is growing within China when they have to claim communism to be the best at everything
