BTS Controversies
Most recent controversy: BTS RM and Henry Cavill 2022 Most Handsome Face Winner
Many K-pop stars are among the most handsome faces all over the world. But who has the most handsome face? RM or Henry Cavill. The answer is that we cannot compare both of them. Each of them has good looks. Also, people are posting racist remarks against RM as the rumours said that he pushed Henry Cavill down to the second position.
The list for 2022 Most Handsome Faces has not been released yet. The list will be out in December. And the decision will be taken according to the votes.
T C Chandler said that “For those who have been asking and spreading the meme… No, we have not released the 2022 Lists yet. We only ever release the Top 100 lists in late December.
As much as we like both RM (Kim Nam-joon) and Henry Cavill, neither of them has ever been crowned the winner or even been in the Top 5.
Nothing has been decided in 2022 and nothing will be until we hold a vote in December.
If you see the meme or the news story floating around social media, please ignore and don’t share.
War Of Hormone
War of Hormone was criticised by the people for its lyrics. People said that the song has misogynistic lyrics and it objectifies women. Some lines of the song :
Women who make you look through their clothes,
My eyes keep turning, women’s belly (Yup),
I’m sweating, I’m making a fuss for nothing, please wear more high heels
After being criticised by most of the people, BTS tried to make more sensitive lyrics.
Condom in Jin’s Room
In 2014, Jin shared a picture of his dorm, where he was eating the food he cooked. Many fans spotted a packet of king sized condom behind him. The Army and other people started posting pictures and writing captions. Later on, Big Hit Entertainment came forward to clarify that it was gifted by a fan.
Death Threats to Kim Namjoon
In an Australian interview, RM made a controversial statement saying that, when he first met V and J-Hope, he couldn’t see them because they were ‘too black’. People said that this statement is racist. In 2015, he received so many death threats because of the statement. Later on, the United States tour was cancelled.
Criticism for not following Covid Safety Protocols
In 2020, when Covid cases were at their peak, Jungkook was spotted at Itaewon Club with his friends. He was criticised by people for not following covid safety protocols. He was blamed because he is a public figure and role model for many people. The Army will follow what their role models do.
He later said that “I am truly sorry for those who have had a hard time and strived to battle the virus. I feel the same for other BTS members who always stand by me,” Jungkook said on a radio programme.
“I was also heavy-hearted, as my beloved fans might have had a difficult time because of me. I talked a lot with the members and reflected on myself. I wanted to speak directly to you live – from now on, I will be more careful in my thoughts and actions always and everywhere.”
The Photograph of Taehyung smoking outside the Grammys venue
In 2022, V was photographed smoking outside Grammys venue. After that his photo became viral on all social media sites. Some people supported Taehyung and some criticised him for smoking as they think that V is promoting cigarettes or telling the younger generation that smoking cigarettes is common.
As I said earlier, people criticise public figures because many of them are their inspirations.
