[NB] Debate over upcoming BTS fan meet in Japan

[Kami]

Article: BTS Japanese fan meet controversy... "At a time like this?" vs "Has nothing to do with politics"

1. [+2,416, -172] I support them making money there and bringing it back

2. [+2,267, -169] Gotta bring home the yen~ why hate on that~~ ㅎㅎ

3. [+1,986, -136] Let's not oppose everything related to Japan, we have to calculate what benefits us and doesn't. Japanese money coming in to Korea is a good thing ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+95, -12] I support the fan meet because they're going to Japan to bring home the yen... If they were just going for vacation, they'd get hated on to death, but I support it because it's to make money. And I bet the right-wingers would get so mad at seeing Japanese fans attend the fan meet, shaking in anger at their own people fangirling over Korean celebrities... That's why I support it, although the radioactivity does make me worry..

5. [+65, -14] Bring home the yen ㅎㅎ I support BTS~~

6. [+62, -6] I like that they'll bring home yen but I do worry that a worldwide star like BTS will make others think that Japan is a safe place by going there

7. [+60, -3] I don't care about the fan meet but let's not be two faced. If it's okay for BTS to work in Japan, then other singers shouldn't get hate for it either.

8. [+48, -19] Look at the hypocrisy ㅋㅋㅋ Twice would get a sh*t ton of hate if they were going to have a Japanese fan meet ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+46, -5] Imagine the impact if BTS said something like "Dokdo belongs to Korea"...

10. [+41, -13] People are saying that it's fine because BTS is bringing home yen but they're also making money for their Japanese sponsors and businesses involved. If you really want to "bring home the yen", then BTS should be opening a fan meet in Korea and having the Japanese fans come here. Tsk tsk, pathetic logic.

Why are they making it like Japan is not a safe place to go?
They are acting like they are going to a war-torn country.

Didn't realize they were having their fanmeet at Fukushima. I think they should be more worried about PM2.5 in Korea than radiation in Osaka or Chiba, both being 200KM away from Fukushima.

LMAO. The act of selling Korean albums in Japan also makes money for Japanese business like Tower Records JP or Amazon JP. Heck, even a fanmeet in Korea will make money from Japanese transport companies and airlines transporting fans to Korea. Meanwhile, Korea to Japan:

Knetz logic. Tsk tsk.

 

[fullofjoy]

it has nothing to do with politics

And Suga look so cute!

 

[Just Momonika]

Makes me sad they sayind this is about them bringing yen to Korea, when in reality they just want to please their japanese fans. Like if it's a fanmeeting in Korea "ow great kids trying to meet fans" and in Japan "bring that yen" I'm....

Last I heard, North Korea was testing nuclear bombs just across the border.

They don't own them, or Twice, or anyone; how sad and pathetic your powerless life must be to feel realized by imagining you can control the life of others, sad

NB sis is so hypocryte.

So tired of knetz bringing politics relationship with Japan in legit everything. Can at least music and artisty be just music and artisty?
Also the "go to Japan to bring their money" narrative is such a lol like Bangtan don't go to Japan even for vacation cause they just love it there and how calm and respective their Japanese fans are

 

[지우____]

Mannn and to think that I share the same blood as these assholes.
I have a Japanese friend who’s a Army and already paid for her ticket, she can’t wait to meet them her first time in Japan.


People should not mix up politics and Music with each other, Music brings everyone together.



Besides that;;;; China already has a hate against K-Pop, If Japan Bans it too then it’s Bye Bye S.korea, and the U.S will always choose Japan over S.korea. So why are they even trying
