Recently, posts related to BTS RM appeared on the official account of Share News Japan, a Japanese right-wing force. This scene captures RM singing 'Dokdo is our land' in a comical makeup wearing hanbok to carry out the punishment in the content of 'New King BTS'. But the BTS leader wears Japanese Military Sexual Slavery clothes and sings that Takeshima belongs to Korea" has angered viewers by leaving an explanation.
It is also wrong to call hanbok, the traditional Korean dress, 'Japanese Military Sexual Slavery clothes', but it is not right to mock victims of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery who suffered from losing their youth and dreams to Japan's misdeeds in the past. It is also impossible to abuse BTS, the pride of K-pop, for lowly Korean demeaning acts.
Japan's right-wing forces have caused controversy in the past by expressing dissatisfaction with RM's conceptual moves, such as leaving posts on social media to commemorate Liberation Day and Jimin appearing on broadcasts wearing a T-shirt to commemorate Liberation Day.
Professor Seo Kyung-deok emphasized that "As K-pop's influence grows around the world, the number of right-wing Japanese forces' nitpicking is increasing day by day. We should consistently point out their wrong historical perceptions and actions at home and abroad to prevent this from happening again."
