- [+5,884, -605] Are ARMY seriously not angry about this? He's using BTS as his golden spoon to put on a show!?
- [+3,726, -300] Only people that don't have the ability use celebrities. Where did the money for his political fund come from? Investigate him and I have no doubt a novel will come out.
- [+3,222, -801] Exempt them from the military! He keeps using BTS for everything but won't exempt them from enlistment!
- [+1,772, -114] Kids, please think twice. First Bang Si-hyuk, now this. This is 3rd UN speech he's using someone else as facilitator. He's degrading BTS. Don't get involved in politics!
- [+311, -15] Stop using idols for your politics! Disgusting!
- [+178, -2] Did Michael Jackson ever get appointed as special envoy for the US? Only our country has a president who is lacking to this level that he's using BTS for his politics.
