BTS 구룹,일본공연이, Jimin의 Nagasaki 원폭장면이 새겨진 T-Shirt 입은것 때문에, 전격 취소됐단다. 파리에서 문통 만나더니.

일본에서 가장 큰 TV 방송국중의 한곳에서 공연하기로 했던 K- Pop 구룹 BTS의 공연이 전격취소됐다는 소식이다.  이유는 구룹멤버중 한명이 2차대전때 Nagasaki에 투하된 원폭이 묘사된 T-Shirt를 입고 공연한 내용이 SNS에 떳기 때문이다.  7명으로 구성된 이밴드구룹은 일본의 Asahi TV에 출연할 계획이었었다.

 BTS Band 정치적 집단이 아닌 순수한 연예와 노래하는 Vocal Group이다. 왜 그런 멍청한 짖을 했는지는 잘 모르겠으나, 지난번 문통이 불란서 방문했을때 공연하더니, 거기서 문통의 정치적 색갈을 본받은것 같은데, 암튼 문통이 손대는 곳마다 잘되는것이 하나도 없구나. 경제를 망쳐 놓더니, 이제는 그나마 외국에서 한국의 이미지를  열심히 심고 다니던  젊은 청년들의 밥그릇까지 깼으니...

문통의 정치적쑈에 한국의 잘나가던 Vocal Group, BTS 의 앞날이 어두어 보인다. CNN에서 보도한것은 그만큼 정치적 색채가, 그들의 본래 영역에서 한참 벗어난 ugly Korean Image를 줬다는 뜻으로 나는 이해한다.

tokyo (CNN)One of Japan's biggest television stations has canceled a performance of the massively popular K-pop group BTS amid allegations that one of the band members wore a shirt that appears to show the atomic bombing of Nagaski.

The seven-member boy band was scheduled to appear on TV Asahi's flagship music program, Music Station, Friday night. The station said in a statement it chose not to feature BTS after speaking with the record company about why BTS band member Jimin had chosen to wear the shirt.

"We deeply apologize the viewers who were looking forward their performance," the station said.

CNN has reached out to representatives for BTS, Big Hit Entertainment, for comment.

The furor was sparked after images surfaced on social media showing Jimin wearing a shirt emblazoned with the phrase "PATRIOTISM OUR HISTORY LIBERATION KOREA" repeated several times, alongside what appears to be an image of a mushroom cloud over the Japanese city of Nagasaki. It was not clear when the photo of Jimin allegedly wearing the shirt was taken, but local news outlets reported the image was from 2013.

Both South Korea and Japan are particularly sensitive when it comes to the legacy of World War II.

The Korean Peninsula was colonized by Japan from 1910 to 1945, and was only liberated after the allies defeated Japan at the end of WWII.

Millions of Koreans suffered under Japanese occupation and their treatment continues to impact relations between Tokyo and Seoul.

Japan, meanwhile, became the only nation to have experienced a nuclear attack when the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagaski killing an estimated 200,000-plus people at the end of WWII.

Though BTS has for years been one of the biggest bands in South Korea and East Asia, their international profile has skyrocketed in 2018.

This year, the BTS became the first K-pop band to win a Billboard Music Award; the first K-pop act to sell out a US arena; and broke the record for biggest music video debut, a distinction previously held by Taylor Swift.
