Imagine being a company as big as @iHeartRadio and somehow thinking mocking your own audience and dragging an artist who had NOTHING to do with your technical failures was a good look.
@TheWoodyShow - Jungkook’s name is not your punchline. He travelled for hours, showed up, performed professionally and did his job. Your event’s technical issues have absolutely nothing to do with him.
And calling the very people who paid, attended and supported your event “losers”? Bold choice. 🙃
@iHeartRadio , @TheWoodyShow - this isn’t something you get to brush off with silence or a generic PR response.
We expect accountability: a public acknowledgment of what was said, a clear apology to Jungkook and BTS, and an apology to the ARMYs who were disrespected.
You invited the audience. You took their money. You owe them basic respect.
Now own it.
Apologies to BTS JUNGKOOK and ARMY
You can explain the 15-minute BTS set. You can explain the pre-agreed schedule, TV broadcast restrictions and compensation. You can even criticize ARMYs for comments you found unreasonable.
But what you cannot do is use that as an excuse to disrespect the artists themselves.
Deliberately butchering Jung Kook’s name, twice, followed by “whatever the fuck his name is,” while discussing one of the biggest artists in the world, is not criticism. It is disrespect.
And calling an entire fandom “losers” and “conspiracy theorists” because of comments made online by some fans is neither professional nor reasonable.
ARMY is a global fandom of millions of people. The people who expressed frustration online do not represent every single person in the fandom.
If the facts were simply that BTS had an agreed 15-minute slot because of the show’s production requirements, then say that. Explain the scheduling. Explain the format. Explain the circumstances. Most people can understand that.
Instead, #thewoodyshow chose to ridicule an entire fandom and, more importantly, showed blatant disrespect toward the artists themselves. The other hosts had multiple opportunities to push back or redirect the conversation, but they participated instead.
@iHeartRadio and @TheWoodyShow owe BTS and their fans an apology.
Criticism is one thing. Disrespect is another.
We demand respect for BTS.

Send the clip, exact quotes, timestamps and broadcast date. Spell out the racism and any sexist remarks. Ask what iHeartMedia is going to do about it, request the show be taken off air.
We can demand accountability without giving him the engagement he wants.
Cause for me personally, none of the other apps matched TV Time vibes of community, reviews and tracking. Many apps had some features but none had what I wanted entirely like TV Time did. You’ll be missed. Thank you TV Time.
After almost 13+ years of using TV Time, I’m absolutely sad about it shutting down forever. It’s been one of my fav apps to track shows and movies. I have tried so many other apps, and it just made me realise that maybe I’m not a big fan of change
방탄소년단 제발요 😭🙏 저희 진짜 이렇게 빌고 있어요 💜💜💜
아미가 Louder Than Bombs를 얼마나 사랑하는지 여러분이 생각하는 것보다 훨씬 더 커요 😭💜
LOUDER THAN BOMBS 월드 투어 고정 세트리스트 제발요 📢📢📢
#BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG#bts#louder_than_bombs
아미들은 이 노래를 진짜 너무너무 사랑해요. 정말 미칠 정도로 좋아해요 😭💜 이런 명곡을 만들어 놓고 발매 이후 단 한 번도 라이브로 들려주지 않으셨잖아요 😭😭😭
그런데 드디어 지난 공연에서 Louder Than Bombs를 서프라이즈 곡으로, 발매 후 처음으로 라이브 무대에서 불러주셨다니… 😭💔💜
