A North Korea joke in the year 2026, right after BTS released a song called “Aliens,” is just incredibly disappointing. BTS came to share their music and celebrate their comeback with fans, yet moments like that took away from what should have been a positive and respectful space. It’s even more frustrating considering how many ARMYs were treated with being passed over for selection and placed in a separate room despite there clearly being space for everyone to see the boys perform. It’s incredibly frustrating to see that ARMYs showed up wholeheartedly to support, yet weren’t treated with the same care and respect. @FallonTonight, you should be ashamed for giving a platform to that man to spew racist rhetoric like that, and your production clearly needs to get it together.
The way I was legit psychologically tortured by the Fallon show today. I can’t describe what it like to be in room with people crying while someone else is living your dream down the hall and you are locked away watching it. With no sense of time.
They released a song expressing how alienated and disrespected they felt in the industry, only for their very first show to subject them to a racist remark. Racism isn’t something to joke about, it’s harmful and unacceptable.
and once again i can see how armys speaking up is going to be spun into some sort of ‘deranged parasocial freak fan behaviour’ narrative rather than addressing the fact that a racist “joke” was made on american live television IN THE BIG YEAR OF 2026.
BTS making Aliens about the racism they’ve faced abroad, and it’s honestly sad that even in the big year 2026 this still happens… yeah, this song is made for people like this
Oh I know 7 men who would be furious to know they left ARMYs stranded somewhere after the performance and not being more transparent about it prior to the taping
what do we do when we are angry? stream and get all those records for bts. let’s keep streaming, bts only has us let’s keep pushing for that #1 position. stream the album, buy the album like no tomorrow. we got this.
