This proves they created this category specifically to exclude BTS from the main categories after Arirang’s success, then changing it once they decided to boycott. Not them admitting xenophobia in broad daylight.
please this was so cute namjoon couldn't stop laughing over his pikachu hat and jungkook made him laugh even more
🐨: guys— [laughs]
🐰: pika pika 🥰
🐨: [dies of laughter]
I know we say it all the time, but these types of slip-ups would've ruined their entire day back in 2017, so I get so happy seeing BTS laugh it off like no big deal and get back up.
