@iHeartRadio Disrespecting the very people who showed up and packed your festival from day one, then calling them “losers” simply because they complained about sound issues — issues that were also pointed out by people outside the fandom — is completely unacceptable. Instead of acknowledging the criticism, explaining what happened, or simply apologizing, you chose to attack the people who attended and supported your event.
But dragging Jungkook into this and mocking his name crosses another line entirely. He traveled nearly 12 hours specifically to perform at your festival, went on stage for barely 15 minutes, and still gave it everything he had as the professional he is. Using his name as a joke when he had absolutely nothing to do with those complaints is incredibly disrespectful. Deliberately mocking a Korean name can also play into racist and xenophobic stereotypes that a media outlet should know better than to normalize.
This is also disrespectful to BTS as a whole. For years, they have always shown nothing but professionalism, kindness, and willingness to participate in iHeartRadio shows and events. Whenever they have been invited, they have given their time and treated everyone with respect. The very least they deserve in return is that same respect.
We demand a public apology from @TheWoodyShow to BTS, and especially to Jungkook, for mocking his name. We also expect iHeartRadio to address what happened and take it seriously. Criticism about problems at an event can be addressed and explained. Insulting your own audience and turning one of the artists who showed up for your festival into the punchline is not an acceptable response.
the armys who actually listen to bts. who don't just use their activism as bragging rights, KNOW that bts been speaking on gender equality in and outside of schedules. hold these men to their own standards
“eu não sou uma vítima. ed sheeran não é uma vítima. pink não é uma vítima. nós temos carreiras, dinheiro, oportunidades, segurança e público ao redor do mundo. qualquer consequência que enfrentarmos pelo que dissermos, nós ainda podemos ir pra casa para nossas famílias. as vítimas são os palestinos” macklemore foi gigante aqui
Ontem o Chris Brown foi reconhecido pelo congresso americano com título de respeito, hoje o Maclkemore foi banido de 7 estádios americanos por simplesmente dizer "Palestina Livre"
Esse país é doente....
Kicking the ‘don’t commit genocide’ guy off your tour because it upsets the people who support the genocide is actually a blatant display of taking sides. There’s nothing neutral here, not even close.
So just to summarize, venues will gladly host the racist slur-loving Morgan Wallen, repeated abuser Chris Brown, and proud Nazi supporter Kanye on tour, but draw the line at free speech they dislike? Cool. Cool. Cool.
serial woman beater chris brown & diddy defender usher get honored by a congresswoman & macklemore gets dropped from a tour bc he said free palestine. what a fucking world we live in lmao.
so you’re telling me macklemore gets dropped from an entire tour for saying “free palestine” which is completely harmless but artists like chris brown who are known woman abusers can still perform at stadiums and hump girls on stage to thousands of people and that’s considered completely normal? this industry is so messed up
chris brown can routinely beat the shit out of people, usher can defend diddy, and kanye can literally go on a nazi world tour and venues will gladly host them, but you call for people to stop being murdered and raped and suddenly it's "oh no, can't have that!" #ok
@PopBase all grown ups that watched the show as kids would still watch the reboot today. it was so good and idk what tf is wrong with these producers. it would be a HIT

🐰 Oh, mother and father, *bows* thank you for giving birth to me. Thanks to you, I'm having a happy life. I'm too shy to say this to you on the phone or in a message. I love you.
🐰 I'm sure my mom and dad will see this as a clip. When they see it, they'll let me know.
