BTS Get “Canceled” By Their Own Fans For Being “Haters”

BTS is on the verge of getting “canceled” after their latest concert.

The boy group, which is currently on the US leg of their ARIRANG World Tour, recently performed at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada.

The wait is over!!!

Their current concert format includes an encore section where a DJ plays random BTS songs that the members then have to perform spontaneously, without any prior rehearsal or practice. The songs are randomly selected by the DJ, and hence, every stop gets a different setlist.

During their first night at Allegiant, BTS’s DJ started playing “Permission to Dance,” and the camera caught RM and Jungkook’s faces scrunching funnily.

The clip immediately spread on social media, with ARMYs joking that the two probably “hated” the song, and hence reacted that way. Some also jokingly talked about “canceling” BTS for being “PTD haters.”

“PTD is shite & I don’t want the DJ to spin it” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when 2 voices speak and command silence from the room.

“She’s right,” they say. I look for the owners of the voices. There in the 5th row stands Namkook themselves.

However, the clip also sparked some serious discourse, with many speculating that the reaction was probably due to the members being aware that some of their own fans dislike the song.

OR they know exactly how y’all react to it which is so sad pic.twitter.com/aCJ4dTVULu

I kinda fear they don’t want it because they know the reaction is bad when this plays and not because they don’t like it
