#BTS Falls Prey to Chinese Netizens' Attack
BTS, a Korean boy band representing the success of K-pop around the world, was named the winner of the James A. Van Fleet Award 2020 by The Korea Society in the United States on October 7, 2020. The band was credited as one of the reasons for the closer relationships between South Korea and the U.S.
In their acceptance speech, BTS mentioned that 2020 marks 70 years after the Korean War: "We will always remember this painful history shared by our two countries and the countless men and women who sacrificed their lives".
However, this speech by BTS provoked many Chinese netizens, who condemned BTS for "humiliating China". Posts attacking BTS surged in China. A comment posted on a social media platform that read, "Get lost, BTS is dead" garnered over 1.66 million 'likes' and over 36,000 comments in China.

Dr #LiWenliang died because #CCP tried to shut him up. Later they mourned him, hailed him as a national hero. But old habits die hard, CCP is still jailing journalists for speaking the truth. Empiricism and Truth are threats to a tyrant, lose the illusion that CCP will ever change and democratize.
