Outrage Erupts as Netizens Accuse Government of Using BTS for Political Gain Amid Jamboree Chaos

A wave of fury and frustration has gripped social media as netizens express their anger over allegations that the government has been using popular K-Pop group BTS for political agendas.

The controversy has been reignited following the chaotic 'K-Pop Super Live' World Scout Jamboree, where BTS was originally rumored to be performing in a bid to elevate national prestige.

These are some comments from netizens in social media platforms:

• “Don't use them like this. They're didn't become singers to be used for your politics!”
• “Glad to see everyone is going crazy over this. This Jamboree is a mess and the singers are just trying to do their best to fix the situation. Does our country even have anything to offer besides our idols?”
• “How is calling singers to sing raising national prestige? That's not what national prestige is. When the state is spending tax money to hold an event where outsiders will be attending, our national dignity is at stake. Outsiders should be putting out praises before we do and when accidents occur it's our responsibility to handle them.”
• “They used BTS for their politics when they sent them to the U.S as UN special envoys too.. Why???”
• “So is their first thought to look for BTS when the country is in jeopardy?!”
• “Now I understand why BTS was reluctant to go the military. I can't tell whether they're celebrities or military officials.”
• “Japan got 130 billion won to host the Jamboree when it was previously held for 35 billion won. They kept asking for more and more and got rejected. Where the hell did they spend all that money??! Throw out and arrest all the officials involved in the event!!”
• “The top ranks covering for each other while the young kids are being called to deal with it and fix the mess”
• “All the politicians involved are the ones that dropped our national prestige and are trying to use others to clean up their poops. We're all watching and asking the same questions.. what happened to the 100 billion won?!”
• “Why does BTS need to raise the national prestige that the government ruined??!”

As the nation grapples with the fallout, questions remain: What was the true reason behind the last-minute substitution? Were New Jeans truly "forced" into the limelight?

And will the truth about the alleged sexual assault crimes come to light, casting an even darker shadow over the world of K-Pop?

Amid the chaos, the venue and schedule were hastily shifted to the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 11th, throwing the entire event into disarray.
