BTS Gets Support From American Artists Halsey, Max, Lauv After German Radio Host's Racist Comment

BTS has gotten a lot of support from American artists after a German radio host went on a racist rant regarding the k-pop boy band. According to Allplacesmap.com, artists such as Halsey, Max, and Lauv are showing their love for the globally renowned K-pop band.

Max posted a lengthy tweet regarding the situation, calling out the radio station for the hate it is blatantly spouting.

"BTS is one of the hardest working and most humble groups in the industry. They deserve all the success they've earned. Hearing such hateful words used against them by the radio host at Bayern 3 made me sick. The hate to them and the Asian community as a whole is unacceptable," wrote MAX, who has collaborated with BTS member Suga on his mixtape.

This tweet has been liked over 260 thousand times. The band Lauv also revealed their support for the Bangtan boys tweeting that they stand by BTS and everyone that is continuously affected by racist remarks as hurtful as what was said about the k-pop band.

The German host, Matthias Matuschik of the radio program "Bayern 3", spoke about BTS's "MTV Unplugged" episode. He was heard calling the band "similar to a virus like COVID-19" and then saying that the band should "go on a 20-year vacation to North Korea."

This has since created pandemonium, with fans of the boy band demanding an apology from the host and the radio station. Just today, the host has issued an apology regarding the words he let go during the program.

Singer Halsey also defended BTS, posting a story on her Instagram, she reveals that she was horrified to read the comments made by Matthias Matuschik. She then pointed out that the racist and xenophobic remarks should not be thinly veiled as "on-air humor."

Currently, Big Hit Entertainment has yet to release a statement regarding the situation.
