There is a big difference between saying, “BTS isn’t my kind of music” and using dislike of BTS as an excuse to mock, stereotype, or insult the millions of people who support them. No artist has to appeal to everyone. No fandom is beyond criticism either. But when criticism turns into hostility towards people simply because they are ARMY — dismissing them because of their age, gender, nationality, culture, or musical preferences — we should ask ourselves what happened to the values of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging that we so readily celebrate elsewhere. Diversity is not only about accepting people who look different from us. It is also about respecting different cultures, languages, generations, interests and forms of expression. Inclusion means making room for those differences without ridicule. And belonging means allowing people to enjoy something that gives them happiness and connection without making them feel embarrassed or unwelcome because of it. BTS have brought Korean music and culture to audiences across borders, languages and generations. Their fandom is equally diverse — different ages, countries, professions, backgrounds and life experiences, connected by music. You don't have to understand that connection. You don't have to listen to BTS. You don't even have to like them. But respect should never depend on sharing someone else's taste. The music industry, media and entertainment communities should be places where cultural diversity is celebrated, not where stereotypes and hostile attitudes towards artists or their audiences are normalised. Critique the music. Debate the industry. Have different tastes. But prejudice against people because of the music they love? That has no place in an industry built on creativity, diversity and human connection. 💜 #BTS #BTSARMY #ARMY #Diversity #Inclusion #Belonging #Respect #MusicWithoutBorders #StopThePrejudice

If only I can rate it 0. As an Asian descendant, we as a group feel offended by those racist remarks made by their employees. The fake apology means nothing without consequence/ action to those that made those comments on a nationwide radio station. Instead of love for all, they ridicule another race and resort to name calling those that support the very group that always spread positivity. Shame on them, shame on Iheart radio. Me, my family, and all my friend will not support such racist company. Shame on all of you. Army for life 💜💜💜💜

Racists towards BTS and Army. Shame on you all. Don't follow them, because they don't respect artists, fans. They have poor knowledge about music, but very good when call BTS fans loosers - not once...... #racists

You guys r the worst people on the planet making fun at a BTS making fun of armies you guys have no idea no idea what you guys done and you think I apologize that he did with sincere but I'm apology sucked

The host didn’t just mispronounce Jungkook’s name (which is forgiveable) but mocked it because it wasn’t a standard, typical western name. Then he also added “whatever the eff it is”, to indicate his superiority, that a Korean name is dismissive and not worth his time and effort to find out what it is nor correctly pronounce it. THAT is racism! And should be called out for, instead of being spread as acceptable. And how ironic that the show was doing that to the headliner act, that was paid a large fee (so they must have been works it to the company!) and flew 11 hours for the show Then calling an entire fandom as “losers” is derogatory. Large percentage of the audience (in-person and streaming were Army). This loser will be taking her money and attention elsewhere, not at iHeart radio!

Disrespectful and unprofessional behaviour of radio host on woody show towards BTS members and fan base . Poor sound quality at I heart radio festival during BTS performance

Obviously run by a bunch of old white racist men. Iheartradio is a joke.

Racism, no respect for listeners and the artists. Proud to be a "looser". 💜
