Here’s Why BTS Jimin Is Getting Hate After His Recent Instagram Live!
While some accused BTS Jimin of being insensitive, others defended him, saying that the backlash was unnecessary and had been blown out of proportion.
BTS Jimin is facing a storm of backlash after a recent live broadcast, where his actions sparked accusations from some fans. The controversy began when fans noticed him eating McDonald’s during his recent live broadcast. For the unversed, the fast-food is currently on the BDS boycott list due to its alleged involvement in the Gaza conflict, leading to the wide criticism online. While some accused him of being insensitive, others defended him, saying that the backlash was unnecessary and had been blown out of proportion.

In addition to other BTS members’ acts linked to the genocide and brand boycotts, Jimin received significant outrage and dissatisfaction for publicly eating the brand on a live broadcast in front of a large audience.

One user commented, “Got so happy clicking on Jimin’s live notification seeing that he was STILL alive after an hour and then I read the comments and found out he’s eating a McDonald’s. I still don’t get why they don’t care about Palestine, guess I need to stop being that happy abt seeing them,” while another said, “As Armies, we are very much disappointed in you, pls don’t consume or promote McDonald’s. We need you to stand with humanity.”
The army members also defended him, saying that the comments he saw were not explicitly about McD. There were a lot of individuals asking him about diets and to eat properly, so he reacted that way. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know.
