About the BTS Interview
During a chat on the Elvis Duran Show. The interviewer asked the members if they had tried any American fast food, and if they did, what was their favourite. And while the question seemed innocent to many at first, it sparked much criticism due to the nature of the topic. Fans said that BTS had been to the US multiple times since their debut and must have had fast food many times, and had also spoken about the same in their early interviews. They also stated that with so much happening with the members, a question about food seemed odd.
