A recent social media post by Japanese outlet Share News Japan has sparked outrage for targeting BTS leader RM.
The post features a clip from a 2013 Korean variety show where RM, dressed in traditional Korean clothing hanbok and sings the song “Dokdo is Our Land.” Share News Japan mocked the scene, claiming, “BTS leader wears comfort women’s clothes and sings ‘Takeshima is Korean territory.’” Here, comfort women refer to those who were forced to engage in sexual activity with Japanese soldiers as part of a system of brothels operated by the Imperial Japanese Army in its occupied territories between 1937 and 1945.
