“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.

Lauv said, “standing by my @bts_bighit brothers and everyone continuously effected by racist remarks as hurtful as what we heard on Bayern 3. no one should have to endure this and together we must stand up and stop it.”

Halsey, who delivered the hit song Boy With Luv with BTS, posted on Instagram that she is horrified by the comments from Matuschik. She also referred to the ‘apology’ issued by the radio network, saying that Matuschik did not “intend” to be racist or hurtful.

Matthias also slammed BTS for covering ‘Fix You’ by Coldplay, calling it sacrilege and blasphemy. He went on air calling BTS a virus like COVID and said he hoped a vaccine for them would be available soon. BTS fans, collectively known as ARMY, were appalled by the comments and demanded an apology.
