Chinese netizens and state media have also made a break for the idol group BTS.

It is said that the BTS agency used a map that did not include South Tibet, a territorial dispute area, in Chinese territory.  

Correspondent Song Wook from Beijing reports.

<Reporter> This

is the 4th quarter earnings report released by BTS and Big Hit Entertainment, the agency of BTS.

The world map was used as a blurry background in the section to introduce the sales status of each country.

However, the Global Times, an English version of the Chinese government-run Global Times, reported that South Tibet was not marked as Chinese territory on this map, so it was being criticized by netizens.

China is claiming territorial sovereignty, calling Arunachal Pradesh, which is effectively ruled by India, South Tibet.

Some netizens raised issues by greatly expanding the borders of the region, and in the comments, "Is it difficult or unwilling to find a good map?" and "This is not the first time that BTS has caused a problem." Came up.

Currently, the background of Big Hit's performance report has been revised to be a map without borders.

BTS was also attacked by Chinese netizens for remarks related to the Korean War last October.

[RM/BTS Leader (October last year): This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, and we must forever remember the history of suffering and the sacrifices of many men and women.]

At the time, the World Times reported the reaction of netizens who claimed that BTS did not respect Chinese soldiers killed in the war, expanding the controversy.

Amid the growing conflict between South Korean and Chinese netizens over recent culture and history, Chinese nationalist media and others are introducing stimulating claims from some netizens one after another, raising concerns.
