K-Pop ARMY Are Angry!
...to consumers who are upset about the portrayal of BTS..you aren’t even acknowledging and admitting how you portrayed them at first place. How such violent portrayal was even approved???! Own up to your actions and properly apologize to BTS and whole Asian community https://t.co/5QxiZArObv

'Apologise to the Asian Community,' Demands Twitter
Don't apologize to us and don't just apologize for including it.
Apologize to the Asian community.
Apologize for letting that shit even leave the brainstorming session.
Donate to Asian organizations and commit to helping make a goddamn difference in the face of your own ignorance https://t.co/sXGhBNrIkT
