US radio stations are airing censored versions of BTS' latest track "Fake Love".

SEE ALSO: BTS is set to perform in the US for the first time in 4 years this week, debuting their new album ‘ARIRANG’


Fans were excited to hear BTS' new hit song "Fake Love" on American radio stations, but they were surprised it was being censored. According to fans, a line in the song's lyrics that refers to the Korean word for "I, Me, Myself", "naega," is being censored.

It's likely"naega" is censored due to its similarity to a derogatory slur against African-Americans in America.

Check out the original "Fake Love" above and the censored clip below. What are your thoughts on the censorship?
