A Japanese show is receiving criticism for false reporting.
However, what Jimin actually said at the concert in Japan was, "Due to different situations, I think all of you and many people around the world were surprised and worried." He simply added that the issue is hurtful, but never directly delivered an apology to Japan or the Japanese fans.
On November 18, TBS' 'Leave It to Atko!' reported that BTS' Jimin apologized to Japan for the recent shirt controversy. According to the show, Jimin stated, "I've caused concerns to not only the Japanese fans but fans all over the globe. I'm so sorry to the Japanese fans."

look, setting the situation aside, Jimin is KOREAN. No matter what he has to be on his country's side, even if he's apologetic to his Japanese fans. Of course he loves his fans, but it's a sticky situation, hence BitHit stepped in. This Japanese false reporting... is this legal?
