Bulgarian TV show under fire for racist and xenophobic comments towards Koreans

Posted by simonmana-119 pts Thursday, April 30, 2020

In a recent Bulgarian TV show "Kato dve kapki voda" where people imitate other celebrities. One of the contestants had the role ofJimin of BTS and had to preform Boy With Luv.

Before the performance the MCs of the show had some "fun" with Korean culture mentioning North Korea and the Rising sun. Jimins sexuality and his hair. 

Part 2 contains suicide jokes as well as misgendering Jimin

This all aired on monday the 27th in prime time tv. On one of the largest tv stations in the country. Akin to MBC, SBS or KBS.

Later in the week. The shows producers defended the move saying:

"The reactions are exagerated, its just humor

"The show is funny and we joke about everything"

"While fans may be hurt, we dont plan on apologizing"

As if this was not enough racism they also have done black face on the regular.


ARMY have started sending emails to Big Hit in hopes of legal action being taken towards the show.

Thanks to @yerisdairy_  for translating the segment, as a native speaker i can confirm it's accurate.
