"Seriously, it's only our country [Korea] that mistreats them. Why are they like this when it's our country that benefits from [BTS}? When you guys come back from the army, please don't get used by anyone and live however you guys want. As a fan of BTS, I'm getting really sick of this nation (Korea)."

"The fact that they even reported on [BTS's] economic influence."

"BTS will remain a legend forever."

"I really can't understand why they have to go to the military when the military is just a place where you waste your time."

"Please don't use these cultural artists for your own national events, and use the people you let off from the military."

"It's amazing that global news is reporting on BTS's military."
