The majority of Korean ARMY (BTS' fandom) are expressing their concerns over the group working with a Japanese music producer.
Earlier on September 13, it was reported that Japanese music producer Akimoto Yasushi is writing the lyrics of BTS' new Japanese title track 'Bird'.
Akimoto Yasushi is a renowned producer in J-pop industry, who produced the popular Japanese girl group system AKB48.
In the past, he was in the center of controversy by using the Rising Sun flag―the symbol of Japanese imperialism―for the AKB48's performances.
The fans are temporarily halting their support for BTS until the agency provides a proper statement regarding the issue.
