BTS fans have banded together and accused British GQ of making micro-aggressive and derogatory comments against the septet.In their recent November 23 article, British GQ Magazine published its “Most Stylish People On The Planet 2023” list featuring some of the most popular and fashionable celebrities in the world.The only Korean celebrity to feature on the list was G-Dragon, rapper, record producer, and BIGBANG’s leader. While British GQ lavished praise on the talented Kpop idol, many were angered by the unfair and unflattering reference to BTS in the same post.British GQ@BritishGQG-DragonG-Dragon was selling out Seoul stadiums before BTS was even a Petri dish in a K-pop factory farm.

You can celebrate G-Dragon without dragging BTS. Wtf. 2Disgusting British GQ. You can celebrate G-Dragon without dragging BTS. Wtf. 😡 https://t.co/OeHwcowNMnIn their paragraph praising the talented BIGBANG frontman G-Dragon, the British magazine made a very unflattering mention of BTS. ARMYs are offended not only by the micro-aggressive comments made towards the septet but also by the racist stereotypes imposed on the K-pop industry in general.According to ARMYs, the phrase “BTS was even a Petri dish in a K-Pop factory farm,” dehumanizes not only the biggest musical band in the world, but also reinforces the very unflattering and stereotypical lens through which the K-pop industry is often perceived by western media.ARMYs have called out British GQ’s derogatory and demeaning paragraph against the septet. Fans have also pointed out how this remark is a backhanded compliment to G-Dragon as well and did not praise him as lavishly as they had intended to.Fans agree that pitting two K-pop legends against one another is not the right way to go about it, especially in 2022, when the global music industry has become a wonderful space where artists could co-exist with each other.꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ nibby⁷✩‧₊@ZoroMinspetri dish in a kpop factory farm… how far will u go to dehumanize people of color it’s disgusting. twitter.com/britishgq/stat…British GQ@BritishGQG-DragonG-Dragon was selling out Seoul stadiums before BTS was even a Petri dish in a K-pop factory farm.
