BTS becomes victim of ridicule from Mexican show hosts.

On the 4th (local time), the entertainment program "Chismorreo" on Mexico's Multimediadios Channel 6 recently addressed the issue of ticket sales for BTS's Mexico City world tour. While the initial intent was to gauge public reaction to ticket sales unfairness, such as the lack of seating charts and opaque fees, the conversation soon devolved into one-sided ridicule from the cast.

The controversy began with some insensitive remarks from the panelists. Even as BTS videos played on the screen, guest Fabian Lavalle referred to them as "unknown singers," sarcastically remarking, "If I had a 17-year-old daughter, I wouldn't let her cry and complain about concerts like this; I'd make her do her homework."

Luisa Fernanda, a fellow broadcaster, also chimed in. She disparaged fans' judgment by mentioning the high ticket prices, and then launched into a groundless personal attack, saying, "I bet half of you haven't even finished elementary school." The host tried to dissuade them, saying, "Seeing BTS is a dream for kids," but the outburst continued.

Even considering the show's history of provocative gossip, this statement was met with widespread criticism, even locally, as "crossing the line." Immediately following the broadcast, Mexican ARMYs took to social media to directly refute the cast's alleged ignorance and bias. [Nate]
