Despite the benefits of getting involved in such a big and popular music performance as the 2022 World Cup, several netizens and fans have not stopped sharing her concern on social media due to political and social issues.
For many this is a very risky decision for the idol, because BTS is associated with many causes that go against the Qatar 2022 World Cup, being ambassadors of Unicef and invited to the UN platform.
Others expressed concern that they had been pressured by the agency to appear at the event in order to obtain financial gain. And while many fans support the idol, others express concern about performing alone at such a big event.
