On social networks, the BTS logo has become a trending topic due to it being copied by Birmingham City FC. In recent days, it was shared in a new post about the club, causing great controversy among the K-Pop group fandom around the world.
On January 29th, the official Twitter account of the soccer team shared a new post with the sticker ‘soon’, which is the same BTS logo changing the ‘BTS’ letters for ‘PSH‘, receiving a great storm of criticism and confusion from the group’s fans.
Later, the professional football club welcomed Paik Seung Ho to the team with a contract of two years, becoming the first South Korean soccer player to represent Birmingham City FC, which was celebrated on social networks.
