  I’m a 60 year-old married straight man. Even I know they fucked up by disrespecting BTS and ARMY.

  They flew 22 hours round-trip to perform this short set. To call a fandom with millions of members “losers” is just ignorant.  Also, this is an iHeartRadio station and the first night of this festival had the ratings it did and the audience in person that it did because of BTS and army. Talk about biting the hand that helps feed you!

  He didn&apos;t &quot;accidentally mispronounce&quot; Jungkook&apos;s name. He loudly and exaggeratedly said, &quot;JANG JUKE or whatever the f his name is.&quot;<br>Total disrespect. 👿

  For me, the worst part was his contemptuos attitide to Jungkook&apos;s name. It wasn&apos;t that he mispronounced it, because it can be a difficult name for many English speakers and even Armies sometimes mispronounce it, It was the way he seemingly deliberately mangled it and &nbsp;then just dismissed it with &apos;whatever his name is&apos; while everyone laughed. There&apos;s a big difference between getting an unfamiliar name wrong and treating a Korean name as something ridiculous and not worth the effort. That felt dismissive - both culturally and personally.

  I&apos;m a handicapped adult 58 been with BTS since before they debuted seen them live 14 times live and every single time was like the first time. And I would spend that money again 100 times over BTS Truly brings people together they love us we love them. They saved my life!!! I have been there through all the hate all the bullshit. I will never stop fighting for these 7 men who saved my life and honestly just care so much about humanity and have faced this hatred and racism for years!!!! 💜💜💜💜

  BTS struggled. &nbsp;Worked hard. Donate to many organizations. They performed with &nbsp;injuries. &nbsp;They don&apos;t complain. &nbsp;They respect others. &nbsp;Their music was created about their struggles. &nbsp; They make fans laugh.

  I’m one of those losers and I will never listen to IHeart again. &nbsp;And the DJ all of them need to lose their jobs.

  I only heard of iHeart radio because of BTS. Those nutcase employees who denigrated BTS &amp; ARMY need to be sacked not just &nbsp;for being disrespectful but for their racist and xenophobic banter. This is 2026 I can&apos;t believe they still have programs/commentators like this on air. <br>Thanks for your reaction.

  Whatever they did to mute the audience so it would not show the difference in cheers and audience reaction to BTS. WHATEVER they did to achieve that muted a nd sometimes even killed the backing track on the transmission to radio. &nbsp;Unbalanced the members mikes and earpieces. RM was shouting to be heard over whatever he was hearing in his earpiece. It was so unproffessional.
