As an european, this point of view just doesn't sit right with me. I understand that in the west people take a posted picture as a form of symbolism and support, but you have to understand, these guys are koreans. They always took pictures with all the celebrities they've met so far without leaving a single one out. They grew up listening to his music and admiring his work. Try asking any of the korean idols anything about gossip from the west, I guarantee you that they simply don't know. Honestly even if they did (which I can't help but doubt), that guy is still their senior and they have to show him respect like people do in Korea. They were invited by Usher, who they collaborated with in the past. CB was there so they probably payed respect to him as their senior/ old role model and took pictures like they always do with celebrities. Honestly differnt cultures think differently. If it wasn't for this uproar, I wouldn't have many knowledge on this case myself, and if CB came to my country, I would probably go to his concert and take pictures like they did. Here, we have little care for the artists background and simply enjoy the music we listen to in radios. This is why I simply feel like the boys are very wronged right now, and honestly this might be cruel, but if this happened to me I would not apologise. They never abused anybody, nor did they claim directly they support it. Finding correlations where they aren't because of trends from 1 piece of world is very hard to understand for me as someone who travels a lot across continents. It honestly feels very disrespectful, especially when we all know what beliefs do bts stand by. Black ocean, ice, death threats, abuser nicknames.. Very childish, dangerous and uneducated. (sorry for my english)
