Interviewers Question TO BTS In The US – criticism

“The same 2017 ass question…”

A question from an interviewer to BTS during a recent interview in the US has sparked major backlash from netizens.

The members of BTS

During their time in the US, BTS did an interview for the Elvis Duran Show.

A clip of a question is being spread, with the interviews asking about if the members had tried American fast food and if they had a favorite.

While the question seemed harmless, it sparked a lot of anger due to the nature of the topic.

Fans shared that BTS have been to the US so many times since debuting and would have had fast food many times, and probably spoken about it during early interviews. They added that with so much happening with the members, the question about food seemed inappropriate compared to talking about their music, tour, or other career-related topics, and some even put it down to Americans’ obsession with questions about their food.
