German radio DJ insults BTS who covered “Fix You”
「Fix You」カバーしたBTSに独ラジオDJが暴言
German radio DJ insults BTS “Fix You” cover → fans furious
★ Fans are raising their voices in anger after a German radio program made racist remarks about BTS.
What is being called into question is a statement made by Matthias, the host of the German radio program Bayern3. BTS, who appeared on "MTV Unplugged," mentioned that they covered a song by British rock band Coldplay's "Fix You," and criticized them as follows. (Fan translation reference)
○Mr. Matthias:
★ "It's the coronavirus. I hope a vaccine will be available soon." "I have no antipathy towards South Korea. It's not like I hate xenophobia. But the reason is Korean boy bands."
“I have a Korean car. It’s a great car…..but BTS did MTV Unplugged. It’s self-contradictory for a boy band to do Unplugged. These idiots did a cover of “Fix You.” I am proudly appealing to you.”
``This is blasphemy. I'm an atheist, but this is outrageous.'' ``For this you will have to spend 20 years on vacation in North Korea.''

When Mathias's remarks were translated and posted on social media, they quickly spread, sparking protests from fans.
In response to the widespread backlash, the program has issued an explanation and apology.
➡I just expressed my personal opinion about what BTS covered.
(That's not what he intended. It's the nature of this show for the host to express his opinions clearly and frankly.)
➡However, I would like to sincerely apologize for his comments, which many people think are racist.
I think it's too bad that Mr. Mathias criticized BTS's cover of the British rock band Coldplay's "Fix You" by calling it (the coronavirus itself), but the moderator said (to make his opinion clear). I can't help but shake my head at the show's attitude that the show's character is to express things openly and honestly.
Is Mr. Mathias a radio DJ who gains popularity by picking up someone's song and making vulgar and vulgar comments every time...? If that's the case, I think it's a little more consistent as a "badly behaved show," but it's probably not. They probably didn't like BTS's cover of Coldplay's "Fix You."
The phrasing, ``I sincerely apologize for what many people think is racist,'' is very small and incoherent.
The reason we can get a glimpse of the current state of the world is because BTS' popularity has spread all over the world. If BTS hadn't come out, I wouldn't have seen or heard of such a vulgar program happening somewhere in the world.
