However, some fans defended BTS, explaining that the group didn’t choose or make the cake, and didn’t make the decision to show it on the show.
That cake wasn’t made or chosen by BTS tho

Since @HateCrave is spreading fake narrative of bts making/having an israeli flag on the cake let me clock it to you that bts has nth to do with that cake. On 22 dec 2015, that cake was sent by a fanbase to the after school club broadcast station and was used as a bg prop +
