Considering Chris Brown’s past allegations and controversies, netizens were appalled and disgusted by the BTS members attending the show. Not only were they shocked that the members traveled to Canada to see them, but with a majority female fanbase, it seemed tone deaf, and they couldn’t defend the idols. They were also spotted with Usher, who is also controversial.
‘they’re there for the music’ do NOTTTTTT play that bullshit. chris brown is a well known abuser and usher is equally disgusting as well , people have the right to be disappointed in hobi and joon , bc it’s INCREDIBLY disappointing
