We've briefly touched upon the problems that BTS has faced in the process of becoming the world's biggest music group in a handful of earlier episodes, but there are a lot more layers to this conversation than people think. Join us as we discuss the racism and xenophobia targeted towards BTS, the lack of solidarity from most non-ARMYs, and how BTS' experience fits into the larger issue of anti-Asian discrimination across the globe.
