Well they are resting and spending time with their families as they should. Tour could be really exhausting for the artists

Yes, there are businesses who aren't corrupt it just sucks that fifa is one of the most corrupt? Even if all companies are corrupt it doesn't mean we should make it the status quo

It won’t become a new status quo cos Billions of fans alr tune in every single time. Unless they all boycott nothing changes. It’s seen as an event where billions coming tgt to celebrate soccer.

I didn’t say it was. I was trying to say moral policing BTS and trying to hold to a higher standards here is useless

But bts have an image to uphold, they have power to influence the public. They need to use it wisefully. That's all I'm saying.

I just think participating in fifa is going against their morals. I'm not gonna argue with someone who thinks I'm cancelling them though. Have fun watching their performance when it's time!

Okay.

Quote from Ves

I understand your objection and you have every right to it. They got invited to open a ceremony celebrating a huge symbol of international cooperation. I am of the opinion that the symbolism and benefits of the exposure will ultimately outweigh those concerns as they will still stand for what they did before.

I can understand why people think of the symbolism first when it comes to fifa. But I've grown up in a football family, when I think of fifa I think of geopolitics and government propaganda. I do not think the symbolism of international corporation outweighs the 6,500 workers dead from building the stadium and the lack of human rights the host country has. I hope bts uses this power for good, but idk what good it'll do. Cover up the abuses Qatar has done?

Sorry for getting political, I just hate fifa with a passion.
