[이데일리 스타in 윤기백 기자] After China, this time it’s Germany. A German radio host is controversial as he makes racist comments about the group BTS (BTS).

On the 25th (Korean time), Matthias Matuskik, the host of the German radio show ‘Bayern3’, announced that BTS covered British rock band Coldplay’s ‘Fix you’ on MTV’s ‘Unplugged Presents’ performance.

Matthias Matusukik said, “I’m an atheist, but this is blasphemy” on the cover stage of BTS. “It’s paradoxical that little pisss sing Coldplay’s ‘Fix You.’ Because of this, BTS will spend 20 years on vacation in North Korea.”

Matthias Matusukik also said: “BTS is an abbreviation for ‘coronavirus'”.

He also said, “I don’t have a feeling of resentment in Korea” and “I also drive a Korean car.”

Upon encountering this, BTS’s ARMY fandom immediately revealed their displeasure. Through SNS (social networking service) like Twitter, the phrase “ We are against racial discrimination ” together with hashtags like “ RassismusBeiBayern3 ” and “ Bayern3Racist ” strongly protests against Matthias Matusukik.

Following the controversy, Bayern 3 said via the website, “Matuskik is only expressing a personal opinion on the cover of BTS ” Fix You ‘”. “I am honest about the fact that many people think your comments are racist. We apologize.”

BTS appeared on MTV’s ‘Unplugged’, which aired on the 24th. On this day, BTS sang ‘Life Goes On’ and ‘Dynamite’, followed by Coldplay’s cover of ‘Fix You’. The stage got hot enough to rise to the top of popular YouTube videos. In particular, original songwriter Coldplay received much more attention by praising “Beautiful BTS” through SNS.
