K-Netizens React To SUGA's Explanation Of Why He Couldn’t Perform In China

There is no denying that K-pop has a very large influence globally and is also a part of helping to promote culture and even pave the way for ḳöŕệä's economy and politics to reach the world. But also because of these influences of K-pop music and artists, the Beijing central government was very concerned that it would have a profound effect on Chinese culture.

Therefore, over the years, as an implicit rule, K-pop artists are not allowed to promote or hold concerts or fan meetings in this country. Even SUGA recently spoke out about the situation after fans hoped he would hold a concert here.

Before SUGA's answer about Kpop artists not being able to hold concerts in ¢нιиα, ḳöŕệän netizens had many reactions:

Over the years, BTS has held concerts in many countries around the world. Each tour of the group can stop in about 30 cities and countries around the world. However, not a single concert was held in a Chinese city.

Likewise, SUGA recently went on a world tour as a solo artist in more than 20 cities. He is doing the rest of his tour in Asia and most recently stopped in Thailand.

After performing his last concert here, SUGA had an online fan meeting on Weverse Live - where he received a hope from Chinese fans that he would come to the country to hold a concert. hold concerts. Contrary to fans' expectations, SUGA frankly said that he couldn't do a concert there, regarding the Beijing government's Kpop Ban.

SUGA then revealed that due to political reasons, most K-pop artists cannot perform in ¢нιиα. Even if in a K-Pop group today, there are ḳöŕệäns, Chinese and members from different nationalities, they cannot promote together in ¢нιиα.

He explicitly mentioned: “Everyone, it isn’t possible for me to perform in chínα. In one K-Pop group these days, there are кσяєαns, Chinese, and members from different nationalities. I’ve seen instances where the Chinese members are allowed to work in chínα, but the group itself is not allowed to".

The way SUGA clearly pointed out the reason that not only him but also all the other K-pop artists could not perform in Beijing caught the attention of K-netizens. Many people praised SUGA for exposing ¢нιиα's ban on ḳöŕệän artists.

Along with that, many people praised SUGA for his courage to speak up as well as his ability to explain to fans his situation without causing misunderstandings. Not every K-pop artist can speak out about this and SUGA still proves his amazing ability to response:

- This is soмєтнing only BTS members can say. It’s so refreshing to hear him reveal ¢нιиα’s ḳöŕệän ban.

- Wow, he explains well so that international fans don’t misunderstand him. This topic could have landed him in so much controversy. I am a fan of another group, but it’s so refreshing to hear him say that.

- He tells it like it is because (BTS) does not rely on ¢нιиα to sell most of their records. He’s so cool.

- Why do I like him so much? He’s been showing up on my feed for two months straight… Maybe it is because he’s on tour, but each video is similar but different, LOL. Have I become a fan? LOL.

- I really like how Suga is so good at talking about uncomfortable topics, like the time he talked about the music program.

- Why is BTS so cool? Stop being so cool. I’m not a fan, but I’ve been secretly watching your videos more often.

- Seriously, Yoongi нιтs the spot. Although he seems like he’s talking without much consideration, he is actually talking very nicely, LOL. He’s so mushy towards ARMY and is the member who puts up with our antics best, LOL. He’s so soft when it comes to his fans and his members, LOL. He’s gracious and so cool.

-  I think he spoke well while not offending Chinese fans… It’s not like he said he didn’t want to go. I think he spoke about the situation in ¢нιиα in a way that fans wouldn’t be upset.

Meanwhile, there's been some good news for K-pop fans in ¢нιиα lately. Those are some of the K-pop artists that have been invited to perform for the upcoming Tencent Music Awards event. What's more, according to news reports, ¢нιиα has recently started accepting visa applications from ḳöŕệän artists.

Therefore, in the near future, it is likely that ḳöŕệän artists will find it easier to appear in this country or even hold concerts in ¢нιиα.
