“Hello, this is BigHit Entertainment.
We would like to give official feedback on SUGA mixtapes (BTS).
In the mixtape “D-2” songs, there is the song “What Do You Think?” including a sample statement from Jim Jones, selected by the manufacturer, who did not know the speaker and of course had no intention.
After choosing the sample speech for the song, we checked it out according to the procedure, but we made a mistake when we didn’t realize that this was an inappropriate sample.
Although we have gone through the process of checking related issues, we also have shortcomings in understanding cultural, social and historical issues about the sample. We apologize to those who have been hurt or feel uncomfortable about this. After checking again, we immediately deleted the sample and replaced it with a new version.
In particular for SUGA, he himself felt ashamed and felt responsible for an issue he didn’t recognize. We will take this situation as a lesson and learn from experience in the future. ”
Although Big Hit’s apology expressed his sincerity and mentioned the main character is SUGA, Knet is still hard to ignore for him.

1. [+1,395, -423] So all the media hailing about him as a “musical genius” ended up producing the production by someone else?
2. [+1,201, -203] The best way is to apologize quickly.
3. [+961 -329] At least he admitted it quickly and apologized. I am sure that SUGA is extremely disappointed if the speech is actually used without even knowing it.
4. [+242, -30] I realize that BTS never really apologized in person. They always “hide” behind Big Hit haha. They make a mistake and then go back to “hide the mother skirt” * laughs *.
5. [+234, -25] Even students don’t do powerpoint in such a reckless manner … How can you insert a speech just because you think it “fits the vibe” song “without bothering to check the source or who speaks?
6. [+221, -24] He was so proud when he introduced the album? Now why would Big Hit apologize on my behalf? If he really considers himself an artist, he should apologize personally. It is impossible to blame another manufacturer.
