Mat Zo Apologizes, Attracts Large Criticism For Anti-BTS, Asian-Directed Tweets
Some issues are higher saved to your self and never shared publicly on Twitter, and Mat Zo realized that yesterday when he started tweeting out criticisms of large Korean pop band, BTS. After calling the band “area of interest within the west,” regardless of having a hefty fan base within the US, he continued to say that the followers on social media appeared “suspicious” and he mentioned there was a “pretend vibe” to all of it.
Many followers and supporters of the band took offense to his statements, calling them racist and he issued a bland apology. He gave the standard “whereas I by no means supposed to harm or offend anybody” spiel, and mentioned he could be “stepping away from social media” with the intention to mirror on his actions.

Dabin, an Asian-Canadian DJ, supplied his personal sentiments on the scenario, saying it “actually sucked seeing a producer I’ve a lot respect for undervalue Korean music like that.”
actually sucked seeing a producer I’ve a lot respect for undervalue Korean music like that. Kpop followers aren’t bots, they’re those filling out stadiums for acts like BTS. Simply since you assume it’s “area of interest” doesn’t imply the followers and help aren’t actual https://t.co/ZxGBp4Zr7Q

In the end, as Mat Zo has apparently “left” social media for a bit, there’s not far more than followers can do on that aspect to interact and even attempt to educate him on the matter, however we’ll see what the scenario is like each time he chooses to re-enter the world electronically.
