BTS Apologizes After A Photo Resurfaces Of A Member With A Nazi Symbol Hat
The K-pop group BTS is apologizing for a hat worn in a photoshoot which included a Nazi symbol. The photo goes back to a 2015 photoshoot for which they blame the stylist for the choice of accessories.
Hollywood Life says the hat with the Nazi symbol was in no way intentionally chosen for the shoot, and they regret it. This matter is coming up again because of another more recent misstep.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is critical of several BTS members for “wearing hats with the Nazi SS Death Head logo.” Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the director of the group Global Social Action, also demanded an apology from the Korean-based pop group.
The group’s management company, Big Hit Entertainment, released a statement about what they are calling an oversight.
