EDIT: It looks like they weren’t invited in the first place. Don’t know why the Naver article would say that.

Welp

[Ddeulgi]

Bye bye bts japanese career

It's the best if they didn't go. BigHit had a month to fix this situation but decided to stay silent until it exploded.

Shame on Bighit. 

[Haruwu]

wow.. they were on all 3 attendants list? this is serious, these are the 3 most big end of year music shows, especially kohaku has over 40% viewership rating each year

 

BigHit needs to grow some balls and apologise this could potentially do a looooot more on BTS' japanese career

[hontryx]

Bighit take the L and just apologize

[Feary]

Is twice going?

Just because they got big in US they can ignore Japanese scene. If they end up getting irrelevant in US they have Japan to fall back. Luckily for them Jarmies are hella supportive and loyal.

[pururin]

congratulations bigtit entertainment

[Zamo]

Why would they lol

Bighit shouldn't even have booked them in the first place

[BeatrixKiddo]

Is twice going?

we don’t know yet but the rumor mill said them and bts were both going to be invited this year.

[Yeddong]

Oh mess.

[protoplasm]

Why would they lol

Bighit shouldn't even have booked them in the first place

[KAI PARKER]

Bye bye bts japanese career

[Haruwu]

Why would they lol

[Zamo]

They shouldn't have accepted their invitation then

[Yeddong]

Is twice going?

I don't think TWICE is affected by this, but let's wait for an official announcement.

[Yessey]

we don’t know yet but the rumor mill said them and bts were both going to be invited this year.

After this T-shirt fiasco, I doubt they will invite Twice

[Yeddong]

Bye bye bts japanese career

They still outsold their previous albums.

[doki-doki]

What an honour it would have been for them to perform at Kohaku...:/

twice aren't bts tho lol

[remembering]

Is twice going?

If Twice goes, what will all the people who say its not the shirt say?

Dude, BTS has the best sales out of any K-pop act at the moment in Japan. They sold ~400K on Oricon in just 3 days with their latest single. J-ARMYs are obviously still supporting them during this mess.They have the biggest fandom there too along with TVXQ, Bigbang and SHINee. They can easily sell out domes there and can possibly perform in the Nissan stadium later in the future. They just need to apologize if they ever want to perform on TV so that the general public can see them.

40% of japanese population watch that show , imagine the sales the day after .... BH is a fucked up mess
