sensitive content German radio station's racist comments towards BTS

[satoori]

BTS made history as the first Korean act to headline 'MTV Unplugged'. One of the highlights of the show was their cover of Coldplay's Fix You. Coldplay themselves praised them too.

Due to BTS’s cover, “Fix You” becomes Coldplay’s best selling song in the digital platforms currently.

However, a German radio host Matthias Matuschik is being criticized for an on-air tirade against the group BTS.

Spoiler

The radio station is Bayern 3 (@bayern3)  and the radio host is Matthias Matuschik (@MMatuschik). They are part of the "Bayrischer Rundfunk" which is a state funded News Organization.

Kmedia has now reported about it and there's a German article too.

Sony, Columbia Records and others are now posting messages condemning racism

#Bayern3Racist 
#RassismusBeiBayern3

Sort of ironic considering FC Bayern (soccer team) has tweeted about Dynamite and previously at BTS before because James Rodriguez is a fan of BTS and especially Jimin. The birthday tweets are cute.
