Supreme council member Lee Joon-seok: “A concert with BTS in North Korea? BTS is being used in politics”

Lee Joon-seok, supreme council member of the Bareun Mirae Party, criticized Democratic Party of Korea’s congressman Ahn Min-seok for his suggestion of a concert with BTS in Pyongyang, North Korea in September.

Lee posted on his Facebook page saying, “This is how it is to use a celebrity in politics,” along with an article that Ahn plans to hold a concert starring BTS in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea.

On the same day, Ahn Min-seok, chairman of the National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee and chairman of the Millennium Democratic Party’s Special Committee on Culture, Sports and Cooperation, said through a media outlet, “We are going to propel a performance of BTS to celebrate the first anniversary of the Pyongyang Joint Declaration in September.”

“There is nothing we can say about the concert,” said a source from Big Hit Entertainment, BTS’ agency, regarding the issue.

Meanwhile, BTS will continue its “Love Yourself” dome tour in Japan for two days on the 12th and 13th.
