Political
BTS have often been used for political purposes in China due to their popularity. In 2020 during a speech member RM made at the Korea Society for promoting U.S.-Korean relations, he stated, "“We will always remember the history of pain that our two nations shared together and the sacrifices of countless men and women.” The Chinese Communist Party used his statement for political purpose, using newspapers controlled by the party to point out he did not mention the lives China lost when backing the North. BTS related items began getting pulled from stores as a result. The attack lasted less than two days before the press began to quietly redact the statements they put out due to backlash.

In Japan, BTS and girl group Twice were invited in 2018 to perform at popular show Kōhaku Uta Gassen. Both appearances were cancelled without warning, citing afterwards it was because of BTS member Jimin wearing a T-shirt in 2017 that depicted the atomic bomb detonating, among text celebrating Korea's liberation from Japanese rule during World War II because of this event. It was questioned why the ban was only happening now, as the incident happened in 2017 and BTS were allowed to peform in December 2017 at Japan Music Station Super Live. At a later date, the true reason for the ban was revealed. It was because the Korean supreme court ruled that Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. needed to compensate four Koreans for forced labor during wartimes. A member of BTS, RM, had also tweeted about Korea's liberation day from Japan at that time adding to the fodder.
