Sorry, but didn't he say the same about BTS on his own live? Every day I understand why 90% of Taehyung's friends are from outside the K-pop industry. I'd do the same.

The Beatles revolutionized music, BTS introduced a whole new industry to the global stage, Taylor Swift fought corporate exploitation and changed the game for artists rights. Name ONE thing these girls have done for the industry that makes them worthy of the title “paved the way”

Many fans defended San in the comments but the backlash has garnered a lot of attention.
