A social media post by a fan who claimed to be in the same flight as BTS, as they flew to the US for their upcoming concert and performances, has caused a major controversy. The fan posted on Instagram that while group member Park Jimin was seated in Business class, all the other BTS band members were flying first class. Soon the post went viral and Army was enraged by the discrimination towards Jimin.

The post read, “Although many of you might be jealous that I flew on a plane with BTS and was able to reach them…I am currently regretting my choice not to buy a first class ticket. If it was, I would have been able to see the members during the full 11-hour flight. However, I noticed that Jimin was in business class (Prestige) and I purposely entered the bathroom a hundred times just to see him."
