One of the commentators called the group "Chinese", and then another commentator made that small eye gesture, which is considered a racial discrimination.
And AFAIK, the group demanding an apology is an American fan group, not a Korean one. Regardless of nationality or race, these idol fandoms are pretty vicious, so it's best to avoid offending these idol groups.
The radio people said that BTS was trying to be North American which was not racists at all.
Even if the radio people said that BTS was nothing more of a cheap backstreet boys knockoff. You have fanboyz screaming for racial stereotyping.
I don't see any small eye jokes but what I saw was a woman talking about BTS were trying to make themselves looked Asian mixed with White.
He never mentions any small eye but the radio show host mention BTS had surgery to look like North America mixed with Asians.
Confusing someone of another nationality is disrespectful in the professional world. In this case, it's like saying East Asians all look the same.
