Dianggap Promotions Homoseksual, Billboard Jungkook BTS In Pakistan Dicabut

JAKARTA - A billboard featuring Jungkook BTS was removed from the streets of Pakistan after it was deemed to be promoting homosexuality.

On September 1, a K-pop fan rented an advertising space in the Gujranwala area, Pakistan to celebrate his idol, Jungkook BTS's 24th birthday.

This vertical-sized billboard features Jungkook and his 24th birthday. This billboard was created by a group of BTS fans who call themselves “Jungkook BTS Gujranwala ARMY”

After the billboard was posted, many fans visited the venue and took photos to share on social media.

Unfortunately, the local community decided to remove the billboard within a few hours. Citing VICE today, September 6, Furqan Aziz Butt, a candidate for DPRD member and member of the Jamaat-e-islami party removed the ad after receiving numerous complaints.

“Lots of commotion. There are many young people in this city. This group (BTS) has a negative influence on them and encourages them to do wrong things. They promote homosexuality," he said.

The politician was confused by the billboards placed in their city. “They don't have a brand or sell products here. The people who install it call themselves Gujranwala ARMY. There are only Pakistani soldiers here."

Hearing this response, fans created the hashtags #PakBTSAMRYsAreStrong and #PakistanLovesBTS on social media. Fans who called them Pakistani BTS also suppressed the donation action which was also carried out.

Meanwhile, BTS has just received a Guinness World record for collecting 23 awards in the world of music and social media. Their names are also featured in the annual Hall of Fame publication report.
