JAKARTA - The host James Corden received an 'attack' from BTS fans called ARMY but everything had a cause. It is known that this is related to the group's appearance at the UN General Assembly on Monday, September 20.

Initially, James Corden hosted his show, The Late Late Show With… by providing the latest news around the world, one of which was the United Nations General Assembly.

“The General Assembly of the United Nations begins this morning in New York. And it started with some unusual guests: BTS was there, BTS went to the UN," said James Corden.

Furthermore, Corden said something that was considered demeaning to BTS. He likened the UN Secretary to a 15-year-old girl or one of the age levels of fans of the HYBE shade group.

“World leaders have no choice but to take BTS seriously. BTS has one of the biggest ARMY on Planet Earth. It made history because 15-year-old girls wished they were like Secretary-General Guterres," he said.

Those words turned out to make BTS fans feel offended. They think that James Corden looks down on their idol even though fans know Corden's relationship with BTS is very good.

James Corden also got the nickname Papa Mochi from one of the BTS members, Jimin. As a result, they asked Corden to remove the name from his Twitter bio.

James Corden immediately occupied a trending topic on Twitter filled with disappointed tones from ARMY. Also, the official video has been removed from Corden's YouTube channel.

"Remove Papa Mochi's name from your bio," said one netizen.

"It's a shame that someone who we thought was a friend of BTS actually spoke like this," said another.

BTS attended the United Nations General Assembly as special envoys for the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in. They talked about the younger generation who lost their time to develop in the midst of a pandemic but gave a message of encouragement to keep doing whatever it takes.
