With just about a week left before BTS’s comeback live stage in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, netizens have expressed frustration regarding a recent news report.
In a YTN news clip, they stated that the group would literally be walking down the “King’s Path” for the event.
“It is expected that the members staged a scene as they walked along the so-called ‘King’s Path’, starting at the Geunjeongmun Gate inside Gyeonbokgung Palace and continuing through the Heungnyemun Gate and Gwanghwamun Gate.”

Seeing this, K-Netizens were appalled that they were acting as if they were “kings”.
- “What kind of media play is this? Makes me think…are they kings?”
- “Do they think they are actually kings? LOL.”
- “This is going overboard…”
- “I can’t take this anymore. Who organized this? It’s so cringe.”
- “Is this some national event? Know your boundaries!”
- “Aside from all the controversy, having celebrities use this space for commercial purposes doesn’t look good at all.”
- “The king’s path? Are you serious?”
- “This is seriously too much.”
- “Just take it out…what do you mean using Gyeongbokgung Palace as a runway?”
