1. It wasn’t “unusual” for BTS to be there. They’ve been 3 times. 2. They weren’t “visiting”. They were Presidental Envoys who were invited to speak. 3. Teen girls are valid, innovative, smart, & set a lot of trends although we aren’t all teens or girls. #JamesCorden pic.twitter.com/5SZLqS3Z7l

1. he knows BTS well and he also knows what prejudes they have to deal with aka can´t be taken seriously because of their fandom
2. just as any discrimination shouldn´t be used for jokes, mysoginy shouldn´t either!
bts: launched the love myself campaign, spoke about hate crimes and racism, donated to many causes both international and local, promoting eco friendly cars as well as culture and art, etc
