Understandable argument. However, it's hard to process how an artist who's also an environmentalist would promote a tool/technology that harms both artists and the environment so openly to millions of impressionable fans. It's not very Kim Namjoon-like.

“RM did not come to celebrate the launch, nor did we discuss specific collaboration plans in this meeting.” Then why was he there? It's illogical to believe that BTS are obligated to attend every single event they're invited to. And he's already posted them to his 50M followers.

Promotion has a larger impact than consumption. You using an unavoidable AI feature (like the auto-translate function in this app) is, surprisingly, not the same as going "Hey everybody! check this out! @/product" to an amount of people that can fill up a country.

Hannah Einbinder is a real one.

Kudos to Kevin and The Boyz. If only their seniors were as courageous.

"Silence is also a statement."

Understandable argument. However, collaborating with Israeli settlers and representing zionist brands is not obligatory to protect said image. They're being verbally silent while siding with the oppressors by their actions.

That is correct. BTS don't speak out against the unjust system anymore because it currently serves them very well. That's simply it.
