On Sept. 24 KST, The Chases star Anne Hegerty posted a tweet, saying, ŌĆ£All this about a little Korean boy band thatŌĆÖs fundamentally not important?ŌĆØ which went viral (in a bad way) on Twitter. This remark was made after BTSŌĆÖs speech at the 75th UN General Assembly was released. At the time, The Economist senior editor Anne McElvoy wrote ŌĆ£Please NoŌĆØ in response to the news, which sparked a hot debate. McElvoy later apologized for her remarks, writing: ŌĆ£My earlier tweet about BTS was in jest and IŌĆÖm sorry it was taken the wrong way. Apologies.ŌĆØ https://twitter.com/anne_hegerty/status/1309063396172746757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1309063396172746757%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.yahoo.com%2Fthe-chases-anne-hegerty-bts-081524007.html However, Anne Hegerty answered to the post with her problematic response, enraging the ARMY around the world, as well as many Asians who felt the discrimination in her writing. Here are some of the responses.
