BTS: K-drama Tomorrow releases statement after ARMY uproar on Jungkook, V’s names and birthdates in death list

After BTS ARMY erupted in fury over Jungkook and V’s names and birthdates being used in the K-drama Tomorrow in a dead registry, the makers released a statement. The statement read, “(The birth dates on the list) are simply a combination of numbers, and there are no other intentions [behind them].”

Fans who watched the latest episode of Tomorrow closely observed names in a  registry mentioning the people who have died. One of the names on the list, is BTS V’s real name, Kim Taehyung, and the birthdate, 1971.12.30. ARMY reacted as they realised that the makers had used V’s real name and birthdate, even if they had switched the year from 1995 to 1971. One name also featured Jungkook’s birthdate. They took to Twitter to slam the show, calling them ‘disgusting and unprofessional’. They also demanded legal action against the Tomorrow team for using the band members names and birthdates.
