Is BTS Insulting Islam Viral Adhan in Remix? This is the explanation
Excited with the background sound on one of the South Korean television programs Mnet. And now suddenly viral attacks by Indonesian netizens, is it true that BTS is suspected of insulting Islam?
Conflicts over SARA, Insults over religion are very sensitive themes. This will apply the same wherever you are. Especially in the area of our country which is thick with YME’s divinity.
This is also what makes a lot of K-Pop or the term for K-Pop fans angry. Even though their idol is a hotly talked about suspect.
So, what really happened? Is the netizen’s guess true? Or is it just a misunderstanding? In order to be able to answer this, it is better if we thoroughly examine the case.
If you open social media like TikTok, you must have seen the video footage of the alleged harassment of Islam. Mimin herself has seen the video and was honestly a little surprised. However, as a good citizen, Mimin will find out the truth.
Why MNet BTS Go Viral?
First of all, we must find out first what and why this can happen. There can’t be smoke without a fire, right?
That’s how the term heated up for viral hashtags like #adzanbukamainan, #Mnetapologiz and #mnetdisrespectadzan.
So what triggers the anger of netizens, especially Indonesian Kpoper? It turned out that in one of the Mnet BTS video footage, netizens realized that there was a remixed call to prayer in the backsound of the video.
Surely this is considered very inappropriate, right? Because, the call to prayer is an attribute of Islam that is used to start prayer times.
It’s unethical to use it for the backsound of a video, to sing, let alone remix it. However, how did MNet BTS actually respond? Are they on purpose? Or do they not know? Or did netizens guess wrong?
Is it true that KPOP insults Islam?
Let’s take another look at the video clip. It is believed the video came from an MNet program called Street Woman Fighter.
Where the event will show the tenacity of 8 women who will fight to be the first. So, why did the video in the event use a remixed call to prayer background?
The sound actually came from the opening video which sounded faintly like the sound of the call to prayer. Although not very clear because it has been edited and remixed.
However, there are still those who pay attention to it. And after further research, there are many netizens who agree with this statement.
They agreed it was the sound of the call to prayer! So don’t be surprised if hashtags on bags appear and suddenly go viral. Like a trending hashtag on Twitter that takes place from September 8, 2022.
However, we are still waiting for MNet’s clarification, right? Well, the discussion is in the article below.
BTS Allegedly Insulting Islam
Apparently, the viral hashtags received a response from MNet. This is known from their official Instagram account, namely @mnet_dance.
MNet expressed regret and apologized for the background sound in the opening video at the event. It also stated that it would change and would not use the background sound in the future.
You need to know that MNET is a television station and BTS is a boy band, they both have nothing to do with anything at all. Why can many people ask that BTS insults the call to prayer? Actually BTS is synonymous with Korea and we both know that, while Indonesians immediately look for keywords with BTS whether it insults Islam, even though the music video that allegedly contains the call to prayer is Street Woman Fighter Intro launched by MNET. And from that incident, Mnet is now apologizing. So don’t get me wrong if BTS did this, okay?
So, is it true that they are trying to insult Islam? Because they have apologized. So, as religious people who have tolerance, it is better for us to try to forgive.
Let’s just say that MNet BTS accidentally and did not know that it was the sound of the call to prayer. Where the voice should be a sacred voice.
