Japanese media later reported that Seiell claimed to not know who BTS was prior to releasing his song. He said, “Before I released this song, I didn’t know the existence of BTS. I did not think such a thing could happen. I have received indiscriminate blame and defamation from all over the world. I will take legal action against fans who cause trouble for me.”
7. Map of the Soul: 7 by YEGO
A Brazilian rapper by the name of YEGO was called out by ARMY for copying BTS’s 2020 album from its cover design to its tracklist.
