ARMY were appalled at the seemingly lacklustre response from the radio station, and once again took to Twitter. This time, however, the situation had grown to concern not only K-Pop fans, but the whole asian community and more.

Thousands of Twitter users called out Matthias’s blatant racism and denounced the idea that this was just a matter of his personal opinion.

Buzzfeed Germany even reached out to Matthias to get a personal statement in response to the matter. He explained that he admired Coldplay as a band, and was upset about the BTS cover of “Fix You”. The nationality of the band didn’t matter to him.

I would have been just as upset (exaggeratedly, because that’s my style) with a German or Transcastanian band.” Matuschick added that he had “underestimated the strength of fans that lurked behind the three letters [BTS].

— Matthias Matuschik

He also went on to describe the fans of BTS as ”fanatical followers of a musical cash machine,” and accused them of having twisted his statements. He also expressed that he found it “out of place” that he was being put in the “currently very popular racism club” for his statements. In contrast with his unapologetic response to Buzzfeed, BAYERN3 and Matthias released an official apology statement that was considerably more contrite just a few hours later.
