The cast of Mi Barrio, a comedy program, recently delivered insensitive “jokes” while dressed as parody versions of BTS’s members. The jokes mentioned vaccines, alluded to North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, and mocked the faux-BTS’s language abilities.

After Chilean ARMYs shared the clip, it quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons, making headlines around the world. Fans demanded an apology, claiming the parody was racist and xenophobic. Following the initial backlash, Mi Barrio mentioned viewers’ criticism on Instagram but did not apologize for the performance.

Thank you everyone for the good vibes! We’ll continue improving, learning, listening, and we’ll remain firm in our intention: to bring fun to families. We collect all positive comments and also the critics, because that’s what we’re for: contribute a little with humor and fun.
