Group BTS (BTS) has been racist on a popular American talk show.

According to local entertainment media TMZ on the 25th (local time), comedian Seth Herzog, the pre-MC of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," told the audience, "Is anyone from North Korea?" before BTS filmed the main broadcast.

In response, some of the audience expressed their displeasure by saying that Herzog's remarks sounded racist.

Herzog asked the audience, but it was also interpreted as a statement aimed at BTS, a South Korean singer, using the expression "North Korea."

As the controversy grew, Herzog reportedly apologized to BTS. Senior broadcasters are also said to have held talks with him about the incident.

Meanwhile, BTS released its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" on the 20th, held a free performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on the 21st and held a comeback show.
