Even North Korea is crazy about BTS, according to BJ (Broadcast Jockey) Han Song Yi.
On July 12, the North Korean defector BJ guested on MBC FM4U's 'Ji Suk Jin's 2 O'Clock Date'.
During the radio broadcast, Han Song Yi talked about BTS' popularity in North Korea, and said, "I know a broker unnie in China and she said BTS is really popular in North Korea." She added, "They call them Bangtan Bag. It's like a code used to refer to BTS." She explained, "I think an inspection team has been created because of the Hallyu wave. So people use codes to talk (about them)."
