Despite the controversy, the liberation shirt that�Jimin�wore last year has sold out.
In a 2017 episode of BTS' 'Bon Voyage,' Jimin wore the controversial shirt celebrating South Korea's independence from Japan.�
Just recently, Japanese media brought attention to the shirt Jimin wore in the past show. The headlines turned into a controversy in Japan. Some Japanese netizens fired criticism against the K-pop star and demanded BTS to be banned from Japanese broadcast. As the issue got heated,�TV Asahi ultimately decided to�postpone BTS' scheduled appearance on 'Music Station.'
The boy group was scheduled to perform two songs on the November 9 episode.�
There are some people who are showing great support and praising�Jimin for his patriotism. The sales of the controversial shirt also saw a major boost. In fact, after the media picked up the story, the shirt immediately sold out on the official�'ourhistory' website.�
After having the first batch of shirts sell out, 'ourhistory' is now working on producing a new batch. The new shipment will go out starting on November 19. It sells for 49,000 KRW (~ $44).
