Italian Radio Hosts Insult BTS and ARMY, Fans Demand Apology

BTS ARMY's  have called out Italian radio station Radio 105 after its hosts made disrespectful comments about BTS member Jin and his song Running Wild. During a recent segment, host Marko Mazzoli reacted aggressively when the song played, saying: "Haha! Come on, take off this pain in the a*s." When another host disagreed, Mazzoli continued: "Yes, I don’t give a f*ck!" Despite being reminded that they shouldn’t insult BTS, Mazzoli added: "Oh yeah, right, we can’t insult BTS, but I don’t give a f*ck." @Radio105 capiamo che lo “Zoo di 105” si basa sull’ironia, ma qui si tratta di mancanza di rispetto nei confronti di un artista (visto che non c’è ironia nel definire un brano una “rottura di c*zzo”)La professionalità non lasciatela a casa pic.twitter.com/Uj2gLfPYRI — BTS Italia⁷ (slow) (@BTSItalia_twt) January 30, 2025 Fans quickly expressed their anger on social media, demanding an apology from the hosts and the radio station. Let the radio station know about the unprofessionalism of their DJ. Name in the comments I don’t want to further spread it. Here is the email of Radio 105 and its sponsor’s link with a contact section. Do with that what you must… Nobody makes fun of Jin and his music and think… https://t.co/dUnjfob4XG pic.twitter.com/XLAvDEymsm — DD⁷ and its 🅑🅣🅢 🅨🅔🅐🅡!!! (@lovehlylovehly) January 31, 2025 Remember how racist radio host Matthias Matuschik lost his career BECAUSE he was racist to BTS? Marco Mazzoli should’ve learned from this guy. Unfortunately he didn’t & he still had the audacity to say racist insults to Jin on air. This is the path you chose, @mazzolimarco 👇🏽 https://t.co/1z0ZQmlks3 — Elle ⁷ 엘르 💜 is seeing Hobi in NYC!

Some of their comments were seen as offensive and unnecessary, further fueling the outrage. ARMYs have taken matters into their own hands by organizing mass emails to report the incident to HYBE, BigHit Music, and the radio station’s sponsors.

As of now, there has been no official response from Radio 105, HYBE, or BigHit Music. However, fans continue to demand accountability and a proper apology.
