ALBAWABA - Kim Namjoon fans were angry after he shared a screenshot of the song Bad Religion, and went on to claim that the singer is Islamophobic.
Kim Namjoon has broken his silence over the matter and said that he will not issue an apology. He shared: "I respect every belief and religion. There was no such purpose or like at least 1% in my heart to insult a religion."
He added: "You keep telling me that I insulted a religion, but I didn’t. there was no intention or purpose to insult any religion I respect every belief and religion that’s all I could say"
"Life is a journey, right? So there are a lot of hurdles and obstacles to get over, to pass by but.. now I'm cool, I'm good. Now I'll be forever focused on my own things and not the bad energies outside."
This comes after BTS' Kim Namjoon was attacked after sharing Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion" on his Instagram story.
Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion" is renowned for its exploration of "not returned" love in the face of religious struggles, the song is extremely controversial as it causes misunderstanding due to its title and the lyrics: "Allahu Akbar" and "If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion."
The original idea behind the song is that Frank worships a person who does not feel the same way, he can't accept that and is desperate to change his feelings towards him, hence why it's a bad religion, in conclusion, it's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.
Some claim the song is about a religious person who struggles with being gay.
And K-pop fans attacked the singer claiming he is listening to an Islamophobic song, and are urging him to share an apology to his Muslim fan base.
