The tweet was a response to the reaction of some BTS fans on his resurfaced 2019 interview in which he talked about being put in the same category with the popular boy group.
“In America, everybody considers me K-Pop. So they think my music is going to be like BTS,or they kinda put me in the same category, so they kind of sleep on my bars and music”. $:&—&&2&??!-!- @?????

“Ok so im seeing bts fans feelin some type of way. What bts has done is historic. Breaking all types of records its crazy and inspiring to see. Plus they live streamed listening to my song yacht when it came out so extra cool points for that,” he wrote in response.

The reactions are a mix of those berating him and those defending him for his opinions.
In a separate tweet, Park then explained that he was trying to highlight the challenges that he faced in the interview.
“When it comes to hip hop though ‘kpop’ does not have the most authentic image and that’s just the truth. So me trying to make things happen in that field and also being asian i’ve come across some difficulties was my point in the interview.”

His earlier tweet, in which he claimed that “there isn’t an artist as versatile as me….. that is all,” also sparked some discussions among Twitter users.
