BTS made headlines a few months back when they not only spoke openly against racial discrimination but even donated USD 1 million to the Black Lives Matter movement. "We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together. #BlackLivesMatterFurthermore, they've also donated to other important causes on social issues," the members had tweeted back then.
But, what is BTS' views on politics and do they consider themselves as being political? This question was posed at the septet during their interview with Variety.
