Musical Interlude: Dynamite (2020)

 On Tuesday, South Korea's BTS came to the White House as guests of President Biden. The occasion being the final day of Asian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month. K-Pop's Magnificent 7 advocated for an end to anti-Asian discrimination and attacks.

18 months earlier, BTS appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden to perform "Dynamite", not to be confused with Jermaine Jackson's hit of the same name in 1984.


Back to the present. On Tuesday night, Fox Shmooze garbage dispenser Tabloid Carlson took issue with BTS for no other reason than to inflame his audience of suburban bigots. BTS' devoted fan base, aka the BTS Army, took exception to Tabloid's remarks, but of course, there won't be any sort of retraction from Carlson, whose preference for fabricating crises that don't exist brings him big ratings. Unless, of course, the BTS Army finds a way to teach him a lesson.

There's also a duet between BTS and Coldplay. We'll probably get that here sometime soon.
