The harsh consequences BTS’ Jungkook will face for participating in Qatar 2022

The minor member of South Korean Kpop group BTS, Jungkook, could face several consequences for participating in the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. What is Jungkook facing? The Qatar 2022 World Cup, which kicked off yesterday, has faced a great deal of criticism for the large number of workers who died while building the stadiums for the event, with a total of more than 6,500 workers killed.

In addition, the country and FIFA have been harshly criticized for the weak human rights in Qatar towards women, the LGBT community and immigrants. This has sparked an enormous amount of criticism from different human rights organizations that judge FIFA of having sold the venue to the Arab country in exchange for money and oil.

This has resulted in celebrities and artists who are currently attending the opening ceremony, receiving harsh criticism and being questioned for participating in an event organized by a country that seriously violates human rights.

Singers such as Shakira and Dua Lipa declined their offers to participate in the event for the same reason, leading the general public to urge other artists to follow in the footsteps of the two pop stars.

.

However, in Jungkook’s case, his participation remained confirmed until the very end, which might generate him harsh accusations from different non-governmental organizations advocating for LGBT, women and immigrant rights.

In addition to this, the Idol also released a song specially inspired for the World Cup with the recent single ‘Dreamers’, being one of the official artists that will be in the official soundtrack of the sporting event.

First and foremost, ARMY, the official fandom of BTS, is defending Golden Maknae to the hilt. However, they are aware that Qatar and FIFA are not defensible, and urge others not to involve Jungkook in this big scandal that is undoubtedly affecting the World Cup soccer party.
