Well this is America they did this to bts at the billboard awards racist fuckers not all but most.

[@honeybunny1of23]

It was so very rude, they thought they didn't speak English. It was indicated that one of the photographers were free - Lancer hired by The Getty. Can we get someone to contact The Met Organizers to banned these free-lance photographer hired.

[@NatalyPortna]

I totally support that! 👏👏👏

Poor Straykids they didn't deserve that disrespect

[@M4rt1nX]

It was supposed to be a happy moment but unprofessionalism took the best of it. I really hope the get their credentials revoked.

[@juanchoresultay2704]

It was suppose to be their moment but these dumbass paparazzi’s just ruined the moment!

[@wHiPpEdFoRJeOnJuNgKoOk]

Shame on those ppl, no excuse for racism

[@lovecdramasnkpop]

There needs to be justice for Stray kids! They need an apology least. Those photographers have no respect. Im American it's just upsetting to see these people being racist to them for no reason. It was their first time, and they looked so excited 😢

[@ayansahra8863]

first 4th gen k-pop group to go to the met gala and photographers had to mess it up😢😒😒

[@becki3101]

not just 4th gen .... but they are the first any/all generation K-Pop Boy Group to have ever attended at all, that is pretty cool.

[@MahiKa8iswhat]

They are THE FIRST kpop group, not just 4th gen

[@bOb-mm9ce]

What hurts the most is how excited the 8 of them were to be going to there first ever Met, just for them to have these moments linger with this great achievement they’ve made. I truly hope they see how proud Stays are of them. ❤

[@user-mb8ew7ks9q]

At least the had great time later 😂

[@taslimahaque6874]

But they handle it very well. Good job stray kids 😊❤

[@jinisaw4864]

stray kids are professionals and reporters were cheap who can't even take a photo of 8 people

[@sahilbhallaa]

Thank you Billboard for raising the Stray kid's issue. I am a blink and i love Stray kids. This was so rude and unprofessional of them They should apologise!!!

[@enooeeelelee_]

I am a Stay and I will not accept any apology.

[@CARAT_WONWOO_]

I would just like to say thank you for talking about stray kids and about those horrific photographers this is why I love billboard

[@fadlemon8702]

Yes! The racism should definitely not be silenced

[@taslimahaque7543]

But stray kids have fun . They really don't care about these useless things. They are royal .❤

[@neueone]

chan addressed this issue on bubble. it's normal to care, they're still human beings 🙄

[@berryberryy._____.]

@@neueonewhat this person is saying is we shouldnt get too caught up on this as chan seemed to not address it if chan didnt address it he doesnt want us angry!!

[@sicatsz]

@@neueonegirl can you READ?

[@M-yx3nh]

​​@@neueoneCan we stop putting words and intentions into Chan that he never had? Because of this attitude fans has been causing him more hate from other fandoms, to the point that even when we are not to blame for some issue everyone already points fingers at us, using us to accuse him of being ' an irresponsible who incites us to do this and that'. He never talked about this, just genuinely said that he had a good time and they were treated well, because they were surrounded by many other people who maybe did treat them well, that's all. With this I am not denying that what happened was horrible, and it's normal to be angry and worried about it.

[@melahatkuzey]

For those bunch of racist Paparazzies, y'all cannot throw shade on one of the biggest names in the entertainment world. There are millons of ppl out there to recognize SKZ from even their toe nails. So, you had one job and you could not even do that... what a pity! My boys will keep shine more day by day however I can't say the same thing for U....

[@vikramdutta5557]

The fact that even billboard is announcing the racism towards Skz shows how disgusting and disrespectful it was...Stray kids really deserves a apology statement from met gala

[@wonxvschae]

i feel so bad for skz what those ppl did was so mean.

[@LoveLiveAteez]

billboard always know how to report EVERYTHING. i swear news channels dont care unless its big artists. all expect you.

[@arohaswitchon]

now even Billboard said it, these photographers need to be fired fr, such an unprofessional behaviour, now they will start regretting that they messed with them

[@vane9690]

Im so happy for stray kids appearance ❤ thank you for calling those r@cists out!!

[@TheDarkestMoon1604]

I hope SKZ is ok after all those comments. They surely must have heard them :(. They were so excited to go the event as well. I hope they had fun.

[@ExpiredMochi.]

The photographer who said that to stray kids is so disrespectful. I bet they have been like that to other artists or actors.

[@F1cs9b61]

RM, Jennie and Rose, ATEEZ - THANK YOU FOR THE NEWS!

[@hyunjinsmarsmellow5076]

can't anyone do something against the photographers??? We have been tagging independent news for 24 hrs, asking the paps to apologize on insta and absolutely no response

[@victorygo]

MET Gala and the Independent should be held responsible for the reprehensive behavior toward the Stray Kids because 1) Stray Kids were Tommy Hilfiger guest who attended MET Gala 2) one of the photographer are contracted by the Independent. Thus the MET Gala should set a policy regarding photographer's unruly behavior and the Independent should be held responsible for their conduct

[@lovesjennie3000]

Jennie killed It at the Met Gala

[@bestwifman]

1:38 I just know Bang Chan and Changbin were screaming in the back😂

[@diannaprince9779]

i watched the whole met gala live, those photographers were rude throughout, constantly screaming at people on where to turn and how to pose and just very disrespectful people overall. racism should be recognized and appropriately dealt with

[@dishasingh7203]

stray kids deserve an apology

[@Mel-ik5lu]

yes Billboard call them out !! this is why stay love you

[@skz_domiATE]

Stray Kids at Mat Gala 2024 ♥️♥️♥️

[@G.Lollie]

Lets not focus on the idiot photographers. Let us as Stay fans focus on this monumental achievement not only for Stray Kids, but for all Korean groups being invited to the Met Gala. Stray Kids looked amazingly handsome. They are such beautiful souls. I am so happy for them. Also seeing Ateez with their new show case at the Grammy museum reminds me of the time HongJong was in the Stray kids company during the Kingdom era, talking about going to the Grammy's. I would love to see them perform once again as Mayfly (BtoB, Ateez, and Stray Kids) at the Grammys. To see them on the stage together again would be the best thing ever. Or even as their individual groups. But we know, if they did the Mayfly collaboration they will be sold out in a minute. LOL We can only dream big.

[@MakeGoodTrouble]

Sorry but you don't just ignore racism. Maybe you could if they were simply just rude, but even then I'd argue you shouldn't because the MET needs to be made aware since neither are acceptable forms of behavior.

[@berryberryy._____.]

@@MakeGoodTroublenot ignoring just trying to shift focus!! please dont be a toxic stan is skz is not focusing on it lets not get caught up and start drama

[@enooeeelelee_]

​​@@berryberryy._____.The disgusting treatment Stray Kids received is what took the focus away, not Stay making sure that it isn't minimised and swept under the rug. Your liberal use of 'toxic stan' does not apply here. For those of us that tuned in for the live coverage, we were forced to watch them be belittled and endure racist comments as it unfolded. Not only did we watch their experience be marred, our viewing experience was as well. I went from happy and excited to upset and angry. You can stick your head in the sand if you want but we can celebrate their appearance at the Gala while also pointing out what happened because it affected all of us, especially those of us that experience racism personally as poc.

[@PanteJL-tb3yf]

its 2024 and racism still continue? shame on you guys , i'm glad chan and the kids don't mind them but still its hurt , they are already so nervous and got this mistreatment 😑😑😑

Racism announced by billboard is insane ❤

[@RiiN_N]

How and why were they thinking that being racist was ok??What tf happen?? We’re they suprised to see Asians?? ☹️

[@ginny5402]

Hello Billboard, I’m happy to see that you guys have your positive news on what is happening in the music industry but also include the negative things going on. Through your KZbin channel I was able to see my favorite musician-group, Stray Kids, having the opportunity to be known internationally. Unfortunately the most, we, as fandoms, can do is writing but I’m hoping the unrespectful people the met gala chooses to work with them don’t fail them because of someone’s fault. Keep the good work billboard!

[@Tinysparkle-ww9lo]

It was on theme. The main theme was garden of time and focused land, sea, sky. Jennie represented sea as pearl.

[@over_yonder2677]

Well, let's face it, a lot of those photographers are just lowlifes with a camera. So I guess I shouldn't be too shock, but I still am.

Guess it's not really a stereotype that some americans don't really know what's going on outside of america. The comments about stray kids from those nasty photographers is such a no go. It was painful to watch knowing that at least Chan and Felix are fluent in english and the rest surely understands enough english to get what those a**holes were yelling at them.
