Why Didn’t BTS V Boycott?

Asalamaikum. Today I want to talk about little sensitive topic because some people text me about can you talk about this topic. So it's about BTS V Tong and the Coca-Cola commercial at first. Congratulation for the uh finishing army. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, that's not what I talk about today. So many people feel proud and think it's cool. Yeah. You know like he's always the headliner on the whole commercial award. But as a Muslim and also as a human being, I want to share honestly how I see this. At first, as you know, Coca-Cola is not just a drink company. For many Muslims, Coca-Cola has been a boycott target for a long time. Why? Because Coca-Cola has strong ties with Israel. Many people think this company doesn't care about the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Palestine. That's why many Muslims around the world boycott Coca-Cola and the similar brand. And I also also used to drink a lot of Coca-Cola in the past. But after knowing about the Palestine and what they are doing, I stopped and choose the boycott. This is not only about the taste or preference. It is about the justice and solidarity. We must think where does my money go? Does it make life harder for people who already suffer? And let's come back to topic about V. Should we blame or boycott him? I think I think it's not right to blame him. this global artist and he joined the commercial because of contracts and business and he may doesn't know about this issue at all. So attacking or hating artist is not fair but but at the same time as Muslim consumers we must be clear so we can still support him as an artist but but let's just think about it supporting him is different from supporting that company and when we use the money for the company it can be the part of suffering our brothers and sisters which is really really terrible. It's not that happy thing that he make the commercial for Coca-Cola butts. But like actually not all Korean celebrities are ignoring this issue. Uh some of them do really care. Like for example, a former day member like shout at the free Palestine during a concert like really like huge strong voice free Palestine and you know the football player Sunungin also worked with UNICEF to help children in Gaza. He really cares about starving people in in there. So not all celebrities uh ignore this issue. So here is my personal view. I respect him and I respect his work. And as a Korean, I'm super super proud of him and his group. But as a Muslim and as a human being, I will continue to boycott Coca-Cola. I hope you also do this. So this is not just about the brand. It's about the what value we choose and whose side we stand on. When I think of the suffering of Palestine, I believe that even a small choice like like not buying Coca-Cola can have a big meaning. So yeah, that's what I thought. And what do you think when you saw the commercial? Did you feel proud or did you also feel conflicted? Please share your thoughts in the comments. Yeah, because I'm I'm not the answer. But but the main point I want to say is we are one um like whatever like BTS or Korean or like whatever we are one um we are Muslim. We should help and we should know that what is happening to our brothers and sisters. And I believe that that's the teaching of Islam. Alhamdulillah. And thank you for watching my video. Take care and be safe. Alhamdulillah.
