PETALING JAYA, April 25 – Fan of K-Pop’s top boyband, BTS, said actor Sharnaaz Ahmad was too old and hardly in the targeted youth demographic to ascertain appropriate entertainment for youngsters.
“Army”, the moniker for the fans of boyband, took to social media to lambast the 33-year-old after he posted an Instastory yesterday, criticising Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman who had announced he was working on bringing the group to Malaysia in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2020.
The actor had posted a statement on his social media account saying, “If I was Youth Minister. I would first bring Metallica, Blink 182, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed…
“What is this?? Kpop? Your mother!!”
It was reported that Syed Saddiq had revealed on Tuesday that he had just met with the promoter for a BTS stopover and were currently in the negotiation phase.
Fans who had initially gone online to voice their worries the show might not go on, did not take well to Sharnaaz’s remark.
Uncle, youth minister is bringing in BTS for the youth la. You youth ah? 🤦🏻♂️ #KnowOurAge #GetWithTheTimes #DontTalkFromButthole https://t.co/wvGinR54Vw

dey tambi...kpop pun dorang ni lagi jutawan dari kau lah...lagi hebat dr kau...kau apa ada?bising je lebih! Duk senyap2 tak boleh ke?????https://t.co/VCZukxWcmb
This is why he's the youth minister, actually Sharnaaz just 3 years older than me, but I can see why BTS is preferred. Move on la, youth skrg majoriti mana dgr lagu² tu, nak paksa org suka apa yg ko suka gak ke? Typical. https://t.co/rhr5a65X3u
