“Caption with romance is inappropriate”- Fans divided over Disney+ Japan’s announcement of BTS' Jungkook & Jimin's Are You Sure?! Season 2 

On Wednesday, November 5, Disney+ Japan announced the upcoming season of BTS' Jungkook and Jimin's travel reality show, Are You Sure?!. While fans and netizens were thrilled to learn more details about the forthcoming show, the caption used by Disney+ Japan for their announcement of the new season garnered heavy backlash. This was particularly due to the use of the word "romance" to describe the show and the two members' journey. Here's what the translated version of Disney+ Japan's announcement for the show's season 2 reads:"This Time's Destinations are Switzerland and Vietnam. Look Forward to a Journey Filled with Laughter and Romance."Following this post's landing on the internet, many fans were offended by Disney+'s alleged fan service marketing to promote the show. They criticized the show for encouraging and monopolizing on the ongoing fan-ships between Jimin and Jungkook, and called them out for the same. Many also suggested a boycott of the show in order to refrain from supporting the alleged disrespectful fan service marketing used for the show.However, many Japanese fans came to the defense and explained that the translation is inaccurate. The word "romance" in Japanese, they stated, doesn't only translate to its literal meaning, but is also often used to mean adventure or dreams. Given that Are You Sure?! is a travel reality show, fans argued that the usage of "romance" was intended for its latter meanings.They also further reasoned their stance by stating that no other language announcements for Are You Sure?! from Disney+ stated the word "romance". Here are a few reactions from fans regarding the Disney+ Japan announcement for Jungkook and Jimin's travel reality show sequel:"Caption with romance is inappropriate @BIGHIT_MUSIC @DisneyplusJP" said a fanbaby star candy @babystarj97kLINKCaption with romance is inappropriate @BIGHIT_MUSIC @DisneyplusJPMore fans and netizens expressed their displeasure with Disney+ Japan's announcement on Are You Sure?!
