Attempts by the Japanese press and far right failed to prevent massive crowds from gathering at the K-pop sensation BTS’s first concert in Japan. On the evening of Nov. 13, the Tokyo Dome flooded with the group’s fandom, which refers to itself as the “BTS Army.” The crowd extended all the way to the nearby Suidobashi Station. On the outskirts of the crowd, however, were a few far-right protesters denouncing the concert and the band, one of whose members was photographed wearing a shirt depicting an atomic bomb blast last year.
