Recently, one Japanese ARMY (BTS' fandom) shared photos of a 'BTS Shrine' located in Shizuoka, Japan online.
Purple is the color that represents BTS and ARMY.
If you want to make a visit and pray at the shrine, you have to pay 2,000 yen (approximately 18 dollars).
You can also book a special praying session with a shinshoku (Shinto priest) for 5,000 yen (approximately 44 dollars).
According to fans, you can easily find a video of the shinshoku doing a BTS dance challenge on social media.
Moreover, Korean citizens' public sentiment over Shinto shrine is highly unfavorable, as some shrines―including the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, Japan―deify war criminals.
BTS' management agency BIGHIT MUSIC is yet to make an official statement regarding the issue.
