James Corden vs BTS: ARMY upset after late-night host calls fans '15-year-old girls'

'...15 year old girls everywhere found themselves wishing that they were Secretary General António Guterres,' said James Corden

A series of jokes cracked by actor and television host James Corden has greatly upset BTS Army, who have decided to strip the host of his 'Papa mochi' title. BTS ARMY is known to be extremely protective of the seven boys. Recently, RM, SUGA, Kim Taehyung, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook and J-Hope delivered a message on Youth Today and sustainable development at the United Nations General Assembly, and also performed their latest song -- 'Permission to Dance'. The septet soon broke Twitter as people expressed their pride and admiration for the group.

James Corden has always been a favorite of the BTS boys. They have been impressed by the friendly, polite and respectful behaviour of 'The Late Late Show' host. In fact, Jimin -- who shares a very special bond with Corden -- called him Papa Mochi, a term which Corden even used on his bio. However, Corden recently upset BTS Army. Speaking about the presence of BTS at the UN, Corden said the world leaders made a good decision to call them because the group has a huge fandom. Corden, however, also ended up describing the fans as 15-year-old girls.

He said, “The United Nations General Assembly kicked off this morning in New York City, and it started with some pretty unusual visitors. BTS were there. BTS visited the UN. Although lots of people are saying why are BTS there, the world leaders have no choice but to take BTS seriously. BTS has one of the largest ARMY on the planet earth. Historic moment. It actually marks the first time that 15-year-old girls everywhere found themselves wishing that they were Secretary General António Guterres.” 

BTS' music is loved universally by kids, teens, middle-aged people, and even old people. James Corden is now trending on Twitter with people describing him as fake, and asking him to remove 'Papa Mochi' from his bio. "you are not the real papa mochi, disappointing and disrespectful goodbye you don't deserve. this is ur end!" one user wrote. "JAMES CORDEN BETTER REMOVE THAT PAPA MOCHI FROM YR BIO. CALLING US 15 YR OLDS, AREN'T U SHAMEFUL OF WHAT U DID. U ARE JUST A MERE CLOUT CHASER. DON'T ACT FAKE," wrote another. "to call bts an "unusual guests" is so disrespectful. it was was their THIRD time speaking at the UN?!? & calling out armys a bunch of "15 yr old girls" the stereotype, smh. so disappointed. i expected way better from james corden. u don't deserve bts & army. no more papa mochi!!" one user exclaimed.

Here's a look at some more reactions:

In the video, Corden said BTS were unusual guests at the UN General Assembly that 15-year-olds wished for once that they were at the headquarters. Papa Mochi was a title that Corden got when Jimin referred to him as that on a carpool session in New York for 'The Late Late Show', and Corden called Jimin 'Baby Mochi'.
