BTS Ban in Russia

 

- Concert Film Ban: BTS's concert film, "Love Yourself in Seoul," was banned in Russia due to allegations of promoting homosexuality

- Cities Affected: The ban was enforced in two cities, Makhachkala and Grozny, after online protests claimed the film showcased "over-the-top immoral behavior"

- Reason for Ban: The Russian anti-gay group's social media protests began after a theater in Makhachkala started selling tickets for the film, leading to the cancellation of the premiere 

- Date of Ban: The ban occurred in December 2018, before the film's worldwide release on January 26, 2019
