The National Transportation Safety Administration said, "Be careful when you say the name of the light stick".
The U.S. Department of Transportation (TSA) asked the group BTS (BTS) fandom "ARMY" to be careful of the words used when referring to the cheering stick at the airport security checkpoint.
On the 7th, the TSA's official Instagram account left a special request to fans around the world to visit BTS's Los Angeles concert scheduled for November.
TSA asked, "If you travel to see an outstanding group with a cheering stick, please call the cheering stick 'Light Stick' at the airport security checkpoint."
The reason why the U.S. Department of Transportation and Security made a special request is that the name of the BTS Dongsik light stick is "Army Bomb." Direct translation of this is "military bomb." If you are an employee who is not familiar with the cheering culture of BTS fandom "Army," there is a possibility that there will be a big commotion when you say that there is a bomb in the bag.
The BTS offline concert is scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, USA, from November 27th to 28th and December 1st to 2nd. The offline performance is the first time in two years since the "2019 BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself the Final" held in Seoul in 2019.
BTS will hold an online concert "BTS Permission to Dance on Stage" on the 24th of next month ahead of its first offline performance in two years.
