The bts members def would not date a black woman be so fr. Why do you want performative inclusion? I would much rather they be honest than fake anything for my black dollar

Also id blame the director and company unless it was a situation where the idol themself was responsible for casting

Um what. I get that from some perspectives OPs point might be a stretch, but so is this. Assuming ANYTHING about their dating lives that they never revealed themselves is also weird. I get that non-Koreans need to not set or project expectations onto these idols who are Korean men at the end of the day but bts have always been genuinely kind and inclusive towards all races, that’s part of why they’re so loved and popular.
