BTS Daily Chile⁷ explained that the sculptures Namjoon shared in an Instagram story were chemamüll, figures of Mapuche culture displayed at the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, in the historic center of Santiago. The account described the museum as an institution dedicated to preserving, researching, and disseminating the artistic and cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of America. It added that its permanent exhibition "Chile before Chile" addresses the history, beliefs, art, and ways of life of the indigenous peoples of the Chilean territory. According to the post, the term "pre-Columbian" refers to the period prior to Christopher Columbus's arrival in America in 1492, although the museum also presents indigenous cultures that still exist. BTS Daily Chile⁷ noted that the Mapuche people have a historical presence concentrated in south-central Chile and in territories of present-day Argentina, and that their name means "people of the land" in Mapudungun. It also emphasized that Mapuche communities keep their identity, traditions, and knowledge alive. The account indicated that chemamüll means "people of wood" and that these anthropomorphic sculptures were traditionally carved from a single piece of pellín oak or laurel. According to its explanation, they were placed on graves in ancestral cemeteries called eltun and were linked to the representation of the deceased and the Mapuche beliefs about death and the afterlife. https://t.co/3SbJljoKc5 #CulturaMapuche #ArtePrecolombino #MuseumSantiago (translated)

BTS Daily Chile⁷ wrote that the seven members of BTS had said goodbye to Chile dressed as huasos, with blankets and chupallas, items described as part of the identity and cultural heritage of the country. The account explained that the huaso was an emblematic figure of rural culture, especially in the central region, and had historically been linked to agriculture, livestock, and horseback life. It also noted that the blankets, generally made of wool, and the chupallas, primarily made of straw or plant fibers, had transitioned from fulfilling practical functions to being recognizable elements of traditional clothing. BTS Daily Chile⁷ added that these garments were connected to rural roots, traditional celebrations, and the cueca dance. According to the account, seeing the members of the group wearing them during their farewell had been a way to connect with Chilean traditions and share part of the cultural identity with ARMY. https://t.co/VhcKMtgMmJ #CulturaChilena #Tradiciones #Huaso (translated)

BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ asked its followers to appreciate BTS's visit to Colombia without measuring it against experiences in other countries. It pointed out that each place had a different context and that the differences should not be interpreted as a measure of the artists' affection for each audience. The organization recalled the group's first visit to the country and mentioned their expressions, words, questions about why they hadn't come earlier, and apologies. It also acknowledged that some aspects could have been different and stated that there would be learnings for future visits, but it urged not to conclude that what was missing diminished the value of the experience. Regarding the third date, BTS ARMY Colombia⁷ stated that conclusions were circulating that did not necessarily correspond to reality.

Finally, it called for prudence when talking about the artists and their intentions, and encouraged followers to cherish the memories of the visit and to work towards future opportunities with hope, not resentment. #ARMYColombia #BTS #Reflexión (translated)

The thing with the Land Law is this: In December 2023, the Government signed DNU 70/23, which, among many other things, repealed the Land Law. Like many of the chapters of that DNU, the article repealing the Land Law was judicialized: The Center of Ex-Combatants of La Plata filed an amparo claiming it was unconstitutional. In January 2024, federal judge Ernesto Krepak issued a precautionary measure suspending that article until the issue of constitutionality was resolved. Then, the Federal Court of La Plata declared the article unconstitutional and told the Government that if they wanted to repeal the Land Law, they would have to go through Congress. They could not do it by DNU. The Government then presented to Congress the Law of Inviolability of Private Property with a chapter to repeal the most restrictive points of the Land Law. What happened is what we all know: mass mobilization in the streets, expressions from popular artists and football players, the Malvinas flag at the World Cup, and all the pressure that caused the ruling party to lose votes and have to withdraw the chapter. Now what the Supreme Court of Justice (made up of 3 people) has done is overturn the ruling of the Federal Court of La Plata and restore the validity of the chapter of DNU 70/23 that repealed the Land Law. They were careful not to comment on the substantive issue because they have been procrastinating on resolving the constitutionality of the entire DNU for almost three years. The rationale is that the Center of Ex-Combatants of La Plata does not have procedural standing to file an amparo against the decree. They let time pass to let the dust settle and achieved, with a requested ruling, what they could not do democratically, which is to sell Argentine lands to foreigners. #LeyDeTierras #DerechosHumanos #Argentina (translated)

Me llamaron “gordofóbica” en televisión. No dijeron que hice un comentario que consideraban desafortunado. No cuestionaron una frase. Me definieron a mí. Y no es lo mismo. Puedo equivocarme. Puedo expresarme mal. Puedo elegir una palabra que no represente exactamente lo que quiero decir. Y, como cualquier persona, puedo aceptar una crítica cuando corresponde. Pero NO SOY GORDOFÓBICA. Y me duele que alguien pueda colocarme semejante etiqueta públicamente, frente a una audiencia enorme, sin detenerse siquiera a mirar quién soy, qué he dicho y cómo me he comportado durante todos estos años. Llevo más de 20 años trabajando y hablando frente a una cámara. He discutido muchísimo. Me he peleado. He dicho cosas de las que después pude arrepentirme e incluso disculparme. Me han dicho de todo y yo también he contestado con dureza. Entonces, si soy gordofóbica, busquen mi historia. Busquen durante estos más de 20 años cuántas veces humillé a una persona por ser gorda. Busquen cuándo utilicé el peso de una mujer para degradarla. Busquen cuándo dije que una persona valía menos, era menos linda, menos capaz o merecía menos respeto por el tamaño de su cuerpo. BÚSQUENLO. Porque yo también quise saber si existía ese historial que aparentemente justifica que hoy se me defina de esa manera. Y no lo encontré. Lo que sí existe es una frase. Una frase en la que intenté hablar de algo completamente diferente: de la mirada del afuera, de cómo creo que muchas veces la sociedad juzga de manera distinta a las personas según su apariencia. ¿Me expresé mal? Es posible. ¿La frase pudo herir o molestar a alguien? También. Y si alguien se sintió lastimado por mis palabras, puedo entenderlo y lamentarlo. Pero una cosa es responsabilizarme por cómo me expresé y otra muy distinta es aceptar que alguien decida quién soy. NO. No voy a aceptar una etiqueta que no me representa. Porque llamar públicamente “gordofóbica” a una persona es una acusación seria. Y las acusaciones serias deberían sostenerse con algo más que la interpretación de una frase. Si después de más de dos décadas de exposición pública el argumento para definir quién soy sigue siendo aquel mismo comentario, entonces quizás no estamos frente a un patrón de gordofobia. Quizás estamos frente a una frase desafortunada. Y esas dos cosas NO SON LO MISMO. Estoy absolutamente a favor de que revisemos nuestras palabras, de que aprendamos y de que entendamos que hay expresiones que hoy pueden lastimar aunque ésa jamás haya sido nuestra intención. Pero esa responsabilidad tiene que funcionar para todos. También para quienes tienen un micrófono. También para quienes comunican. También para quienes ponen etiquetas sobre otras personas delante de millones de espectadores. Porque las palabras tienen consecuencias de los dos lados de la pantalla. No pretendo que nadie deje de criticarme. Después de tantos años en televisión sería absurdo. Lo único que exijo es algo mucho más sencillo: QUE ME JUZGUEN POR LO QUE DIJE. NO POR ALGO QUE DECIDIERON QUE SOY. Puedo aceptar haberme equivocado con una frase. Lo que no voy a aceptar es que una frase equivocada se convierta en una mentira sobre quién soy.
