On September 8, BTS: PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA was released on Disney+ Day with the network's other star-studded content. As expected, the ARMYs enjoyed watching the concert documentary whole-heartedly. Those who hadn't been able to watch the whole concert before also got a chance to live the amazing moments.
The fans praising Disney+ for including the K-pop group on the platform led to the hashtag #BTSonDisneyPlus on trending, but one more thing that caught the attention of ARMYs was the K-pop boy band getting censored in the videos.
A few moments have been edited or removed, according to the ARMYs. Many words that seemed fine to the fans were also censored. It was even more surprising for them to listen to the exact words in the audio, but seeing those words censored only in the subtitles.
BTS being censored on Disney+ makes them trending
Fans shared numerous reactions on social media to the Dynamite stars being censored in their concert documentary film. There were a few clips where the group's leader, RM was censored, wherein he said,
“It’s easy as hell”

“easy as pie”
Other instances included Jungkook saying "Hell yeah" being censored in the subtitles. RM's other sentence was censored during the IDOL performance where he shouted,
“Put your motherf*****g hands up”
Fans were surprised and also found the editing funny and unusual. Here's how the ARMYs reacted on social media to the group being censored on Disney+.
Since there are fans present of all age groups, it was evident why the platform censored the closed captions.

Also the fact that the audio was not censored while subtitles were questioned the purpose of censorship.
Meanwhile, BTS: PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA on Disney+ has also gone viral due to the live performances of the boy band's concerts held at the Los Angeles SoFi Stadium in 2021.
