'BTS na rin ang datingan nila': RS Francisco defends Ex-Battalion's P35-K concert ticket price

MANILA, Philippines — Concert producer RS Francisco defended Ex-Battalion’s online concert ticket price saying the rap group is like the South Korean boyband sensation BTS. 

In a report by PEP.ph, RS said that though Ex-Battalion is not K-pop, the group is equivalent to BTS. 

“Of course, alam natin na hindi sila K-pop, pero ang equivalent nila, sila ang talagang hip-hop stars na parang BTS na rin ang datingan nila,” he said. 

He also said that he’s receiving a lot of messages on his social media account inquiring about the concert.

“’Yung Instagram ko at saka ang Facebook ko, ang daming nagme-message sa akin dati about Frontrow. Pero noong makita na meron akong My Day about EXB, ang dami nang nagme-message sa akin, kumusta si ganito? Ano ba ang latest?” RS said.  

“As in ang dami na talaga na ang grabe ng clamor sa kanila. So masasabi ko na hindi man sila K-pop, pero parang kapantay na nilang talaga ang ano ng BTS,” he added.
