A Japanese TV show has cancelled a performance by K-pop band BTS after one of its members was pictured wearing an "offensive" t-shirt.

They were set to perform this evening, but the channel has since confirmed their appearance has been "postponed".

The t-shirt stirred anger among some Japanese fans of the ground as it featured images depicting the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, as well as pro-Korean liberation slogans.

A statement released by the Japanese network said that the shirt 'caused controversy' and that they are discussing it with the record label.
