    The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric, but no formal or dichotomous fallacies are present. The author states that 'Researchers say BTS’s global success has contributed billions of dollars to the South Korean economy' and 'BTS’s music also seems to have become a military asset.' These statements are appeals to authority as they rely on the unnamed researchers for their validity. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory rhetoric such as 'Pyongyang has been sending south hundreds of trash balloons' and 'South Korea blasted K-pop music into North Korea in retaliation.' These statements are intended to evoke strong emotions and may not be entirely objective or factual.
