** The music video for "Life Goes On" shows band member V going outside in a medical facemask and looking wistfully at a stadium while driving; later in the video, the band is shown singing the last chorus on stage while in the same (very empty) stadium.
** The music video for "Permission to Dance" and its teaser caused a minor controversy, as the teaser showed band member Suga - who is regarded by the fandom as a "future-teller" due to having accurately predicted every major accolade the group has ever received - reading [[Next Sunday A.D.|a newspaper dated 2022]] claiming that the pandemic crisis would be over by then, and the actual video showed people ditching their face masks. This turned out to cause an unfortunate coincidence when the video was released during a spike in infections and the discovery of a new variant in several countries, causing quarantines and public mask use to be more strongly enforced.

* When the pandemic first began, several posters on [[4chan]] (mostly American ones) ran with the idea of [[Anthropomorphic Personification|personifying the virus]] as a [[Anime Chinese Girl|standard anime-styled Chinese girl]] ([[Refuge in Audacity|as they are wont to do]]); many of them at the time were apparently under the impression that the pandemic was either nothing serious or would blow over quickly enough to be a funny memory. [[Harsher in Hindsight|As the pandemic approached its second complete year as (of November 2021)]], the frequency of searches mentioning her tapered off fairly quickly, and posts about her or the pandemic became [[Nightmare Fuel|decidedly disturbing in nature]] - and then, in what many consider typical 4chan fashion, she became a sort of figurehead among the ''more'' racist segments of the userbase.
* [[UrinatingTree]] frequently alludes to [[Anthropomorphic Personification|"Corona-chan"]] in his non-live commentary videos on sports (which is naturally impacted by the pandemic), with mentions of COVID news punctuated by a sound of someone coughing.

* A number of events and award shows were either postponed, scaled back or cancelled outright because of the pandemic. The 2020 Miss Universe and Olympics had to be pushed back several months into 2021, though they were [[Artifact Title|still marketed]] as the 2020 editions. Other events such as [[E3]] and the [[Metro Manila Film Festival]] were held digitally, with film entries for the latter instead being distributed [[Direct to Video]] due to restrictions imposed by the government in an effort to contain the pandemic.
