Korean Netizens Criticize BTS RM’s “Disappointing” Attitude
RM is facing backlash after his appearance at the W Korea “Love Your W” charity party.
The controversy started when a post with over 70,000 views went viral, criticizing RM’s behavior at the event. Fans and netizens expected RM to act more respectfully, given the party’s focus on breast cancer awareness — a campaign already under fire for the event’s inappropriate vibe.
The original poster slammed RM for seeming to “enjoy himself without restraint” despite the serious nature of the event.
Viral Pann post:
“Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed in RM.
He’s always portrayed as a thoughtful and socially aware celebrity, but knowing exactly what kind of event this was, he still seemed to be having the time of his life.”
Many others jumped in to criticize the rapper’s seemingly carefree energy. Some even questioned RM’s woke image, pointing to previous controversies like misogynistic lyrics and plagiarism claims.
Netizens had harsh words:
- “V and J-Hope too.”
- “He was dancing around like a wild horse off its leash… I’ve never seen RM look that hyped before.”
- “The truly decent and thoughtful celebrities never get into controversies, no matter how famous they are. The ones who keep talking about how socially aware they are? Totally empty inside.”
- “How can anyone call him socially conscious when he’s written misogynistic lyrics and had plagiarism issues before?”
- “I honestly thought I was watching a promo video for a host bar.”
Twitter users shared clips from the party, showing RM, J-Hope, V, TXT’s Soobin, and aespa members vibing and dancing, which fueled the conversation even more:

The backlash continues as fans debate if the criticism is fair or exaggerated — especially given the ongoing scrutiny of the W Korea event itself.
