Wedding Bands? BTS RM’s Latest Instagram Update Triggers Widespread Responses

BTS’s RM is facing rumors about a surprise gift that set off major Namjin marriage talks.
The controversy began when RM posted a photo of his birthday gifts on Instagram for September 12, including matching FRED bracelets and a flashy white gold ring studded with diamonds from the brand — where Jin is an ambassador. The ring price? Around $7,670.
Netizens instantly joked RM and Jin looked like a married couple. Comments flooded in, calling the ring basically a proposal because RM wore it on his left ring finger — the finger couples wear wedding rings on.
“Isn’t this basically a proposal?”
“Wow, hope they have a beautiful love!”
“Wow, at this level, isn’t it really a proposal? It’s even more than most engagement rings ”
Screenshots showed how the ring’s price and design fuelled wild speculation on TheQoo and other sites.

Twitter quickly filled with jokes and disbelief:
: “jin’s gift hyung ㅠㅠ”

But RM shut it down during a birthday live. He said the ring only fit on his ring finger — nowhere else — and added he was not married or getting married.
Namjoon about wearing the ring on his fourth finger lol
: Jin hyung gave this ring to me but the reason why I’m wearing it on my ring finger is bcs it didn’t fit anywhere else
: Jin hyung kept asking won’t it fit in any other finger
: But it doesn’t fit on my any other…
