BTS leader RM has apologized to fans following a recent live broadcast on Weverse that sparked a whirlwind of reactions on social media. His off-the-cuff remarks, particularly on topics such as the breakup, were taken out of context by some viewers, sparking widespread online debate and a wave of harsh criticism.
The broadcast, hosted by RM to casually connect with fans, quickly became a trending topic as select clips went viral, many shared without full context. Some netizens interpreted his comments as hints of BTS’s future disbandment, intensifying speculation already brewing amid ongoing rumors involving various members.
On December 8, RM posted a heartfelt message to Weverse along with a simple photo of his hand making a heart gesture.
“I’m sorry if my live two days ago made many ARMYs feel tired,” RM wrote. “I received so many messages from people worried about me… I regret turning it on now, but I just felt frustrated at the moment. I’m sorry ã… Please look at me kindly, just a little.”
He continued to share personal updates, giving fans a glimpse into his daily life, including studying for his driving test, returning home after renovations and even a failed attempt at making a snow duck due to melting snow.
“I’ll focus on making music, practicing choreography together, thinking about new content, sleeping well and living normally… That’s all for now!”
The sincerity and warmth of his message touched many fans, with most ARMYs rallying behind him. Comments on Weverse, Twitter and fan communities largely expressed support, noting that RM’s comments were misinterpreted and that no apology was necessary.
As BTS continues to explore their group and solo endeavors, RM’s message is a reminder of the pressures idols face in the public eye — and the power of vulnerability in building trust with fans.
