A multi-fan sent the wrong letter.
koreaboo
On September 18, Behind the scenes‘S RM surprised ARMYs when he visited Weverse. Since he is currently busy doing his mandatory military service, RM was only there for a short time, but he made it count by interacting with several fans’ posts.
RM gained attention for his sincere feelings about military service and his flirtatious responses to ARMYs.
💜 What’s the happiest thing that’s happened to you recently?

Yet one of his answers is going viral.
An ARMY named Julie wrote a heartfelt letter to her prejudice and shared it via Weverse. However, she addressed it to Matthew instead of RM, confusing the BTS member, who asked, “Who is Matthew?”
The unexpected interaction quickly circulated on X (formerly Twitter), going viral among ARMYs. As of this writing, over 10,000 related tweets have been shared.

Multi-fans had a clue, though. The ZEROS recognized Matthew as the ZEROBASEONE member SEO Matthew.

Some fans have even imagined the most unexpected love triangle in fanfiction: BTS’s RM, ZEROBASEONE’s Matthew and KISS OF LIFE‘S Julia (since the original poster was called Julie).

Still, some were curious to know the real Julie’s reaction to her unexpected viral interaction with RM.

The real Julie stood up and addressed the matter via X. They revealed how the mistake occurred. Julie has multiple messages saved in her notes app for different idols, and while she was panicking over RM’s sudden Weverse activity, Julie accidentally copied and pasted the wrong one. Yep, Matthew is ZEROBASEONE’s Seok Matthew!
and if anyone says something NAMJOON HAS BEEN MY ULT FOR OVER 7 YEARS SO PLEASE 😭😭😭😭 AND I VOTED (even paid people to vote) FOR MATTHEW DURING BOYS PLANET EVERY DAY 😭😭😭

Now the ZEROS are just hoping that Matthew himself will join in the prank and show up.
