On September 18, Behind the scenes‘S RM took to Weverse to catch up with ARMYs, and one interaction went viral on X (formerly Twitter). An ARMY named Julie had shared a heartfelt letter to their prejudice, but it was addressed to Matthew instead of RM, confusing the BTS member, who asked, “Who is Matthew?”
This unexpected interaction quickly circulated on X (formerly Twitter), going viral among ARMYs. As of this writing, over 10,000 related tweets have been shared.

The original poster, Julie, also addressed the issue via X. Julie revealed that they have different messages saved in their notes app for different idols. While panicking over RM’s sudden Weverse activity, they accidentally copied and pasted the wrong one. Julie also confirmed that Matthew is, in fact, ZEROBASEONE’s Seok Matthew!

ZEROSE were hoping that Matthew himself would join the conversation, considering how viral the issue has become.

Now he has done it!
Julie revealed in a recent tweet that she informed Matthew via Plus Chat that she had gone viral. He responded by telling Julie that they should be an official promoter! Matthew added, “I love you,” expressing his gratitude.
matthew bro, at this point you should hire me 😭 photo.twitter.com/2p211BOXlH

Let’s hope Julie gets that promotion or at least locks herself in for a ZB1 concert!
