A viral post with over 70,000 views is drawing heavy criticism toward BTS’s RM following his appearance at the controversial W Korea “Love Your W” charity party.
Despite being widely regarded as one of the more thoughtful and socially aware idols, the rapper’s behavior at the event has left many Korean netizens disappointed.
The original poster expressed frustration, pointing out that RM appeared to be “enjoying himself without restraint” even though he should have been aware of the event’s purpose — a breast cancer awareness campaign that has recently come under fire for its inappropriate party atmosphere.
“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.”

The post quickly gained traction, with many others chiming in to criticize RM’s demeanor at the event. Some commenters mentioned that while RM is often praised for his intelligence and awareness, his actions at the party seemed to contradict that image.

Others brought up his past controversies, questioning whether his “woke” reputation is justified.
- “V and J-Hope too.”
- “It literally looked like he’d just been let out after being locked up somewhere. 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. The real ones quietly do good things without showing off.”
- “How can anyone call him socially aware when he’s written misogynistic lyrics and had plagiarism issues before?”
- “I honestly thought I was watching a promo video for a host bar.”
The debate continues to spread online as fans debate whether the criticism is fair or exaggerated, given the ongoing backlash surrounding the W Korea event itself.
