BTS‘s RM has become the target of malicious racist comments amid an ongoing “feud” between Korean and SEA netizens.
Recently, RM has become the target of racist hate, which netizens explained stemmed from an ongoing feud between Korean netizens and those from SEA countries, which came after criticism of a Korean fan bringing a big camera into a DAY6 concert and a battle of views on the etiquette.
For people who want to know why Namjoon is the target of a huge hate train: ‼️
Namjoon has become the victim of a toxic and racist online feud between Korean netizens and netizens from Southeast Asia (SEA) (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, etc.).
How it…

Netizens hit back at the racism RM was receiving due to something that didn’t even include the idol, with some even hoping he skips those countries due to the vast amount of hate and malicious comments that were being aimed at him.
the amount of racism joon has been subjected in the last 2 days over absolutely no relation to whatever race war is happening is just insane; its inhumane and disgusting what they’re doing to him, and all of kpop twt is rting those posts; I NEVER want to hear them preach morals

the hate against namjoon is not even normal anymore. y'all dragging him for nothing like he isn't even problematic it's just baseless accusations. y'all make fun of how he looks and act and is racist and xenophobic every other day. it has a limit, i just hope he don't see these.
