BTS RM’s Army Mates Under Fire For Inconsiderate Reaction To His Kindness
BTS’s RM has unexpectedly sparked heated online reactions after sharing a story about treating military trainees, only for many netizens to criticize the people involved.
During a recent conversation, RM recalled giving his card to trainees so they could buy themselves some items from the military convenience store.
“I gave my card to the neighboring squadron to get themselves snacks from the military convenience store and bought like ₩660,000 KRW (about $438 USD) worth of snail mucin cream and other daily necessities. So the POS broke down. It was the first time this ever happened in the base. The commander asked me what was going on, and I said that I told the kids to get some snacks, but they bought things to send to their mom like health goods. The receipt had over 100 items listed on it.”
He continued, shocked by what ended up happening:
After the story spread online, many netizens criticized the trainees’ actions, saying they crossed the line after RM’s generous gesture.

No, but RM gave the neighboring squadron his card to buy some snacks, but they bought stuff like snail mucin cream and health products to give to their parents so much so that the convenience store’s POS broke down. What scums of society are these b*stards…

Some even half-joked that the BTS members all came out of the military with hatred towards men.
