In the comments, netizens hit back at RM, claiming that if anyone else were like that, they would be hated and accused the idol of being dramatic with the crutches, especially as they thought it didn’t seem as serious as first reported and made out to be.
If it were Scoups or Jennie, the cult would be chomping at the bit right now. https://t.co/DATfDBfrZG

I sprained my ankle when I was younger and wore an orthopedic boot for at least 2 weeks, if not a month
and I was like 14 at the time while he's 30, but it seems like he's healing exceptionally well, supernaturally even, but what do I know https://t.co/P2Tnj4mj3b— jk girlie♡ ʷᶦˡˡ ˢᵉᵉ ʲᵏ ¹² ⁰⁷ ²⁰²⁶ (@JE0NBOY97) March 28, 2026
In particular, when netizens tried to hit back at the criticism, an OP shared that it seemed impossible to heal a sprained ankle.
