BTS’s RM Suffers Massive Backlash After Latest Instagram Story
BTS’s RM has unexpectedly found himself at the receiving end of backlash.
The idol’s recent Instagram story has been criticised by many international netizens.

On December 16, RM shared a story in his personal Instagram account. The BTS leader posted a photo of someone holding a sign that read: “Let’s be nice to each other we’re all trying our best ❤️”

While RM’s story clearly carried a positive message, it has sparked quite a lot of backlash among fans on X (formerly Twitter).
Many accused the BTS leader of having often “enabled hate” from ARMYs.
