Recently, a video went immensely viral on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing RM’s supposed “habit” of touching all the food on the table while eating. The original post called it a “cute habit,” putting forth multiple instances of him doing it on camera.

As the video suddenly went massively viral, garnering over 14 million views, netizens started calling out the BTS member, labeling his habit “disgusting.”

However, fans defended him fiercely, calling the criticism xenophobic and intentionally malicious. Many pointed out that the BTS members have a close enough relationship and that they have shared food even from each other’s mouths previously.

Some also pointed out that the clip was being intentionally misrepresented to stir up vitriol against the BTS leader.

The rising popularity of BTS has made them increasingly vulnerable to online attacks at a level that is difficult to ignore. Recently, another BTS member faced significant ridicule for his bare-faced appearance, reflecting this concerning trend.
