Since debuting in 2013, BTS has become one of the most-known names in K-Pop and has had to cement their titles as “K-Pop Golden Boys” in the way they act and behave.

Yet, as time goes on and BTS becomes more popular, it has given them a platform to be more honest. In particular, one member who has gained praise from ARMYs worldwide is leader RM.

Since debuting, RM has gained attention from fans for many reasons, including his unrivaled talent, charming charisma, and the ability to be the perfect leader.

 

 

Yet, while K-Pop idols seemingly have a lot of restrictions on what they can say on certain topics, RM has cemented BTS’s new “Chapter 2” after his recent unfiltered interview with the Spanish publication El País.

While many publications will have to send questions to HYBE to be approved to ensure the interview is suitable, netizens believe it can sometimes lead to quite a generic angle from the questions. Although BTS always answers perfectly, ARMYs know how insightful the members are and love hearing them talk about more in-depth topics that showcase their intelligence.

Unsurprisingly, RM spoke about some more general topics about the group, including making ARMYs soft by showcasing just how much he loves his members.

In particular, the discourse in his answers across various publications proves that no matter what could have happened, he wouldn’t ask for anything other than being in BTS.

Of course, RM’s love for BTS isn’t new, and ARMYs have always loved how much he cares for all the members. Yet, his discourse and answers on the broader topics of a culture caught the attention and praise of ARMYs.

But, the publication also wanted to get real with RM about the misconceptions about K-Pop. For many locals (those who don’t know about K-Pop), they see netizens and K-Pop fans as “young and obsessed teenagers.”

In one question, the publication asked whether the traits seen from fans along with those idols are expected to uphold are traits of Korean culture. RM hit back at the harsh and blunt question, calling out those in the West and defending Korea and the country’s history.

He even maturely responded when asked whether the K-Pop industry is dehumanizing!

Rather than shut down the question or give a simple answer, RM admits that the company hasn’t always liked how he answers it. Yet, it wasn’t due to his actions but the way the Western media like to portray K-Pop. He acknowledged there are issues, but also the changes made over the years.

The media love to ask BTS how they feel about being under the category of “K-Pop” implying that their fame is seemingly above the roots where they started. RM also hit back at those claims, with netizens believing that his desire to use the “K” prefix showcases his love for Korea.

When the answers were shared and translated by ARMY accounts, it made fans even more proud of RM and his answers.

While many idols would shy away from more controversial topics, RM answered them directly and showcased his vast knowledge of global issues. He even got real about the “issues” many have about K-Pop, and how they are shaped by those who aren’t even involved in the industry.

While ARMYs have always known and praised how eloquent and passionate RM is, this interview has cemented that. It seems as if RM wasn’t afraid to share his unfiltered answers to some extremely blunt and controversial questions compared to those seen in the past.
