BTS RM / Photo = Reporter Lee Dong-hoon photoguy@ Group BTS leader RM (real name Kim Nam-joon) directly opened his mouth to the controversial issue of Islamophobia towards himself. On the 30th, RM said through a live broadcast on Weverse, “I kept saying that I insulted religion, but I didn’t. I respect all beliefs and religions. That’s all I can say.”
Previously, on the 16th, RM shared Frank Ocean’s song ‘Bad Religion’ with fans and recommended the song.
However, afterward, controversy arose among some netizens, saying that the song contained lyrics criticizing Islam. They pointed out that in the song’s lyrics, the phrase “religion that brings me to my knees is a bad religion” contains a critical view of Islam, and that RM was advocating Islamophobia.
Earlier, Frank Ocean said that the lyrics of ‘Bad Religion’ contained his homosexual identity and inner conflict.
RM reiterated, “I know what’s going on on social media right now, but I never had that intention. Not even 1% had the intention of insulting religion.”
“This explanation is not to apologize for degrading religion, but to express that I recommended the song without any other intention,” he said. .
RM said, “Even if I tell the truth, I know that I can’t convince or convince everyone. Even if I say this, some will say, ‘No, you had that intention and purpose.’ But I didn’t. I can’t lie to you.” He asked the fans, “I heard noise everywhere, so I had to talk. Trust me.”
