Group BTS (BTS) leader RM was embarrassed by his article released without prior agreement. He expressed his displeasure with the fact that his personal schedule, not official activities, was known one after another. Some criticized it as an invasion of privacy.
On the 4th, it was reported that RM visited Hwaeomsa Temple in Gurye, Jeollanam-do, and had a temple stay for two days and one night.
The news of RM's visit to Hwaeomsa Temple was published simultaneously in media articles through promotional materials. According to the data, RM visited Hwaeomsa Temple with his close music producer Gangsan, and met with monk Deokmun to chat with him. A number of conversations with Monk Deokmun were also revealed during the chat. Many photos of RM when he visited the temple were also released.
RM, who has often shared daily photos and often enjoyed temple stays, was somewhat unusual because he did not release photos of his visit to Hwaeomsa Temple himself. In addition, the contents of the chadam were disclosed in detail in the form of an exclusive interview, in which Monk Deok-moon said that he asked RM, "Are you sad that you didn't get a military exemption?" At the time, RM said, "Of course, I want to fulfill my duties as a Korean citizen. As it became known that he replied, "Only then can I talk about my rights," RM, who reiterated his willingness to join the military, received favorable reviews from the public.
But RM did not hide his displeasure. In the early morning of the 5th, the day after the article was released, he captured and posted some of the articles on his social networking service (SNS) and posted an article saying, "Thank you for the good time, but I didn't expect you to publish the article." RM also left the hashtag "lowkey must be lowkey" with the words "I'll go to another temple quietly next time." "Low-key" is a slang word that is mainly used to mean "secretly" or "secretly". It is an article that reveals RM's heart, who hoped to leave his steps quietly to visit the temple.
RM is one of the members who try to enjoy their daily lives relatively freely despite the popularity of BTS, where every move is drawing attention. Witnesses have been pouring in for years, such as riding the Seoul Metropolitan Government's shared bicycle, "Ddareungi," running along the Han River, or appearing in art galleries and museums to watch it quietly.
In particular, the exhibitions RM has visited are called "RM Tours" and have become attractions where fans continue to visit. Since RM's visit, his name has often been used in promotional materials, but at least officials have tried to protect RM's privacy, allowing him to quietly watch the work and leaving the situation at the time of his visit as a private area.
Therefore, fans are complaining about the report on Hwaeomsa Temple. It is argued that RM's privacy was violated by Hwa-eom-sa's unilateral action aimed at promoting the effect. No matter where you go, it is a star that witnesses are inevitably consumed, but there are voices of criticism that at least religious facilities should not come forward and invade your privacy.
