under the assumption that rm (public persona) and namjoon (his true self) are truly separate, chris brown interaction happened under that public persona. he was there as rm & he publicly shared it. so why does “you're not entitled to his private life” even come into it?
Changbin,
When you came over, I held your hand, but our hands were sweaty, so your ring ended up in my hand.
I tried to show it to you so you could take it back, but I don't think you saw it
I need to give your ring back to you
How can I return the ring to you?

Since some of you still say that namjoon and hoseok “just went to a concert” in my comments, then let’s talk about what they actually did.
RM and j-hope went to Chris Brown’s concert, happily shared stories enjoying the show, tagged him to their millions of followers and publicly described meeting the other co-artist as an honour (do your research on him, too).
They also praised a performance that, in my opinion, was vulgar and degrading towards women on stage.
They gave that association a huge platform. And shortly afterwards, Chris Brown felt comfortable enough to enter an ARMY’s tiktok comments and called her a “hoe”.
BTS doesn’t only have adult fans. There are minors, girls and boys who look up to them. Have you stopped to think about what message this sends to those kids?
That’s more than simply being in a crowd listening to music. They chose to attend, chose to publicly share the positive experience and chose to amplify it to millions of people.
And no, they’re not perfect. Artists can make mistakes. What has hurt their fans most is what came after: the dismissive, defensive attitude, the manipulation, the lack of acknowledgement and the impression that they were the ones being wronged rather than addressing why their fans were hurt in the first place.
So please stop reducing all of that to “they just went to a concert.” That’s not the whole story and you know it.
