During the live session, RM said, “I wish our company had some affection for us,” to which his bandmates immediately responded. While J-Hope asked for the reason behind his statement, Jin defended Hybe by saying, “Doesn’t the company care? They work hard for us.” However, RM responded, “I don’t usually say things like this, right? I just don’t know. I wish they would look after us and treat us with more care.”

RM’s statement has the internet divided, with a lot of fans coming to his defence. But several South Korean netizens have slammed him as well.

“How far is the company supposed to “hold them”? They even stuck by drunk driving, couldn’t stop full-body tattoos, so how much more are they supposed to do?” said one user in criticism, while another commented, “Then just leave the company. Seriously, they’re unique.”

Coming to BTS’ rescue were their international fans. They resonated with what RM said and rallied behind him. One person wrote in response to the criticism, “

The way hybe/BH really mishandled their solo career and lacked in so many things like their promotions, certifications, YT , radio, playlisting but we just let it slide but now the members also have this feeling and it’s really pissing me off”
