The BTS leader recently got caught up in dating rumours with K-pop group Aespa's leader Karina. Some fans have slammed these rumours as they say that people should not invade K-pop idols' privacy, whereas, some fans are in disbelief after seeing the rumours.
The rumours started because both RM and Karina share a close friendship with Se So Neon's lead vocalist Hwang So Yoon aka So!YoON!. They both were clicked with So!YoON! at the concert and RM also collaborated with her on the solo single 'Smoke Spirte'.

RM earlier talked about the dilemma celebrities face in sharing things on social media. "It's a dilemma I face because my act of sharing can make me look like a pushover. Many celebrities, stars, and artists prefer mystery, maybe because they have many scars or because they don't want to open up," he said.

He added, "Personally, I think it's good to share with our fans both the good and the bad, the pros and cons, and the shadows that hang over us. From an outsider's perspective, it may seem BTS's success has grown exponentially, but that is not true. It might not have been necessary to reveal that we had considered disbanding, but confessions can sometimes make people stronger."

He earlier got into a controversy after he posted the screenshot of the song 'Bad Religion' on his Instagram Story. Frank Ocean's song 'Bad Decision' was released in 2012 and the song is often subjected to criticism due to its reference to the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar." 'RM apologies to Muslims' started trending on X (formerly Twitter) but several fans also supported the BTS leader by trending 'Namjoon The Prettiest Flower'.
On the work front, RM released his solo album 'Indigo', which was a huge hit.
