@cortisage: Guess who’s backkkk missed you guys!!! Let me know if I missed anymore fandoms 🫪🤍 In August 2026, BTS members RM and J-Hope attended a concert by American R&B singer Chris Brown in Toronto. Following the show, a backstage photograph of RM and J-Hope posing alongside Brown was posted on social media, and J-Hope shared videos of himself and RM singing and dancing during the performance. Additionally, members Jungkook and V were seen singing along to Brown's music during a separate livestream. This public association drew heavy backlash from a large portion of the fandom. Critics and fans expressed deep disappointment, pointing out Brown's long, well-documented history of domestic violence and legal controversies—most notably his 2009 felony assault conviction for attacking Rihanna, alongside more recent legal issues. Many fans felt that publicly supporting or associating with an abuser contradicted the values the group and its fanbase often promote, especially given that BTS’s audience is predominantly female. While some supporters argued that enjoying an artist's music or paying respect to musical influences does not equate to endorsing their personal actions, the controversy highlighted ongoing discussions within the global fanbase regarding accountability, influence, and the ethics of supporting public figures with troubled pasts. Neither RM, J-Hope, nor their agency, HYBE, issued a formal statement addressing the backlash. And that’s only a tiny drop from an ocean. #creatorsearchinsights #kpop #btsdisband #fyp #blowthisup
