The snapshot, posted on November 11, was swiftly removed by RM, but not before the internet caught wind of the controversial moment. Fans, collectively known as ARMYs, expressed a range of opinions upon discovering the unexpected glimpse into the idol's personal life.


Some fans took a supportive stance, emphasizing RM's right to make personal choices. "If BTS RM wants to smoke, that is fine; he is a grown man," asserted one fan. Meanwhile, others voiced their disappointment, with one Twitter user cautioning about the potential impact on the idol's younger audience: "He has 40 million-plus followers, even though he's a grown man. Think before you click, because not all his followers are adults. Be responsible for what you are sharing. Remember, smoking is dangerous to your health. Not a good influence on the young generation."

Despite the social media storm surrounding the controversy, RM continues to thrive in his professional endeavors. Following the release of his solo album, "Indigo," in December of the previous year, the rapper collaborated on singles with SoYoON! and Balming Tiger. In a recent livestream, RM disclosed that he is actively working on his next album, dispelling rumors of an imminent 2023 release. Moreover, in March of this year, he made headlines as the first celebrity brand ambassador for the luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta .


Beyond his musical achievements, RM has taken on the role of public relations ambassador for the Ministry of National Defense . In this capacity, he will represent the organization known as 'Killed in Action Recovery & Identification’ (MAKRI), showcasing his commitment to both his artistic pursuits and societal responsibilities.
