RM’s relationship status has always been a talking point, with some even suggesting he has a secret wife, while others have thought he has a secret boyfriend, and the name “Soyeon” even became a hot topic when RM posted a photo with the words “namjoon sooyeon” in hangul.

Well, it seems like RM’s relationship status has become a hot topic again, but there’s a plot twist.

On May 11, RM became a hot topic on Korean social media when many ARMYs were shocked to see the phrase “래퍼여친” trending, which translated as “Rapper Girlfriend.”

Luckily, before fans got too concerned, it seemed that it was far from what ARMYs expected from the tweets. Rather than any photos of RM with a “girlfriend,” it was full of pictures of BTS’s youngest member Jungkook.

It seems like fans in Korea had been captioning the post with “Rapper girlfriend” because of how close the two members looked and the fact that Jungkook had long hair. In tweets from netizens, they couldn’t hide their reactions to the photos, incorporating the phrase.
