Again, member of BTS group named RM finds himself at the focus of internet buzz as a result of ARIRANG World Tour concert of the group that was held recently in Toronto. This August 23 concert that happened under heavy rain in Rogers stadium became known due to one special moment from the show when RM was singing “Mic Drop”.

The scandal occurred against the backdrop of the criticism directed towards RM and J-Hope in connection with their participation in Chris Brown concert. While some people saw this speech as a reaction to criticism, some believed that this was just a song’s lyrics.

During the concert in Toronto, RM did the interlude of the song “Mic Drop” with the iconic verse about haters and players. A video of the performance got posted online very fast and many people started wondering whether RM was trying to send a message to the haters who criticized him and J-Hope recently.

This reaction split the fandom into two groups, those who thought that it was a good reply to all the criticism, and those who found disappointment in this kind of reaction.
