BTS‘s RM has sparked major backlash for his recent actions amid ongoing controversies.

BTS’s RM

Recently, an article about Artue was released with the title “AI Curator Helps Korean Artists Expand Overseas,” discussing a new system created using AI to match artwork to individuals based on their mood. In the subheading, it spoke about the project, but attention was raised for the last line that said, “Backed by investors including BTS’s RM.”

One OP shared the news, but also their anger due to RM’s recent involvement with AI and mentions of it.

OH🤡?

"They just gave him a birthday treat!!! You're blowing things out of proportion!!!!"

"It's just ChatGPT, everyone uses it!!! Fucking get over it b!tch!"

"He's suffering! You don't care about his MH!!! Stop harassing him"

In particular, netizens expressed anger about RM’s alleged involvement, especially given the idol’s past stance on AI, which was negative. Additionally, netizens have raised criticisms about AI, citing dangers associated with its use and its environmental impact. Also, with recent criticisms with RM and other BTS members attending the controversial W Korea event, it has led to many believing the group has changed and lost their morals.

Lately, they’ve been under my “Disappointed, but not surprised” list. Mind you, I’d never thought I’d put them there but here we are. Making so-called “art” with AI, making friends with zionists, spending money everywhere but in things that really matter. What a disappointment. https://t.co/IZhXqFjAW4
