RM "Shuts Down" a Fan's Discussion About His Leg Injury on Instagram

 



As ARMYs know, just before BTS's comeback stage at Gwanghwamun in late March, RM suffered an ankle injury during rehearsals. At the time, BigHit Music stated, "A medical diagnosis confirmed a sprain of the accessory navicular, a partial ligament tear, and a talus contusion (which includes ligament damage and inflammation). As advised by medical professionals, he must wear a cast and strictly limit movement for a minimum of two weeks to focus solely on his recovery."

Following this, during several promotional events for ARIRANG—including the Gwanghwamun stage and performances in the United States—RM was seen with his leg in a cast or moving with crutches. Even so, he occassionally tried to groove along with the music by swaying his upper body, moving his arms, or lightly stepping to the rhythm. Fortunately, his injury healed in time for BTS to officially begin their world tour, and he can now be cnsidered fully recovered.




Nevertheless, discussions surrounding RM's injury have continued to linger, especially the bittersweet and humorous moments from when he had to limit his choreography but remained intensely passionate on stage and with his fans. His "giving-it-his-all" spirit has since become the inspiration for numerous viral memes on social media.

Recently, a humorous video related to his leg injury—which had already gone viral weeks earlier—unexpectedly caught the rapper's attention. The clip shows a man performing complex dance moves with crutches, accompanied by a caption comparing to RM's energetic performance at the Gwanghwamun concert, when he was wearing a cast due to his injury.

RM later liked the video and left a comment directly underneath, writing, "Clock it," showing that he found the joke amusing.





What made the situation particularly noteworthy was that RM's brief comment appeared directly above a much longer comment written weeks earlier by another fan. This person had criticized the original poster, arguing that making jokes about RM's injury was insensitive, and speculated that the rapper might feel hurt if he happened to see the video.

The contrast between his fans's serious speculation and RM's actual reaction left many people amused. A post capturing this moment soon went viral across social media, garnering over one million views as fans dicussed how RM had effectively "clocked" the overinterpretation of his emotions.




One fan wrote, "Perfect example, of the boys being way funnier than al lot of you who try to control everything and everyone all the time." Another added, "Well... Namjoon plucked that petal from the high tree and threw it on the floor really quickly." One fan even exclaimed, "My God, Namjoon, you probably didn't know this, but you gave us the best screenshot ever. From now on, whenever someone tries to make a big deal out of something trivial or harmless, I'm going to use this screenshot."

Others saw it as a reminder that fans should sometimes rela and avoid overanalyzing the personal feelings of BTS members. They commented:
  • This confirms to met that Joon would find like 80% of ARMY Twitter humor absolutely hilarious
  • If he didn't find it funny, he wouldn't have interacted with it. Why did she have to write a whole paragraph about feelings she doesn't even know? Only Joonie knows his own feelings.
  • I hate these types of fans—they always think they know what's best for the members, just for the members to come out and prove them wrong every time.
  • F*ck off, dumbass!! Go bother somebody else other than RM and all BTS members. Aren't there enough people on this planet to criticize besides them? If all these people used the same time to say or do positive things, the world could be such a better place. But sadly, negativity is easier.
  • Thirteen years into the game and fans still haven't learned to stop babying these grown men...
  • Imagine the embarrassment he/she felt after seeing Namjoon's comment.
  • Who's going to tell her that the members actually want us to have a best-friend-like relationship, not a caretaker-and-patient type of dynamic?
  • Why do people feel the need to speak for idols? Do they forget they have a sense of humor too? LMFAO.
  • Namjoon next time: "ARMYs, you got no jams." I laughed way too hard at this—Jesus, take the wheel.
