BTS pioneer RM posted an Instagram Story that Chinese web clients saw as help for an excluded Korean competitor.
That irritated a few Chinese web-based media clients, and they left noxious remarks on BTS' Instagram account.
BTS fans are retaliating by flooding the post's remarks with purple heart emoticons to muffle the disdain.
K-pop genius teen pop band BTS is confronting reaction via web-based media in China after bunch pioneer RM posted an Instagram Story in evident help of a South Korean Olympian.
In the post, RM, whose genuine name is Kim Nam Joon, shared a video clasp of the questionable men's diminutive track 1,000 meters semi-finals from Monday at the Winter Olympics, where Korea's Hwang Dae Heon completed first.
The race ignited discussion as Hwang - the world's number two in the game - was thusly precluded for connecting with China's Li Wenlong.
Despite the fact that RM didn't compose any text to go with the video, he posted two applauding emoticons and a thumbs-up emoticon, which clients deciphered as help for Hwang. The fact that angered Chinese fans makes what more.
