ARMYs all over the world have been waiting for the man who wrote the ultimate heartwarming song, “Trivia: Love,” actually to find his own love.
BTS’s leader, RM, is known for his lyricism and philosophy of life, which is reflected in his songs and speeches. Even as an ardent AMRY Noona, I always wondered how a person could articulate different meanings of love, life, and people but barely experience these emotions himself.
“사람을 사랑으로 만들 사람
that you are the one who will make a person into a love
사람 [saram] to 사랑 [sarang]”
Kim Namjoon, a.k.a RM, can serve you a hopeful future with a little bit of poignancy and a lot of ways to love yourself.
During one of the ending moments in the concerts, RM’s words hit like an epiphany when he expressed the harsh truth. He said–
“I’ve had to accept that – that everyone cannot love me. Because when there’s love, there’s hate. When there’s light, there’s dark.”
And even after the despair in the world, RM teaches a way to find that love within yourself–
“If you want to love others, you should love yourself first.”

These pearls of wisdom come from a man who carried his group from a “Nugu” to the biggest band in the world. Namjoon’s unique take on life has inspired ARMYs to express themselves freely and “Speak Yourself.”
Yet, the question lingers…. How can anyone write words that resonate with millions? And then, the rumor mills started spinning.
On November 6, 2023, the K-Pop world was shooketh with the news of BTS’s RM dating Aespa’s Karina. These reports were based on the speculations after the two appeared (separately) at an event by the South Korean indie rock band Se So Neon. However, these rumors were quickly debunked when K-Netz called out the bogus evidence as circumstantial and stated that these rumors were ridiculous.
Is BTS’s RM Really Dating Aespa’s Karina?
The hawk-eyed netizens are back at it again!
Amidst the barren, slow cycle of K-Pop news, netizens are looking for any juicy rumor they can get. And it seems like they found one speck to make a mountain out of a molehill.
RM loves to amp up the hype for the unexplored indie musical acts from Korea. Hence, he instantly formed a connection with So!Yoon ( Hwang So Yoon) the lead vocalist and guitarist for the indie rock duo band Se So Neon.
RM also featured in one of So Yoon’s songs, “Smoke Sprite.”
At the same time, Aespa’s Karina also extends her support to the rock duo and is friends with So Yoon.
In a recent event hosted by So Yoon and her band member bassist Park Hyun Jin, RM, and Karina were both in attendance, but separately.
The detective netizens took this as a sign that the two major K-Pop idols appearing simultaneously at an event as dating. The rumor spread like wildfire, but the majority of their fans just scoffed at the news, calling it “ridiculous.”
Netizens commented–
“I’m sorry this is the most ridiculous one yet tying two idols together.”
“Karina only looks at a guy’s face.”
“Ignore posts like this because it’s written by delusional middle-aged women.”
“RM said he has no girlfriend.”
“I’m an ARMY and I’m sorry…this is the funniest dating rumor that a BTS member was involved in.”
“The evidence they posted is so weak.”
“The evidence they posted… lol.”
“This is so ridiculous that it’s so funny.”
[P.S Whoever started this rumor, just don’t let Jungkook find out about this…if you know, you know.]
