ARMYs have hit back at HYBE and Weverse for disrespecting BTS‘s RM in a new article.
In 2017, BTS released the track “Spring Day.”
In particular, RM starts the song and through his lyrics and huge contributions to the song, the words hit so much with fans worldwide.
Recently, Weverse Magazine shared an article about the song. From the beautiful image at the top to the words throughout, it hit with many fans as the track is extremely special to so many fans.
Among the beautiful analysis of the song, the article explained RM’s desire for the track with a small quote from the group’s book Beyond the Story. Sadly, this was the only mention of RM in the entire article about the song.
RM’s wish of wanting to create a song that is “loved by Korean people for a long time” as mentioned in BEYOND THE STORY : 10-YEAR RECORD OF BTS has come true.
When the post was shared, netizens hit back at HYBE and Weverse for underplaying RM’s contributions to the song.
In particular, many shared why “Spring Day” is so important for ARMYs and RM’s role in the song. While Weverse released the article, many put the blame on HYBE, who they believe must read the material before publishing it on the platform they created.
Weverse article about ‘Spring Day’ is a diabolical and disrespectful. What makes it worse, its authored by Myeongseok Kang.

“According to RM, “Spring Day” began as a message to friends:
______When I wrote the lyrics to that song, I remember I really tried to write to my friends. Friends like the ones who left my side, the ones I see once in a while but are so far away that even though we’re under the… pic.twitter.com/YY5MUgyPHI— indigo is 1 year old!
