It didn’t last long, though. And some are convinced it’s because ARMYs spotted a hickey he was trying to hide.

the MOST namjoon thing on earth is trying to have a wholesome checkin and everyone realizing he got his shit rocked on valentine’s day

A small but dark bruise showed on RM’s neck during the live broadcast. Surely since he was wearing a jacket, he thought it wouldn’t show, but as soon as it did and ARMYs pointed it out, he started covering it with his hands before ultimately ending the live broadcast.

Namjoon conveniently using his hands to block his hickey after someone asked him what happened to his neck then suddenly ends the live a few minutes later. This was NOT on my bingo card for 2023 but I am HOWLING pic.twitter.com/i5BvbpKB33

ARMYs were shook to see RM with what appeared to be a hickey. So, soon “HICKEY” became a trending topic on Twitter.

Yet, others are convinced that it’s not a hickey but rather a bruise from CrossFit. Before ending the live broadcast, RM had mentioned he had been doing CrossFit.

Namjoon live :
what happened to my neck?
i got a bit hurt, when i was doing CrossFit trying to muscle up haha
Ohh namjoonie #NAMJOON #KimNamjoon #BTS #BTSRM #btspavedthewayforall #RM #NAMJOONLIVE #Weverse_LIVE #WeLoveYouNamjoon
WE LOVE YOU NAMJOON pic.twitter.com/MohktgzObK

So, other ARMYs believe that it’s an injury from CrossFit, as RM said. They even researched pictures showing others’ bruises received from doing CrossFit. It’s more common than you think.

Ok we should just believe what he said. Even if it is an actual hickey he’s a grown man and can do whatever he wants …let’s not act crazy pic.twitter.com/PyX6xcPFtS

Still, some were not convinced. Those who have done CrossFit before said there is no such exercise that could give bruises like RM’s.

things that happened to me at crossfit:
– crying
– puking
– almost passing out
– a fat ass

things that did not happen at crossfit:
– hickeys

So, a debate has sparked within the fandom. There are ARMYs who still truly think RM has a hickey and those who believe it’s CrossFit, as RM said.

everybody loves a lil jokey joke but someone always goes too far. namjoon has no reason to lie about where the scars/bruises are from & if he says it’s from crossfit then it is. yet some (i.e. weirdo hard stans) are hellbent on tryna prove he’s a liar … that boy SUCKS at lying.

the way i believe namjoon when he says he got it from crossfit purely because i dont think anyone receives/gives hickeys over the age of 23…. pic.twitter.com/exjzCwEv49
