New Delhi: RM, the leader of BTS, has drawn criticism for posting a song that appeared to belittle a faith. Days following a portion of social media outrage, the K-pop idol went on to clarify and explain the matter in great detail. Kim Namjoon urged the BTS ARMY and the public to believe him when he took to Weverse on Wednesday to stress that he had no such intent and that the song was just for entertainment. 

RM further explained that he was merely expressing the truth and wasn't making an apology.

"Okay guys I know what you are talking about. You just keep telling me that I insulted a religion but I didn't. There was no any intention or like purpose to insult a religion. I respect every belief and every religion that's all I could say. So please don't. I know what's going on in my Instagram, I can see. But I never...there was no such any purpose or at least one percent of my heart or intention to insult a religion okay? Guys (shakes his head), it's a song, okay? I am not apologising, I am just saying," Kim Namjoon said.

RM asserted that he only means to express his truth and said, "Please a word is a word, believe my words from myself, not just guessing, pretending and assuming, okay? I know I can't, I know my limits, even if I am telling my truth, I know I can't convince and persuade every people. Maybe some people would think of me like, 'Oh no you still lie. You had that intention and purpose to insult', which I didn't, I never. Guys, I understand what you are saying but I just can't lie to you. I am just being honest."

"I am fine, there are no problems. But I heard that there are some problems and the noise is all around. So I just had to say about that because some people keep chatting with me about that," he added.
