Although there are no rules or constraints regarding idols not being able to date, this is actually an implicit limit that toxic fans attach to idols. Of course, especially for Kpop superstars like BTS, dating is considered a more serious problem than ever.
In recent times, there have been many rumors related to BTS members dating and RM is also one of them. Recently, he even had to face a question related to his personal life during a live broadcast. But he did not shy away and gave straightforward answers to fans to clarify recent dating rumors.
Below is RM's response to questions from fans and the public about his relationship status:
In their decades-long career, there have been very few times when BTS members have been involved in dating "scandals". But recently, this achievement has changed when many dating rumors began to surround the members. From V and the unknown photos of him supposedly dating Jennie to the video impersonating Jungkook accusing him of dating a woman at his own apartment.
Even most recently, RM was suspected of dating Somi because the two were often seen appearing together at many events as well as having photos that were considered "intimate". Meanwhile, fans of both idols know that they are actually close friends since meeting each other at G-Dragon's party earlier this year. Somi herself also revealed that the two quickly became close friends because they shared many things in common.
Not only that, there have been more strange rumors related to RM's private life including being married and having children. Specifically, RM was previously rumored to have secretly married a tycoon's lady. In another rumor, he was accused of having a daughter and it was even a topic that received a lot of attention. But in the end, the above rumors all disappeared because they were unverified and had no real evidence.
But even so, toxic individuals do not easily forgive RM and are always curious about his relationship status. Therefore, during RM's October 10 broadcast, he received a surprise question among the fans' comments: “Introduce your girlfriend". It's actually a comment enough to make RM attention!
Immediately, RM humorously blurted out, “Oh sh̾i̾t ̾,” and added, “I really want to, but I have none right now.” Not only that, he even had a very smart way of asking those same toxic fans for help: “Can you introduce me one?”
Immediately after his response, ARMYs couldn't help but agree that he really has a smart, funny, and sharp way of dealing with such offensive comments. Some even expressed their excitement that they wished he would introduce his girlfriend right then and there and the scene would be so cool. While others are lining up to take that position:
- we all know who is namjoon’s girlfriend. It's me
- Fans often have fun speculating about their favorite celebrities, but it's essential to respect their privacy and personal lives. Let's focus on enjoying their music and talents!
- now that live was over …. i though joon was about to announce that eh had girlfriend .. like my heart paused LMAOAAOAO
- nah bc i really thought he was about to pan the camera to his girl
- that pause after “i really want to” had me in shambles

- I AM AVAILABLE NAMJOON
- I'm happy he said 'right now' bc this man have the right and deserves the best person in the world to be by his side. So I hope he will get one in the future
- he said “rn” i’m so ready for the era of them actually sharing their partners with us

- I VOLUNTEER MYSELF AS A TRIBUTE!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously, idols are normal people too and RM is mature enough to be ready for a romantic relationship of his own. Therefore, no one, including fans, has the right to prohibit or violate his private relationship in any way.
RM's answer and attitude also clearly shows toxic fans where they should know their limits. Although at this time, RM does not have a girlfriend, he is still open to having a sweet love story at some point in the future. RM's laid-back attitude to this made fans even more proud and sympathetic than ever.
