BTS' J-Hope, RM face backlash over Chris Brown concert
J-Hope and RM are two singers in a very famous music group called BTS.
They went to a concert where another singer named Chris Brown was performing.
J-Hope posted videos of the concert on Instagram to show they were having fun.
Some BTS fans got very upset when they saw the videos.
They were upset because Chris Brown has been accused of hurting people in the past.
Some fans said it was wrong for J-Hope and RM to support him, especially because many BTS fans are women.
Other people said the two singers were just there to enjoy the music.
Right now, J-Hope and RM have not said anything about the complaints.
BTS is on a big world tour and recently played shows in Baltimore, Maryland.
BTS members J-Hope and RM attended a Chris Brown concert, and J-Hope shared videos from the show on Instagram.
The appearance sparked backlash among fans over Chris Brown's history of violence and sexual misconduct allegations.
Social media users expressed disappointment, questioning whether the duo should attend and advertise the concert.
Neither RM nor J-Hope has publicly addressed the criticism so far.
