Social media can be a battlefield for misinformation — and ARMY knows this all too well. A viral post recently claimed that BTS leader **RM called Jungkook’s smash hit *Seven* a “trash” song**. Spoiler: it never happened. Let’s break it all down.

## What Was the BTS Viral Claim?

On March 24, a claim began circulating online after a post from @BuzzingPop gained traction, stating that BTS leader RM had called Jungkook’s solo track *Seven* “trash.” The post included two unrelated images of RM and Jungkook.

As it spread rapidly, fans started digging for the actual source — and what they found told a completely different story.

## What Actually Happened — Fact Check Table

| Claim | Reality |
| --- | --- |
| RM called *Seven* “trash” | **FALSE** — never said |
| Source of the clip | Spotify x BTS: SWIMSIDE event |
| What RM actually said | Asked about JK’s shower song, then suggested *Seven* |
| RM’s attitude toward *Seven* | Positive — hummed it on Weverse Live |
| Did RM promote *Seven*? | Yes — posted it on his Instagram Stories |

## What RM *Actually* Said

The moment in question comes from a recent Spotify x BTS: SWIMSIDE event. The full version of the clip, around 15 seconds long, shows the interaction without edits. In that recording, there is no instance of RM using the word “trash” or making a negative remark about the song. RM simply asked Jungkook a question about his shower song and then suggested *Seven*.

## RM Has Always Supported *Seven*

Far from criticizing the track, RM has openly embraced it. During a Weverse live session in 2023, RM was heard humming and singing parts of *Seven*, including lines from the explicit version — a moment that quickly caught fans’ attention online. Around the time the single dropped, he had also posted *Seven* on his Instagram Stories to promote it. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil:_Born_Again_season_2)

This is the kind of brotherly support ARMY knows BTS is built on.
