Fans thought the situation was strange from the start.

On January 5, KST, several Korean news outlets wrote about BTS RM's recent trip to the Hwaeomsa Temple on Mount Jirisan.

Even though he posted pictures from the visit on his Instagram, fans were surprised to see that media outlets were quoting the temple's chief monk, who had spent some time talking to RM about his personal affairs.

The most interesting parts of the articles were that RM has been giving 500 bags a year to Good World Charity Bank, a children's aid organization run by Venerable Deokmun, the head of the Hwaeomsa Temple, and that he talked to monk Deokmun about his enlistment when monk Deokmun directly asked RM about BTS's expectations for getting out of the military.

The news spread all over the internet, and while fans praised RM for his sincere charity work, many also wondered if his private conversation with the monk was being broadcast without his permission.

A few hours later, RM posted several Instagram stories that seemed to show that he didn't like what was going on.

In the first story, he posted a screenshot of the article with a caption saying that he didn't expect articles to be written about this topic.

In the next story, he said that the next time he went to a temple, he would go to a different temple to keep his visit quiet. This was followed by another story with the hashtag "lowkey must be lowkey."

"Next time I'll make a quiet visit to a different temple…" —RM via Instagram

Fans also noticed that he took down all of the posts on Instagram that had photos from his trip to the temple.

All of these things make it clear to ARMYs that the media violated RM's privacy, and neither the conversation nor Jin's enlistment date announcement are things that RM wanted to be made public.

Since then, the artist's fans have shown their support by asking that his privacy be respected.

Fans have also been careful to remind each other not to take out their anger on the temple or religion itself.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
