Fans react as BTS' RM remains unfazed and supports South Korea's short-track team
On February 13, 2022, South Korea's women's short-track relay team comprised of athletes Choi Min-jeong, Lee Yu-bin, Kim A-lang and Seo Whi-min bagged second place and won the silver medal in the women’s 3000 meter final.
Soon enough, globally famous K-pop idol RM took to his official Instagram account and posted a story cheering the women’s short-track team. In his Instagram story, RM shared two pictures of South Korea's women's short-track team with the caption "Style."
Upon seeing RM’s Instagram story, none other than short-track speed skater, Lee Yu-bin reshared it and thanked him for following the race. The athlete also promised him that she will skate with even more style in the next event.
"Thank you for watching the Olympic games. I'll ride with even more style at the next event. This is from your 7 years long ARMY and an Olympic athlete."
Fans once again took to Twitter to back the singer for supporting his country and South Korea's women's short-track speed skating team. They stated that RM proved himself to be a strong and courageous person who doesn't forget his morals.
Meanwhile, Lee was just 16 years old when she won the gold medal at PyeongChang in 2018 and showed her affinity for the Beijing rink by winning the 1500m in the World Cup opener in October.
Choi, Kim and Lee are eligible for all races and relays while the newcomers, Seo and Park, will only be able to compete in the relays.
