Kapanlagi.com - The song Bad Religion by singer Frank Ocean released in 2012 has gained attention again. It all started when RM BTS posted on his IG Story that he was listening to this song.

For those who don't know, this song Bad Religion is said to have Islamophobic lyrics. Some also say that this song is Frank Ocean's reaction to Islam's prohibition of LGBT and the like.

Because of this sentiment, many K-Pop fans and netizens were upset about why RM shared this song. The hashtag RM APLOGIES TO MUSLIM even trended on Twitter.

1. Some Criticisms for RM

Some posts on X (Twitter) expressing disappointment with RM's actions:

"As a Muslim, I have been a BTS Army for four years and I love BTS more than you can imagine. But this is completely unacceptable. No one should disrespect our Islam. This is the first time I have been hurt because of BTS, but I also know they cannot hurt anyone. Everyone makes mistakes. RM apologizes to Muslims."

"I am very disappointed. I didn't expect this from Namjoon (RM's real name). As a Muslim, I feel really bad and want to cry because this comes from you. You should be the person I respect and inspire the most."

"You have many Muslim fans, campaigned in the UN about 'love yourself' only to have Islamophobia and not respect other religions and God openly. I can't put it into words.."

2. Compared to Jisoo

Although many criticize, some argue that the hatred towards RM is excessive. Many believe that RM might just like his music, not the lyrics of his songs.

Some netizens then compared it to what Jisoo BLACKPINK did some time ago. Jisoo once watched Frank Ocean's performance at Coachella. She also made an IG Story video of Frank Ocean singing Bad Religion with the addition of the word 'legendary'.

3. About Jisoo

Some comments comparing the hatred towards RM and Jisoo, who didn't receive any response when posting about Frank Ocean:

"So BLACKPINK can watch Frank Ocean at Coachella when he performs this song and Jisoo can call him legendary, but Namjoon can't share that song without being called Islamophobic?"

"So when will blonks (haters' term for BLACKPINK fans) trend JISOO APOLOGIZE TO MUSLIMS? She uploaded a video of Frank Ocean singing the same song and called it legendary. Where are you all going?"
