BTS RM Suspended from Role Model List After Chris Brown Concert Backlash
BTS leader RM and fellow member J-Hope attended a Chris Brown and Usher concert in Toronto, prompting criticism due to Brown's history of violence allegations. Following backlash, The Pixel Project, a nonprofit focused on ending violence against women, indefinitely suspended RM from its list of male role models. The organisation had previously recognised RM for his efforts against misogyny and violence. The decision sparked debate about celebrity accountability and the expectations placed on public figures regarding their associations.
