Recently, BTS member RM in an interview with Billboard Magazine, responded to allegations against the ARMY, the K-pop group’s fans, of manipulating music charts to aide the group’s hold on top spots.

“It’s a fair question. But if there is a conversation inside Billboard about what being N. 1 should represent, then it’s up to them to change the rules and make streaming weigh more on the ranking. Slamming us or our fans for getting to No 1 with physical sales and downloads, I don’t know if that’s right … It just feels like we’re easy targets because we’re a boy band, a K-pop act, and we have this high fan loyalty,” said RM.
