Kapuso star Ruru Madrid responded to a netizen when asked about his reaction about people bashing him because of his alleged copying of BTS’s Kim Taehyung.
BTS is a South Korean K-pop all-male group where Kim Taehyung or better known as V belongs. Madrid happens to idolize the K-pop star.
Some netizens, especially the fans of BTS called ‘Army’, have been criticizing Madrid because they were upset that the young artist has been copying V’s fashion style.
On his Twitter account, the 22-year old artist mentioned that he understands if the Army people have been bashing him because he seems to be copying V. He said that it may only be because they love their idol so much and don’t want anyone to copy them.
But despite all the negative criticisms about him, Madrid said that he won’t let anyone affect him and will continue being a fan of the said K-pop group.
Ayos lang po. Naiintindihan ko naman po sila siguro ganun lang po talaga nila kamahal ang BTS. Pero di naman po ako papaapekto, patuloy pa rin ako magiging fan at susupprta sa kanila. Borahae💜 https://t.co/v2GUE0Tqvj
