[RUMORS] Rap Monster

Alleged evidence of relationship between BTS's Rap Monster and 15&'s Yerin resurface

A/N: 2015 lang ang issue na 'to!

In light of BTS Rap Monster's recent debut mixtape release, netizens brought back previous rumors of 15& Yerin's relationship with the rapper.

Netizens began to speculate the close relationship between the two idols when they noted Yerin calling the rapper "Namjoon-Namjoon" (his given Korean name) without using an honorific (out of respect for those older) nor "oppa" (often meaning older brother or close older friend).

On an episode of After School Club, Yerin publicly use the nickname saying, "Oh, he's my friend. Hi Namjoon-Namjoon," to which Rap Monster replied, "Hi, Yerin-Yerin," on a later episode.

She often shows her support by promoting BTS's songs as well as Rap Monster's music and was spotted using the nickname when she shared Rap Monster's "What Am I To You" as well as Bangtan Boy's first album Danger last summer.  BTS has also tweeted a screenshot of 15&'s "Little Star" saying that it put them in a good mood.

Their friendship caught the eye of netizens because of their close relationship and their casual speech towards one another despite their four years age difference.

A/N: 2013 o 2014 issue 'to. Kung napanuod nyo yung cover ng BTS sa Shinhwa songs This Love & T.O.P (2013 o 2014 ata yun) sa isang music show I forgot the name of the show. Nagkaroon ng issue si Rapmonster dun may mga na offend na fans or non fans na nakapanuod ng video yung sa part ni Rap Monster may part sa lyrics na nabanggit na 'niggas' basta yun yung naging issue, pakibasa nalang 'to para mas malinaw.

Rap Monster Says the N Word

So, in a recent cover of two of Shinhwa songsThis Love & T.O.P & Even in the original, one of the members says "This is how we do it you niggas better know".I'm not standing up for Rap Monster in any way; he's been testing my patience since the whole SimSImtapa incident in which he said his special talent is "talking black".But, why was no one flipping out 15 years ago when the original video was released, in fact, as close as a week ago people were commenting on the video saying how awesome the song is, but completely ignoring the fact that one of the members clearly said the N word.People can call it ignorance in both cases since Korea is a country where some people have never seen someone who isn't Korean, but things are changing.There isn't an excuse; Rap Monster has said multiple times that he's a fan of Tupac & B.I.G, along with the fact that BTS has fans of various nationalities, including African Americans, yet he doesn't consider that his fans may be offended by his use of the word.Whether it's the original lyrics or not, he could have edited the lyrics so that they weren't as offensive, even if it was just that one line.However, I believe that the original is really to blame, because fans should of been against Shinhwa's use of the word first, not all of a sudden start hating Rap Monster because he said it, but thinking it's ok that someone in Shinhwa said it.Also, I'm not just saying this because I'm black & I think only blacks should be able to use the word; I don't think anyone should use the word because it's always going to be known as a derogatory term, even if people have began using it to replace words such as "\bruh/dude/bro/whatever".At the same time, this shouldn't make you hate BTS, nor does it mean to hate Rap Monster. He's wrong for what he did, but from the backlash that he'll, hopefully, receive he'll learn than he made a mistake & will learn from this so as not to make a similar mistake again
