Was RM's "paved the way" comment in the rap verse of 'Neva Play' that problematic and why are netizens hating him for that?

This particular rap genre is typically braggadocious, with more of a vibe than a literal interpretation of the words. Like random, I am the best statement in hip-hop. If you consider every random lyric you see in this kind of genre in the literal sense, then there is no end to it.

BTS fingerprints are over everything a typical K-Pop stan nowadays enjoys. The first act on vlive that popularized lives and was considered the primary revenue generator. BTS. YouTube shows? BTS. English subtitle? BTS. Fan platforms outside of Daum? BTS. Live-streamed concerts? BTS. Entirely English songs? BTS. Stadium tour? BTS. Performing in Grammy and various USA award shows? BTS. Even the various HYBE artists that enjoy collaboration and expansion today are based on the connection built during BTS's global expansion.

Did RM/BTS pave the way for the entirety of Asia? If you consider the words literally, then no. But, K-Pop? Yes. And that's why these lyrics should be taken as the typical braggadocious and vibey way rather than literal.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

But, if the lyrics of Nevaplay are interpreted literally, RM/BTS did indeed pave the way for the literal global recognition of K-Pop in the mainstream sense and the inculcation of some of the significant K-Pop culture that K-Poppies seem to enjoy.

K-Poppies panties are in a twist because they can't digest facts and also hating RM is normalized in K-Pop hemisphere.

There isn't an end to it, and here, I have just mentioned a few among many.

When do you feel most peaceful ever?
