On the 7th, BTS RM posted an IG story of Korean athlete Hwang Dae-heon of passing two Chinese opponents in the semi-finals and added a "clapping" and "thumbs up" emoji to the story.
The scene RM posted applauding Hwang Dae-heon is from when he took the lead just before passing the finish line. While there were no clashes in the process, Hwang Dae-heon was disqualified due to an ambiguous decision by the referee causing frustration and anger among Koreans.
