Fan reveals how she accidentally sent letter meant for ZEROBASEONE's Matthew to BTS' RM; asks former to hire her for promotion
BTS fan has revealed that the Matthew mentioned in her letter is ZEROBASEONE member Matthew. In a humorous twist, she also asked him to hire her after mistakenly sending the letter to RM!
On September 18, BTS’ RM engaged with fans on Weverse, and one interaction quickly went viral on X. An ARMY named Julie shared a heartfelt letter meant for her bias, but she accidentally addressed it to Matthew instead of RM. This left RM puzzled, prompting him to ask, “Who’s Matthew?” The unexpected moment delighted fans and sparked laughter among ARMYs as it circulated online. This even lead for the fan to ask for Matthew to hire her as she did some good promotion!
The interaction sparked a wave of hilarious memes, with some fans even visualizing the incident. Amid the laughter, it also brought up the question that RM was eager to know the answer to from the beginning: Who is Matthew?
One fandom had the answer: ZEROBASEONE fans quickly recognized the name, as Seok Matthew is a member of the group. The original poster, Julie, also addressed the mix-up on X, explaining that she keeps different messages saved in her notes app for various idols. In a moment of panic over RM’s sudden Weverse activity, she accidentally copied and pasted the wrong one. Julie confirmed that, indeed, Matthew is ZEROBASEONE’s Seok Matthew!
ZEROSEs (ZEROBASEONE’s fandom name) have been eagerly hoping that Matthew would join the conversation, especially given the incident's viral nature. Julie recently tweeted that she informed Matthew about his newfound fame via Plus Chat. In response, he playfully suggested that they should be official promoters, adding, “Love you,” to express his gratitude. She even humorously asked him to hire her, given how much traction the message gained, leading to Matthew becoming super popular among other fandoms as well!
