While fans have been missing the members, a recent video of RM has sparked more concern than anything.

Many fans came to the idol’s defense over smoking, however, many brought up another issue with the video being shared.

As the group are on vacation, a large number of fans have seen this as an invasion of privacy. Many have expressed concerns that overzealous fans have been following the members as they go about their free time.
