K-pop is no stranger to beautiful faces. Henry Cavill’s charms aren’t hidden either. So what happened? Why was the internet flipped by RM and Henry Cavill?
Just last week, multiple outlets reported that BTS leader RM had been crowned as the Most Beautiful Face of 2022.
The news was then relayed by several media and, you know how the internet works… Soon, the rumor went around the world.
Fans started the celebrations and trended the hashtag “Most Handsome Man Namjoon” for a few days and it was indeed a global party.
However, the other end revealed xenophobia at its peak as it was also reported that RM had supposedly dethroned Henry Cavill from his rightful position by pushing him to number 2 and taking the top spot. This prompted people to make racist remarks against the BTS member and eventually, a feud between the two sides took center stage.

“Even the worst photo of Henry Cavill is better than Kim Namjoon with makeup”
- “A blonde bat dipped in cranberry sauce is better than naam ka junoon”
- ” Why why “
- “What is he/she? Trans or something like that? »
- “It’s so weird to know that Korean men wear makeup”
- “Korea and China both. But Koreans are on another level when it comes to makeup.”
- “You have no idea how much kpop fans vote for this kind of thing”
The issue was brought to the attention of TC Candler and The Independent Critics who made an announcement about it:

“For those who requested and spread the meme… No, we haven’t released the 2022 lists yet. We don’t release the Top 100 lists until the end of December.
Even though we love both RM (Kim Nam-joon) and Henry Cavill, neither of them has ever been crowned a winner or even made the Top 5.
Nothing has been decided in 2022 and nothing will be until we vote in December.
If you see the meme or news floating around on social media, please ignore it and don’t share it.
Thank you — TC Candler”
