Broadway star Lea Salonga opened up on why she decided to unfollow RM and J-Hope from BTS.

On Threads, the Filipino singer said she did it simply for her own peace of mind.

Note that RM and J-Hope were criticized after attending an Usher and Chris Brown concert earlier this month, with many insisting they are empowering the latter despite history of domestic abuse.

On her Threads account, a fan asked Lea: "Your statement on the CB & RM/Jhope issue was firm & appreciated. Has your point of view changed since then?”

Lea answered:

"First off, my being a fan can be equated to a single grain of sand on a massive beach. Whatever my actions are won’t affect anyone, except maybe cause consternation in the minds of other fans, which I do expect and accept responsibility for,” she shared.

Lea also added that she made the decision realizing she is already getting affected about the issue.

"It’s not meant to be punitive to either of them at all. But I recognized that I was waking up sad and/or upset, or finding myself way too affected. This was unhealthy, so I took a step back, for me,” she said.

She continued: "As many fans have rightly pointed out, we are owed nothing really. They are autonomous human beings, but so am I, and whatever decisions I make are mine alone. If I hurt anyone in the aftermath, that isn’t my intention, but I’m sorry if I hurt you nonetheless."

In the end, Lea made clear she remains a fan of the group.

"I am still so grateful for the typhoon they created in my life when they arrived in 2020. I was navigating my marriage ending, raising a teenager, and a global pandemic (not to mention the occasional death threat due to politics). They saved my sanity when I needed saving. I’ll never forget that,” she concluded.
