Rothenberg took to Twitter to share a post from the ATP Tour and wrote about how a "BTS fella" sitting quietly instantly increases the engagement of a social media post. "A reminder of where tennis sits in the pecking order of the pop culture world when a BTS fella (sitting there doing not much) utterly dynamites normal tennis social media engagement numbers like this." However, Rothenberg's cheeky tweet did not go well with the Korean boy band's fans, who lined up immediately to troll the journalist. One user pointed out Rothenberg's statement of not doing anything and said the singer had come to just enjoy the match, sarcastically wondering if he had to perform everywhere he went. "You expected him to do something? He was there to watch a game and not to entertain a loser like you!! B1TCH!!! Yours @SpaceMisty9297You expected him to do something?

B1TCH!!! twitter.com/benrothenberg/… Another user pointed out the singer's fame as a cause of such high engagement rate on social media, something that is unlikely to happen in the case of others, including Rothenberg.
