Yoo Jae Suk was spotted following RM’s gesture.

#2018 Korean Popular Culture & Arts Awards

 

 

 

 

On the show, Jo Se Ho brought up an “incident” that occurred between Yoo Jae Suk and RM during the 2018 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards.

 

Didn’t Yoo Jae Suk see you make a peace sign during a photo and copy you?

 

— Jo Se Ho

 

And Yoo Jae Suk confirmed the adorable incident.

 

The photo is accurate. I looked to my side and saw RM making a peace sign. I thought it looked natural and cool, so I copied him.

 

— Yoo Jae Suk

 

Then RM took the opportunity to speak up about the time he met Yoo Jae Suk prior to that 5 years ago. He shared that he appeared on SBS’s Running Man where Yoo Jae Suk treated him with warmth. RM even elaborated on what exactly Yoo Jae Suk did that made him realize his true character.

 

I got there early in the morning. The staff were all tired, so they were sleeping. But Yoo Jae Suk came out to say some nice things, and he even asked how my parents were doing. That’s when I realized he’s the real deal.

Some comments about Namjoon after appearing on “You Quiz on the Block”

 

 

✔️ RM seems to be getting more handsome, really... He’s become more manly, but he seems to be more handsome and handsome because he seems to think deeply from what he says. It’s just so cool.

 

✔️ Namjoon is really handsome in person. I was surprised because Namjoon’s face was so small in person. He’s really tall.

 

✔️ Namjoon is my favourite member for 5 years. He’s so cool that he breaks my heart.

 

✔️ Namjoon has a brilliant mind, but he basically reads a lot of books.

 

✔️ He has great leadership. His lyrics make him deserve the Nobel Prize for Culture.

 

✔️ Our leader really has a different depth of thought. I’m so proud.

 

✔️ He’s so handsome. Especially, his eyes are cool. He’s getting cooler.

 

✔️ Yeah, he’s getting cooler and a really nice guy.

 

✔️ I’m a man like RM, but he is very mature and proud, I feel once again that the leader of the team is an important person and role.

 

✔️ Namjoon is eloquent.

 

✔️ Namjoon is big but cute. He looks very charismatic and cute.

[KBS Entertainment Weekly]

 

RM ranked 5th for “Nation’s Uhmchinah/Uhmchinddal”

 

 

*Uhm Chin Ah (your mother’s friend’s brilliant son who you get compared to)
*Uhm Chin Ddal (your mother’s friend’s brilliant daughter who you get compared to)

 

*엄친아 (uhm chin ah) is short for 엄마 친구 아들 (mother’s friend’s son) so it’s like that perfect, well-rounded, successful, ideal kid that makes people jealous, it’s coming from when mothers compare their own kid to others’ kid.

 

They mentioned how RM has an IQ of 148, he’s in the top 1.3% student nationwide (clip from Running Man), he has a fluent ability in English, his TOEIC in 2nd-grade middle school was 850 and scored 797 on TEPS in 3rd-grade middle school.

 

They mentioned how RM answered interviews and interpret for the group when they’re on western schedules. Amplifying their voices all around the world through BTS’ (RM) UN Speech.

 

And recently, he took TOEIC test to “cool down” his head, he said he “messed up” (t/n: he did say he messed up the reading section) but he scored 915 nonetheless.

[Special Interview] BTS Japan Official Fanclub Magazine

 

Q. RM who writes lyrics as if they come from how he thinks deeply about the world. What makes you want to write lyrics?

 

RM: Everything has two sides. Sometimes there are good times, so we can expect that there will also be bad times, and if there is light there are shadows. The world has many layers, and they are 3D. Ever since I started thinking like that, I’ve been able to accept everything in a straightforward manner. I get inspiration from those who can find a reason in things or phenomena that other people don’t really notice. For example when flowers are blooming, only a few people try to learn how many petals one flower contains. I also recently learned that Forsythia have 4 petals. I treasure these "realization/perception" rather than the facts that can be seen at a glance.

The Philosopher Who Raps
BTS’ start, RM

 

 

BTS’ leader RM is the start of BTS. He who have fell into Hip-Hop after listening to ‘Fly’ by Epik High during his elementary, he has already gotten acknowledgement from rappers during his middle school while going under the nickname Runch Randa. After Sleepy introduced him to Big Hit Entertainment, he has become founding BTS. Bang Si Hyuk explained, “I was impressed by the way RM dealt with subjects, the depth in his thoughts, fluent on usage of words, creative skill on rapping.”

 

RM usually told, “There is two ways you can change the world. First is become a revolutionist, second method is look at the world in positivity, I want to do both. I’ll achieve both.” And he has wonderfully achieved it. In 2018 September 24th, right before the opening of the 73rd UN General Assembly, UNICEF’s Generation Unlimited program RM has successfully delivered their message for 6 min 30 sec.

 

“I’m Kim Namjoon and also RM of BTS. I’m an idol and I’m an artist from a small town in Korea. Like most people, I’ve made many and plenty mistakes in my life. I have many faults, and I have many more fears, but I’m going to embrace myself as I hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself gradually, just little by little. What is your name? Speak yourself.”

 

His speech gave a big blow. “RM’s English Study Method” which he learned through dramas gained attention, his speech was topic on test questions and assignments throughout the world. Not only Korea but US, Singapore, and Vietnam students were given an assignment to speak about themselves after reading RM’s speech. ‘Love Yourself,’ it was the moment his message resonated with the world.

How RM melts fans’ hearts

 

 

As any BTS fan knows, RM, the band’s leader and main rapper, is a truly gifted musician -- a multitalented songwriter and performer who is fluent in English too.

 

And, though he’s known as a contemplative thinker and avid booklover, the voluble musician has also proven to be an influential speaker.

 

Whether it’s an intimate remark to fans or a formal statement to a roomful of reporters, RM has moved countless hearts with his passionate words. One music critic even said, “Interviewing RM is almost like talking with a philosopher. He is a great storyteller, and when he speaks with reporters he always gives out answers that are full of meaning and messages.”

 

Here are a few of RM’s most memorable sayings.

 

1. ‘Love Yourself: Answer’ press conference

 

RM recently impressed reporters during a press conference to publicize the group’s latest album, “Love Yourself: Answer.” This is how he explained the concept behind the album:

 

“We wanted our album to be like a festival. To throw a festival, a lot of preparations are needed, but it’s just a fleeting moment and all you’re left with is trash. Life is like a festival too. Good moments don’t last long. So we should love ourselves and enjoy those brief happy moments.”

 

When asked about the secret to BTS’ enormous success, he stated, “The public has a very high standard. They can tell what’s genuine and what’s not. While it’s difficult to be authentic and still be clever, we tried to stick to what we’re good at and used social media to effectively convey our messages.”

 

2. ‘The Wings’ concert at Prudential Center in the US

 

During the group’s sold-out show at Prudential Center in New Jersey in March 2017, part of the band’s “The Wings” world tour, RM couldn’t hide his excitement as he faced the crowd with its rainbow of glow sticks. And he welcomed concertgoers from all over the world with this powerful message:

 

“BTS in Prudential Center, two shows sold out. Am I dreaming?” he shouted out to fans in English.

 

“Music and performance transcend language, countries and races. Do you feel that?”

 

Fans waved their glow sticks to show their agreement.

 

“Yeah” he continued. “Like a rainbow, I don’t care if you’re red, blue, orange, green, purple, whatever. Thank you for celebrating this great night together.”

 

Fans reacted with comments like “He’s a beautiful human being inside and out,” and “Namjoon says a lot of inspiring things. I should just make a compilation of all the great things he’s said. A great leader.”

 

3. ‘2017 BTS Trilogy III The Wings Tour The Final’ in Seoul

 

BTS’ Seoul concert at Gocheok Sky Dome in December, part of the group’s world tour “2017 BTS Trilogy III: The Wings Tour -- The Final,” remains a favorite RM moment for fans, as it illustrates the band leader’s thoughtfulness and love for his fans.

 

After reminiscing on each member’s past and engaging in witty banter, RM delivered a speech that had many of his fans in tears -- and RM cried too.

 

“We were terrified when we just made our debut. We were really worried that we’d end up as failures, that we’d be hated. So we were like, ‘What should we do?’ ‘People won’t like us,’ and that’s all the stuff we’ve talked about,” he said.

 

“But I will hold on to this memory, I won’t forget it, because it is part of us, who we are. I’m sure things will not always go as they have, but now I know that so many people trust us and like us. So we will overcome the pain and sadness. That’s BTS.”

 

“What I want to tell you is that all of us were messy and small at first, but we made it. If our existence, music, photos or videos can influence your life and dreams, or lower your pain from 100 to 99 or 98, it’s enough to (make it worthwhile for us),” he added.

Rap Monster is thrilled by his answer, but the guys point out that Jin, who’s often called one of the worst dancers in the group along with Rap Monster, looks a bit jealous.

Compliment

 

J-Hope → RM

 

Namjoonie.. honestly, ah, really, he’s a person who truly enjoys life the way it goes. He humbly accepts what needs to be accepted, while being satisfied with his life. He keeps on doing what he needs to do. Also, he has a tight grip on himself/is able to control himself, in order for him not to become lazy. He’s also someone that has a very good self-reflecting ability.

 

— J-Hope

 

 

RM → Jin

 

As for Jin hyung, something that I feel most grateful for and want to compliment him for is that Jin hyung always says things like “Are you up for dinner tonight?”, “Want to go fishing tomorrow?”

 

Honestly, it’s natural to feel hesitant to ask those kinds of questions to the members after spending 7~8 years together. So it’s something that I always feel grateful for, that he always approaches us without hesitating.

 

Even though he’s the hyung, he never shows any sense of authority. He’s always the one to approach his dongsaengs first. I want to say that he’s a very generous hyung.

Watch the video below for full RM’s Fairy Tale interview. Source (1) (2)  

 

Spoiler

Q. Why did you choose this fairy tale?

I read many fairy tales when I was little and I was wondering which one would suit me well. "Daddy Long Legs" was among the suggestions. I thought I'd get to wear cool outfits if I chose "Daddy Long Legs" and since I'm the tallest in our group. I decided to go with that. 

 

Q. What do you have in common with Daddy Long Legs?

I don't think we have much in common but I am tall. 

 

Q. The most memorable moment in the story?

I've read it a long time ago. The most memorable scene would be when he tries to hide so that he won't be revealed.

 

Q. Do you have your own "Daddy Long Legs"?

My own Daddy Long Legs.. it would be my parents who waited and supported me in the past including my three years as a trainee and also our ARMY who are supporting us behind the scenes. I think they are my Daddy Long Legs.

 

Q. Please leave a fairytale like message for ARMY!

Nevertheless.. fairy tales are still fairy tales so I prefer to be in reality, where I'm with you rather than to be in a fairy tale.

 

"Would you rather" : Fairy Tales

 

Q. [The Honest Woodcutter] - [Say the gold ax is mine vs. Say the truth]

There are no secrets in this world, most of the times, lying is bad so I'll just be honest. Who knows? I might get a silver ax in return.

 

Q. [The Little Mermaid] - [Trade my voice for legs vs. Meet the prince as my true self]

It's ideal to meet him as my true self so I'd like to choose that option. If the prince cannot love her the way I am, I don't think we're destined together. So I'd try to face the situation in my original self.

 

Q. [The Ant and the Grasshopper] - [Rich but time-poor vs. Poor but time-rich]

Lots of time.. I'm not sure. I guess rich but time-poor ant seems a little better. 

 

Q. [Peter Pan] - [Grow old gracefully vs. Stay young forever]

My father also dyes his hair and I tell him not to do it. I think it's nice to look natural when you get old so I think Peter Pan who grows old gracefully is way better.

8 Chill Songs To Feed Your Introverted Soul

 

Introverts don’t really need to go outside to be entertained. They have everything they want in the comfort of their own home: A captivating book to read in one sitting, an exciting movie or TV show to (binge)watch, and, of course, their good old playlist for every occasion.

 

This being said, the following songs may be just the thing to keep you company as you embrace your introversion and enjoy the moment. Listen for yourself!

 

BTS’s RM – “Forever Rain”

 

How many solitary individuals find extreme inner peace once it starts raining? In RM’s words, it’s a soothing moment that allows you to get lost in your thoughts and watch your environment suddenly get phased by a few droplets. It gives you a strange but comforting feeling of company and you simply wish the rain never stops.

10 Korean Celebrities That Are So Smart They’re Sexy

 

An extremely popular slang expression in Korea these days is the word “뇌섹남” (nue-saek-nam), an acronym literally translating to a “man with a sexy brain,” with its female counterpart “뇌섹녀” (nue-saek-neo), a “woman with a sexy brain.”

 

In the Korean entertainment industry, there has been a recent trend that emphasizes the intelligence of celebrities. Programs such as “Problematic Men” and “Abnormal Summit” have celebrities showcase their intellect by discussing the global issues that our society is facing, rather than the usual simple conversations about their everyday lives.

 

Here are some of the top 10 celebrities in Korea who have a sexy brain on top of extreme talent and gorgeous appearances. Let us know in the comments down below if your favorite celebrities made it on the list, or if there’s anyone we missed!

 

All rankings mentioned in the article were taken from the 2015 US News Education University Rankings.

 

BTS’s Rap Monster

 

One of the celebrities that caught me off guard was definitely BTS’s Rap Monster. Not only is the rapper capable of dropping sick beats, he is also extremely knowledgeable and has proven his intelligence with an IQ score of 148. He also ranked in the 99th percentile of students nationwide who took the Korean college entrance exam in the same year.

Ha Seok Jin

 

Like Kang Dong Won, Ha Seok Jin majored in mechanical engineering at Hanyang University. During his college days, he also received a scholarship that is reserved only for students who rank in the top 10 percent.

 

He has appeared on the tvN variety show “Problematic Men” and in one episode, Jun Hyun Moo commented that the actor continues to apply his degree to his regular life by calculating the gravitational acceleration of new cars when they come out.
