He can be heard saying "My mom bought me the DVDs of the whole series when I was in elementary school.

2) BTS' Jungkook's diet plan is supposedly quite intense:

Back in 2019, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds' went on to heap praises on Jungkook, who, in addition to being a hearth throb figure to millions, is known for his diet as well.

3) The members of the septet compete over retweets:

A report on Koreaboo quoted BTS' Jimin admitting that the members of the septet are usually at crossroads over the number of retweets each and everyone gets. Each and every member has millions of fans. Their official group Twitter handle, as of this writing, is followed by 30 million people. Instagram, on the other hand, is where BTS enjoys the following of close to 43 million unique accounts.

4) While recording "Dynamite", the septet was particularly careful about their pronunciations in English

As per a report on Rolling Stone, while recording the superhit single "Dynamite", the seven-man group did not leave any stone unturned when it came to getting the pronunciation of each and every English word right. They did so because they wanted to ensure clear delivery of the song's message. In addition to the same, the musicians also implied that the group pays a lot of attention while singing songs in languages other than their own.

5) RM stands for Rap Monster

As per a report on TheFactSite.com, the full form of RM is Rap Monster, contrary to popular belief that it is an abbreviated version of some other Korean name that he may have given himself. His full name is, in fact, Kim Nam-Joon. RM is one of the lead vocalists who has crooned many chart-topping hits to date for BTS.
