After 10 Years, ARMYs Finally Understand What Jungkook Saw In RM All Along

When Jungkook was still a teenager participating in Superstar K3 in 2011, he received offers from several major entertainment companies in кσяєα at the time, such as JYP, Cube, FNC, and Starship. Compared to those established names, Big Hit Entertainment (HYBE’s former name) was a small and relatively unknown agency — hardly an appealing choice for a talented trainee.

However, instead of choosing a prestigious company, Jungkook made the υиєχρє¢тє∂ decision to join Big Hit Entertainment, surprising many people. The reason behind that choice was later revealed by Jungkook himself: he joined Big Hit because of RM.

Jungkook once shared that when he saw RM practicing, he thought RM was amazing and wanted to learn from and work with him. “I just simply thought RM was really cool. I really didn’t know a lot about being a singer. But when I saw him rap, I just thought he was really, really αωєsome…” he said.

Even at such a young age, Jungkook saw in RM the image of a true artist — someone with talent, vision, and a powerful sense of purpose that deeply inspired him. In his 2019 birthday tweet, Jungkook once again affirmed this admiration by calling RM “my first and last role model.”

But beyond recognizing RM’s artistry, Jungkook was also captivated by soмєтнing else about him from the very first moment they met — soмєтнing ARMYs wouldn’t discover until ten years later. That’s why when fans finally started talking about this of RM, Jungkook giggled, amused that they were only realizing now what he had known all along — proving once again that he might just be RM’s biggest fan.

Specificially, during a pre-recording for SBS Inkigayo, while BTS was filming their For Youth stage, an ARMY shouted loudly, “KIM NAMJOON IS HANDSOME!!” Other members smiled brightly and joined in, chanting “Oo Namjoon!” in playful support, which made RM blush.

Seeing the fans’ reaction to the leader’s good looks, Jungkook commented that the fans had finally realized the truth — after ten years. He had already fallen for RM’s charm and good looks at first sight. His remark was both adorable and heartwarming, sparking envy for their brotherly bond.

Soon after, fans began sharing posts and pictures of RM to prove just how handsome and captivating the leader truly is:

Meanwhile, others joked that even Jungkook himself fit perfectly with the saying, “Beauty wins every time.” RM’s appearance and talent had successfully drawn Jeon Jungkook to BTS, completing the iconic seven-member lineup we know today. At the same time, Jungkook’s praise for RM didn’t just highlight outer beauty — it deepened the recognition of the inner strength and warmth that make RM’s charm so unique. True beauty, after all, starts from within.

Fans also agreed wholeheartedly with Jungkook, leaving countless comments praising RM:

- I can’t get over namjoon’s beauty his honey skin is so beautiful his smile his cute dimple omg im so whipped

- He is the epitome of grace and attractiveness. Even a handsome man like Jungkook can’t help but admire his hyung — so how could we, mere girls, possibly resist?

- I'll never stop talking about how handsome he is. What kind of fools ever criticized his looks and claimed he had plastic surgery?

- It is hilarious to me that all of these antis have to resort to editing pics of him because they know they are full of sh1t. Namjoon is fine af and no amount of edited pics being posted on this app can change that.

- Guys, I’ve been hopelessly in love with RM ever since that moment he wore the black suit like a true gentleman and shook hands with Megan Thee Stallion. 

- Namjoon just keeps getting more and more handsome — his beauty truly knows no limits. Like Jungkook said, he was already good-looking ten years ago, but now he’s on a whole new level of divine beauty. And on top of that, he’s intelligent and confident. Oh, how can a man like that exist in this world and yet not belong to me alone?

- namjoon is so handsome im genuinely in pain. the smile, the cheekbones

- Apparently besides yoongi we need to sue Joon on the grounds of being a handsome gorgeous man

- Namjoon is the most handsome model EVER look at that face… Especially ever since he started working out regularly — oh my god, his body proportions, that face, and that dimpled smile!
