The close relationship that has gone far beyond a mere “business partnership” among BTS members for over a decade has long been well-known both inside and outside the fandom. People all over the world admire the beautiful friendship among the members and feel that they are now no different from real brothers living under one roof.

Most people are familiar with how the BTS members are always together 24/7, but one thing that few fans know is that even the members’ families are also very close to each other and often gather together.

They are like “small families” within a large clan, whose connection began with the seven members of BTS!

Over the past 12 years, fans have often spotted the members’ parents and siblings attending the group’s concerts together. Even when any member holds a solo concert, the families of all seven members can be seen sitting together in the au∂ιєnce, enthusiastically cheering them on.

In daily life, the families also show a closeness that rivals that of the members themselves. For example, j-hope’s sister and RM’s younger sister have been seen hanging out together multiple times and have even shared photos of themselves on social media.

Meanwhile, fans were greatly surprised when Jin and RM revealed the close relationship between their fathers during a live broadcast. Although it is natural to αѕѕume that the members’ parents are familiar with one another, the surprising part was Jin’s statement that his father and RM’s father have been longtime best friends.

Specifically, Jin cheerfully said, “Here’s a little TMI for you guys. My dad and Namjoon’s dad are best friends.” RM then smiled and confirmed, “They’re really close.”

Jin went on to share another detail that impressed fans even more: “The two of them meet up as often as Namjoon and I do. We see each other 360 days a year out of 365, and I think our dads are the same.”

RM, sharing the same curiosity as fans about their fathers’ friendship, asked, “Why are they so close?” Jin then explained, “They used to live next to each other.” Namjoon immediately remembered, “Ah, right. Neighbors.”

Jin continued with another TMI: “They’re neighbors. Back in the day, when we went back to the dorm from home, your mom and my mom would walk together. She’d go, ‘Oh, Jin’s here~.’”

This adorable story about their parents quickly became a hot topic on social media, as fans couldn’t believe that the closeness between the two fathers was just as heartwarming as that between their sons. Fans even imagined what the two “Kim dads” might look like together, based on the chemistry between Seokjin and Namjoon themselves.

ARMYs left many sweet and emotional comments about this TMI:

- I wouldn't be surprised if one day one their siblings married another member's sibling. The way the families seem to interact and enjoy each other company.

- Aww so cute and Jin & RM will keep doing it too when they become dads themselves in the future

- Imagine if Namjoon's and Jin's kids got married! I'd love to see this!

- Now it totally makes sense why Jin and Namjoon have such similar calm dad vibes… they literally got it from their dads!

- Imagine the two Kim dads hanging out and bragging about their sons— the most powerful duo in parents club 

- So it’s not just BTS that’s one big family, their parents are too. My heart can’t handle this level of cuteness.

- I need a ‘Run BTS: Parents Edition’ episode immediately—let me see those legendary Kim dads in action!

- The fact that their moms used to walk together too… they're so close

- This explains everything. The friendship runs in the family
