BTS once again had fans laughing with their incredibly natural and hilarious conversations during their post-concert livestream in Stanford. This time, the topic revolved around the way Jungkook addresses the older members — a tiny detail, but one that fascinated the fandom because it perfectly reflected the group’s closeness after more than a decade together.

j-hope kicked off the conversation by asking RM, “Didn’t Jungkook always call you Rapmon hyung? Always Rapmon hyung.” RM laughed and replied that Jungkook stopped calling him that after returning from the military because he had become more mature. Jimin joined in, saying, “I have actually never heard him call your name, doesn’t he just go ‘hyung’?” which made RM genuinely wonder, “What does he even call me?” j-hope immediately answered, “Namjoonie hyung!” sending the whole group into laughter.

Meanwhile, V shared that Jungkook usually calls him “Taehyungie hyung,” but suddenly switches to “V hyung” once they’re on stage, which feels extremely “unnatural” to him. RM explained that Jungkook was simply trying to be professional since many people outside the fandom might not know V’s real name. The conversation became even funnier when Jimin revealed that Jungkook usually just calls him “Jimin,” while j-hope suddenly realized that Jungkook actually calls V “hyung” but doesn’t do the same for him — he just says his name — causing everyone to burst into laughter.

While the members were joking around about the way Jungkook calls them, elsewhere, the group’s youngest member was asked a much more emotional question in a newly released interview with Harper’s Bazaar. When asked, “Which member do you consult the most about your concerns?”, Jungkook immediately named RM and Jimin. For longtime fans, the answer was hardly surprising.

RM’s role as BTS’s leader has never just been a title. He has long been known for his leadership, wisdom, and experience when it comes to handling difficult situations. Not only Jungkook, but most BTS members — and even HYBE juniors — have turned to him for advice whenever they struggled. TXT members Yeonjun and Soobin once revealed that they personally visited RM’s home to seek advice during their early debut years. More recently, Taehyun also shared that he went to RM when he felt anxious about renewing his contract with BigHit Music.

Jungkook himself previously revealed how much he relied on RM emotionally before his solo performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. At the time, he confessed: “I’ll be really nervous there. I’ll be really nervous going abroad without the members. I need to rely on Namjoon. I’m completely alone without Namjoon.”

Meanwhile, Jimin is often seen by the members as the “healing source” of the group. RM once shared: “Although he is younger than me, he is very mature… I am always ѕнσ¢кed at his word choices and the way he talks. He is very personable and I receive healing when I am with him.” j-hope echoed the sentiment, saying: “Although he is younger than me, he really has the charisma of a hyung. He really has a big plate, and as big as that plate is, he can accommodate so much. Truthfully, his willingness was what I am most thankful for. He played a big role in relieving my stress.”

One gives him rational advice and clear direction, while the other provides comfort and emotional healing — Jungkook clearly knows exactly which safe spaces he can lean on whenever he feels anxious or uncertain. In particular, fans were deeply touched by Jungkook’s expression and eyes while talking about this topic. They suddenly realized that even though he has grown up, he still fully enjoys the privilege of being the beloved youngest member protected in the arms of his older brothers.

Fans quickly flooded the viral clips with emotional comments such as:

- And RM goes to Jimin for support, same as Yoongi! I wanna have what they have!! Their bond is soмєтнing else!

- Almost all the members run to minimonie when it comes to worries. My SEVEN family

- It's obvious that when it comes to career worries, JK will always consult RM first. He trusted him and will always look up for him. Jimin, with his kind heart, will always have a listening ear for every member. He is a reliable emotional support per Suga and Namjoon.

- RM, the person he admires the most and jimin being the emotional support for the entire group. Awwww

- One gives him strength, the other gives him warmth. Our maknae knows his safe places

- BTS really built a family where each member becomes a safe place for another member. That’s so beautiful

- Namjoon carrying the role of leader for over 10 years and being the person everyone relies on… he deserves the world

- You can tell Jungkook feels safest around them. Even after all these years he still looks at his hyungs with so much trust

- Moments like this remind you they genuinely became family a long time ago
