Many times in your life, you've probably come across the question: "If you were reborn, who would you want to be?" Although we all know that whatever answer we give can never become reality, and we are always encouraged to appreciate ourselves as we are, these hypothetical questions are still fascinating in their own way. They often reveal the ideal role models people aspire to or the qualities they admire most.

Even the members of BTS, who are arguably at the very pinnacle of the global entertainment industry, are no exception. Of course, they themselves are already extraordinary individuals—stars with immense influence who serve as role models and aspirations for millions of people around the world today. Yet before reaching their current status, they also had figures they looked up to and people they deeply respected.

A fan once asked RM, "Namjoon-ah, if you were reborn, what would you want to be reborn as?" Without hesitation, he simply wrote down: "Beyonce." RM's bold choice surprised many fans at the time and quickly became a topic of enthusiastic discussion across social media. However, his answer is not difficult to understand. Beyoncé, often referred to as "Queen Bey," has long been one of the most powerful icons in the global music industry. It is reasonable to αѕѕume that RM is also one of her great admirers.

Although RM cannot become Beyoncé in this lifetime, he and the music queen have shared several interesting connections over the years. For example, in 2020, both RM and Beyoncé were recognized by the fashion platform Lyst in its "Power Dressers" list, honoring their influence on global fashion trends.

Beyond that, BTS and Beyoncé have had several notable links in recent years. Producer Sleep Deez once confirmed that Beyoncé is a big fan of "My Time," the song he produced for BTS's "golden maknae," Jungkook. When asked whether Beyoncé has a soft spot for Jungkook, Sleep Deez replied that the idea is not unfounded, explaining that the singer's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, has long been a fan of Jungkook. Another interesting detail is that Jungkook appeared in Beyoncé's special yearbook, where she shared photos of famous figures born in August and September whom she loves, respects, or admires.

Another fascinating connection involves BTS's "PROOF Live" in 2022. Composer and arranger Duane Benjamin revealed that the project was inspired by Beyoncé's legendary 2018 Coachella performance. According to Benjamin, BTS's team was deeply impressed by the world-clαѕѕ production quality of that stage and began searching for a collaborator who could help create performances of a similar scale and caliber for the group. That search ultimately led Benjamin to work with BTS.

In the end, these stories demonstrate that the influence of truly exceptional artists transcends national borders and musical genres. And who knows? Perhaps one day in the future, fans will see RM standing alongside the very person he once said he would like to become if he were reborn—Beyoncé—in a collaborative project. Unsurprisingly, fans had plenty to say in response to the BTS leader's memorable answer:

- Music isn't just a job, it's a pαѕѕion that flames within him. Even if he were given another life, he would still want to become a music queen

- RM: 'If I had another life, I'd want to be Beyoncé.' The universe: 'Namjoon, you're already RM!'

- RM went straight for the very peak of the entertainment industry. That's exactly the kind of thinking you'd expect from a genius!

- I honestly thought he'd say he wanted to be a crab, a book or a bonsai tree—soмєтнing very Namjooning. Instead, he chose Beyoncé!

- This is the kind of answer that makes both ARMY and the BeyHive nod in agreement. If you're going to dream big, you might as well aim for Queen Bey

- It's surprising, but it also makes perfect sense. Back then, RM must have wished that one day he could reach the pinnacle of the world, just like the icon Beyoncé. Now, he doesn't have to wish anymore—he and BTS have already achieved it

- This has to be one of RM's most fascinating answers. It reflects his admiration and dream 

- Choosing Beyoncé wasn't just a random. It reflected RM's admiration for an artist who embo∂ιєs excellence and worldwide impact, revealing the kind of success he once dreamed of achieving for himself

- It spoke not only of his respect for her legacy but also of his own ambition to one day stand among the world's biggest music icons. He didn't need to be reborn. He transformed his aspirations into reality and carved his name into history.
