In the ARMY fandom, there are quite a few fans who have followed BTS since their debut days. Up to now, it has been more than a decade of being attached to these global K-pop superstars. Not to mention that most fans have supported the group for a long time — several years or more.
Meanwhile, the BTS members have also revealed many of their genuine personalities to fans on stage or during live broadcasts. They haven’t hidden their habits or behaviors when appearing on reality shows, or even in the stories they share about one another.
Therefore, the majority of fans believe that they have almost fully understood what their idols are truly like. But RM delivered a ѕнσ¢кing revelation that woke ARMYs up from that belief when he exposed the true personalities of Jimin and SUGA. It turns out there are many sides of these members that even longtime fans never noticed!
Specifically, in a past interview with TWIST Magazine, BTS members were asked, “Can you share a fun fact about one of your other band members that you don’t think even the most dedicated fans will know?” — and RM then truly exposed a surprising truth!
He answered: “Many people think that SUGA is like the Grandfather of the group, but he acts more like a little kid. Jimin is the opposite, he looks like a baby but inside he’s mature and like a Grandfather.”
The news shared by leader RM ѕнσ¢кed many fans. In fact, fans have long perceived SUGA as a mature, quiet, and serious type of man. Meanwhile, Jimin has been seen as a “baby” because of his smaller physique, cute behavior, and his frequent playful moments with the maknae line.
However, these αѕѕessments from fans are not entirely accurate. From the perspective of those who have spent years living together in dorms and working side by side for 15 years, it’s clear that SUGA often shows his childish side within the group, while Jimin can be more mature than what people usually see.
The truth RM revealed reminds fans of several moments where SUGA turned into a playful kid — laughing brightly with other members on Run BTS or In The Soop. The legendary sauna games and moments where he applied moisturizer also showed his mischievous side.
The second oldest member of BTS is also known for his cute little habits — wrinkling his nose, doing small hand dances, or making facial expressions when he likes soмєтнing — just like a “little cat.” There are also times when SUGA shows his dry sense of humor, making both members and staff laugh.
Meanwhile, Jimin has been praised many times by BTS members for being very mature. RM admitted: “Although he is younger than me, he is very mature. I guess you could say that mentally, 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 also said soмєтнing similar: “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.”
Perhaps in front of fans, the frequency of such behaviors from Jimin and SUGA isn’t that high. Of course, it’s not always easy to express oneself openly. Nevertheless, these traits have been reflected in many moments — it’s just that fans overlooked them, which led to misunderstandings.
When this was clarified, fans couldn’t help but remark that only BTS members truly understand each other best. They were also delighted that RM pointed out such distinctive traits in SUGA and Jimin’s personalities that many hadn’t noticed before. Fans are now hoping that next time, more of the members’ personality traits will be revealed so they can compare them with their own impressions.
