As fans know, RM officially announced that he had pαѕѕed South кσяєα's standard Clαѕѕ 2 driver's license test in December 2025 at the age of 31, bringing to an end a years-long journey toward a goal that he himself had admitted was far from easy. The BTS leader also became the final member of the group to obtain a driver's license, making both fans and his fellow members incredibly proud.
Interestingly, despite finally getting his license, RM revealed during a conversation with Epik High in March this year that he had no plans to buy a car. He explained that his primary motivation was simply to overcome his fear of driving and the "psychological trauma" he αѕѕociated with it. However, it seems that as a new driver, RM quickly discovered a greater pαѕѕion for driving and changed his mind not long afterward.
Earlier this June, RM shared a photo on Instagram featuring a sticker that read "Beginner Driver." In кσяєα, using such a sign is recommended by authorities as part of safe driving practices for newly licensed drivers. The small detail led fans to believe that RM had purchased his very first car and was actively adjusting to life behind the wheel.
Since then, fans have been extremely curious about what kind of vehicle RM chose, and their curiosity was finally satisfied following his latest reveal!
On the 19th, RM uploaded a series of photos taken after BTS's two recent concerts in Busan, including both onstage and offstage moments, as well as references to his well-known love for Pokémon. However, one particular photo immediately caught fans' attention more than any other: a snapshot of RM driving with an intensely focused expression on his face. Many fans found the image adorable, noting that just from the way he held the steering wheel and his serious expression, it was easy to tell that he is the type of driver who approaches the road with extreme caution.
What sparked even more discussion among ARMY, however, was the vehicle RM appeared to be driving. After carefully analyzing the interior details, window frame design, seating position, and roof structure visible in the photo, eagle-eyed fans concluded that RM was behind the wheel of a Mercedes G-Wagon — specifically the Mercedes-AMG G 63, the highest-performance and most expensive version of the G-Clαѕѕ lineup.
In South кσяєα, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 is priced at approximately 275 million KRW, or around $245,000 before taxes and customization options. It is not merely a luxury SUV but is widely regarded as a status symbol among business executives, celebrities, and elite athletes.
The model is famous for its rare combination of genuine off-road capability, exceptional performance, and top-tier luxury. The G 63 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing around 577 horsepower, significantly outperforming most conventional SUVs. Inside, it features premium Nappa leather upholstery, mαѕѕage, heated and ventilated seats, a Burmester sound system, and numerous handcrafted AMG-exclusive details.
Although the vehicle comes with a hefty price tag, it is easily within reach for one of the world's biggest K-pop superstars. In fact, RM has previously purchased his luxury Nine One Hannam apartment entirely in cash, making the cost of the vehicle relatively manageable by comparison.
More importantly, many fans believe the G 63 is a perfect match for RM himself. The idol stands at approximately 181 cm tall and has developed a noticeably broader and more muscular upper body following his military service. With its elevated seating position, spacious cabin, and generous headroom, the G 63 is often considered an ideal vehicle for someone with a larger frame.
Beyond its practicality, the luxury SUV also seems to align perfectly with RM's personality and public image. RM is widely known as a wealthy yet low-key artist who is calm, intellectual, and drawn to a minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes quality over flashiness. Compared to attention-grabbing supercars such as the Ferrari 296 GTB or Lamborghini Aventador, the G 63 projects a different image: successful without being overly showy, powerful yet still practical.
Fans couldn't help but marvel at the luxury vehicle seemingly owned by the BTS leader, commenting:
- Yeah the handle above the window and the dot above the windshield too issa gwagonnn. Young and rich, our daddy Namjoon
- That's ѕєχy and cool. The car suits him. Him with both hands on wheels back straight this is adorable too
