Becoming a celebrity is a dream for many people, but the price to pay for this dream is not small. One of them includes the relationship with the people around will be affected. This is not only friends but also relatives!

RM and his cousin are an example among thousands of idols. In an interview with RM's cousin, she confessed this but then she also said that RM's actions saved their relationship, showing how he is a "different" celebrity.

The story between the two brothers has made fans realize the reason why RM and BTS win the hearts of everyone:

In an interview, Jin once opened up about how he ℓσѕт many friends when he became an idol: "There’s a lot of pressure to meet up with people. I haven’t changed, but my friends find it difficult to be around me. I’ve ℓσѕт a lot of people around me.”

In fact, Jin, RM or BTS themselves have never shown themselves to be more famous or clαѕѕy than others. But it cannot be denied that when they became top Kpop superstars, many people who were once close to them became afraid to approach them for many reasons. It could be fear of "fans" or embarrαѕѕment due to differences in lifestyle, status...

RM's cousin - Ji Yeon Seo is an insider and once shared about this issue in an interview. It is known that Yeon Seo is a talented young female MMA fιgнтer in mixed martial arts. She is known by the nicknames Magikarp and Honey Bee when she was a professional boxer. Starting in 2017 when she officially competed, she set an impressive record with 8/12 matches, winning a gold medal at an international tournament even though she had only been in the profession for 3 years.

As a famous martial artist, Ji Yeon Seo surprised everyone by revealing her kinship with RM. She said, “We are cousins. Sometimes during vacation, we see each other." With RM's busy schedule, he seems to have very little time for his family. Meanwhile, the schedule of a martial artist also makes Yeon Seo almost have no days off. It is understandable why they rarely meet.

Next, the female martial artist also shared her feelings when witnessing her brother's success. Although she has been close to RM since childhood, her feelings changed every time she met him after that. She confessed that she felt confused in front of an international superstar even though he was her cousin.

Ji Yeon Seo said, "He's the cousin I've seen since I was little, but when he's become such a super star, it's hard to approach him first and try to get close" she said. Obviously, it is inevitable because there are many cases where people approach celebrities with bad intentions or take advantage of them. She also worries that if she becomes close to him, he will feel uncomfortable or awkward.

Not only that, there is also a barrier that makes Ji Yeon Seo not really want to reveal their close relationship, which is the fans. But when asked about her relationship with RM, she still couldn't help but be proud of having her cousin as the leader of BTS. She sincerely shared: "But he still cheered me on and told me to work hard. I purposely didn’t talk about this in fear of ιиѕυℓтing BTS fans, but I am proud that I have a cousin who is famous around the world". 

But what is more notable is RM's treatment of Ji Yeon Seo after her success. She said that even though RM is busy with his idol schedule, he still cares about his cousin. RM once gave her a CD signed by all the BTS members before with the message: "Jiyeon-ah, how are you? Wish you always healthy and happy during your time at school! Be strong!".

Not only that, when BTS held a concert in Seoul, RM also invited her to the group's concert. It was RM who took the initiative to bridge the gap, overcoming the shyness that Yeon Seo felt when having a famous cousin. That shows that RM always values ​​his relationships with his relatives and those around him. He understands how important the connection between them is and he is the center of those knots.

Like RM, Ji Yeon Seo has also achieved many achievements despite her young age and career. So, like her, he must also feel proud of his famous cousin in the martial arts world!
