BTS ARMYs think RM has 'proud dad vibes' and the reason will melt your heart!

If there¡¯s one thing BTS¡¯ RM excels at beyond his unmatched lyricism and leadership, it¡¯s his ability to radiate ¡°proud dad¡± energy, and fans live for it! A moment that ARMYs and K-pop stans alike still gush over is RM¡¯s wholesome interaction with TXT¡¯s Soobin and Oh My Girl¡¯s Arin during the 2020 KBS Song Festival. The leader of the global superstars was caught flashing an uncontainable grin as Soobin and Arin confidently hosted an interview with BTS.

BTS¡¯ RM¡¯s reaction after Arin began speaking

Fans were quick to turn RM¡¯s expressions into memes, with many dubbing him the ¡°he is giving such proud father¡± energywho¡¯s ready to adopt the young idols. His face lit up like a firework when Arin began speaking, and when Soobin addressed BTS, RM¡¯s excitement turned up a notch. The camera didn¡¯t miss a second of RM¡¯s wholesome admiration for his juniors, and honestly, neither did ARMYs.

But RM¡¯s mentorship isn¡¯t just limited to proud smiles and encouragement. When TXT dropped their sophomore album, The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE, RM¡¯s fingerprints were all over it. Specifically, the title track 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) featuring Seori bore the creative touch of the BTS leader. According to TXT¡¯s Soobin, their producer Bang Si-hyuk was struggling with the lyrics for three weeks before turning to RM for his genius. RM not only wrote the lyrics but also advocated for the track to be the album¡¯s lead single.

TXT shared during a press conference how RM¡¯s involvement shaped the song¡¯s final version. Soobin recalled how RM pitched the idea that 0X1=LOVESONG was their strongest track, convincing everyone to go with it. That¡¯s the power of RM¡ªhe doesn¡¯t just support from the sidelines; he ensures his juniors shine on the big stage.

Currently, RM is fulfilling his military duty, along with BTS members Suga, V, Jimin, and Jungkook. While ARMYs eagerly await their return in 2025, RM¡¯s proud dad energy and creative brilliance remind us why he¡¯s not just a leader but an irreplaceable mentor for the next wave of K-pop stars.
