Kim Namjoon as RM, the leader of the group BTS, is a philosopher who happens to rap and dance. He is only 26 years old but his wisdom is beyond his age.
In a recent interview with KBS’ Let’s BTS! Namjoon was praised by his bandmates, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
They all proclaimed he was a great leader: “You are the best leader – ever,” they chorused.
But Namjoon smiled and enthused: “You made up for my inadequacies, that’s why.”
