(Photo Source: Instagram)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Kim Namjoon, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/hollywood\/bts-rm-calls-army-his-greatest-strength-shares-members-advice-you-did-well-but-9506574.html\">RM<\/a>, stepped in front of the camera for the first time since he was discharged from the military after the completion of his mandatory service. The BTS star gave fans some insight into both sides of himself: his thoughtful, behind-the-scenes self and the confident one that owns the stage. He talked about both his personalities honestly with a touch of humour.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">When asked about an ideal of himself that is often misunderstood during an interview with Harper\u2019s Bazaar Korea, Namjoon answered by doing what he does best \u2013 being himself. He said, \u201cPeople say RM can\u2019t do that? But what is he actually good at? Now my image is an image of not being good at sports. I can\u2019t even play foot volleyball, I can\u2019t drive, I don\u2019t have a license.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">RM added, \u201cI have this image of not being good at things that require coordination, but surprisingly, I\u2019m really good at skating.&#8221; After a brief pause, he hilariously mentioned, \u201cWell, to that extent\u2026 Other than that, not much else. And dancing, it\u2019s not that bad. That\u2019s about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><strong>RM Likes To Be An \u2018Attention Seeker\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Furthermore, RM, the leader of the K-pop supergroup BTS, did not hesitate to share that he loves being in the limelight, and he was not subtle about it. The 30-year-old rapper talked about his childhood dreams compared to now, and said, \u201cI like to be in the spotlight. That\u2019s the same. I don\u2019t think being an attention seeker is a wrong thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">He recalled an anecdote from his childhood, when he was called the \u201cTalk Box.&#8221; Namjoon mentioned, \u201cWhen I was a kid, my nickname was Talk Box. I used to gather interesting stories from the internet and share them with my friends. I also liked public speaking. I really enjoyed giving presentations. I liked making people laugh. I used to want to be a comedian. So, my desire for attention is quite similar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>RM Reveals What Makes Him Feel Most Alive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The BTS leader then shared what makes him feel alive the most. As the star RM, he loves performing, releasing new music and standing in front of a crowd of their ardent fans. And as Kim Namjoon, his most cherished moments are enjoying simple things in life with the people he loves the most.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">\u201cBeing with people I like, without hesitation, or when I\u2019m doing what I want in a place where no one recognises me. Travelling seems to be the closest thing to that, but honestly, I can\u2019t stay that way for long and want to come home soon. And working on music again makes me feel alive again,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">And just like the musician and his band, fans are also excited about their new music, which the group announced just days after their discharge from the military. BTS, as a unit, is gearing up to release a brand-new album in the first half of 2026. RM, along with Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, began working on it last month in the US.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shrishti-negi-14989.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shrishti Negi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shrishti Negi is a journalist with over eight years of experience in the media industry.
