BTS leader RM recently shared heartfelt moments with fans during a live session following his military discharge, reflecting on his reunions with fellow members Jungkook and Jimin. A particularly memorable moment he described was his first-ever drinking session with Jungkook.
RM, known for his previously "clean" lifestyle, admitted his relationship with alcohol has evolved, especially since Jin's enlistment. "Because I used to never drink at all, maybe a beer?" he shared, indicating a significant change in his habits. He then revealed that during Jungkook and Jimin’s military leave, he met up with them separately for drinks and chats. "With Jimin-ie, we met up at his house once, and with Jungkook-ie, I took him to a place I like, and for the first time ever, the two of us had drinks together.”
This revelation has sparked considerable interest among fans, as RM has been seen as someone who rarely consumed alcohol. The fact that he shared this experience with Jungkook, the group's youngest member, adds a layer of significance to their bond.
RM's comments during the live session also highlighted his deep longing for ARMY, the official BTS fan base. He expressed gratitude towards his bandmates, further emphasizing the strong connection between the members, even during their time apart for military service. The reunions were both refreshing and soul-soothing for RM.
The topic of BTS members and their drinking habits has been of interest to fans for years. While some members like Jin and RM are known to enjoy alcohol, others are more reserved. Jungkook, in the past, has even playfully called out fans for telling him to stop drinking during his own Weverse live broadcasts, asserting his adulthood and right to enjoy himself. Similarly, RM once joined Jungkook's live broadcast and flirtatiously said "I miss you jungkook-ssi" and "let's drink together".
These moments of camaraderie and personal revelations resonate deeply with ARMY, who appreciate the group's willingness to share intimate details of their lives. RM's recent openness about drinking with Jungkook for the first time provides a glimpse into their evolving relationships and the ways they support each other, especially during challenging times like military service. It reinforces the image of BTS as not just global superstars, but also as relatable individuals who enjoy simple pleasures and cherish their friendships.
