Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Rm, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are handsome, funny, and successful — what’s not to like? As some of the world’s most eligible bachelors, people are curious about BTS’s romantic relationships.
With that said, the “are you dating?” question had always been a part of every interview. In the past, RM has smoothly explained that BTS is too busy with their careers to even have time to date.
Knowing BTS’s insanely packed schedule, RM’s explanation was pretty understandable. However, the 24-year-old rapper, songwriter, and record producer got a little cheeky when recently asked about dating.
On May 22, BTS went live On Air with Ryan Seacrest to discuss their music, tour, and the most important topic of all — their love life. While RM’s usual response is still very valid as the boys are currently busy touring, the BTS leader decided to change things up a bit.
When asked “What about dating? Are you guys dating?” RM paused then jokingly said, “the connection is not very good.” In layman's terms, “I am not going to answer that question.”
Since they are very busy, Ryan Seacrest mentioned about FaceTime, which could be a useful platform for the BTS members to contact their loved ones (and possibly girlfriends) while they are far away from home. Although the veteran host was probably hoping that RM would slip-up and spill secrets about the love life of BTS, the group’s leader was too wise and brushed this off too by saying “we [the members] FaceTime each other.” His answer deserves a slow clap.
Meanwhile, BTS is undoubtedly one of the most successful K-pop artists to date. Their success is a result of their handwork and dedication to their craft. But how did it all start? As it turns out, ARMYs need to thank this rapper for discovering the group’s leader. But did RM decline to collaborate with him after BTS became a huge success?
During his appearance on Radio Star last year, Sleepy revealed a lot of things, including the fact that he is the one who discovered BTS‘s RM. The 35-year-old South Korean rapper shared that he first met RM at a rapper crew audition. The BTS star was a middle school student at the time. Seeing the young boy’s potential, Sleepy said that he asked for RM’s number, which he kept until he was asked to recommend a rapper.
Sleepy then shared that after the success of BTS, he reached out to RM to feature him in one of his tracks. After waiting for a year for RM’s reply, he finally heard back from the BTS star. Unfortunately, Sleepy revealed that even though RM wanted to work with him, his agency turned the request down.
Being the leader of the group, RM is the backbone of the Big Hit Entertainment band. If Sleepy didn’t introduce RM to the producer of BTS, things would have been a lot different for Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, since he is the genius behind most of their songs.
