RM just reminded us all why BTS’s friendship is basically a time capsule. In an August 2025 interview with Harper’s Bazaar Korea, our poetic, museum-loving leader casually revealed that his members still treat him like he’s made of porcelain… or at least like someone who should never be left in charge of dinner or transportation.
The exact words they tell him? “Namjoon, just stay still. Don’t worry, we’ll do it. You did well, but don’t do anything.” Which is the nicest possible way of saying, “Please, for everyone’s safety, step away from the kitchen and the driver’s seat.”
And the best part? This is not new. Not even close. Fans instantly flashed back to those early BANGTAN TV days when RM’s cooking attempts became legendary for all the wrong reasons. The driving? Same story. Apparently, his license to lead stops where the gas pedal begins.
Naturally, the fandom exploded with nostalgia and meme energy. Posts poured in:
- “PLSS IM CRYING THEY DIDN’T CHANGE”
- “What if Namjoon has weaponised his incompetence because he wants to be taken care of and treated like a princess by the members”
Honestly… valid theory. Imagine being the global leader of the most influential music group on Earth and having six people devoted to protecting you from… yourself. That’s not incompetence. That’s elite-level life strategy.
And this is why BTS’s dynamic hits so differently. Fame, records, and history-making aside—they still operate like the same group of chaotic brothers who started over a decade ago. No ego. No distance. Just relentless teasing wrapped in genuine care.
So, moral of the story? RM may be the captain of the ship, but when it comes to chopping vegetables or parallel parking, the crew is very much in charge. And they’re not changing that rule any time soon.
