BTS RM, Suga\u201d was uploaded to hip-hop group Epik High\u2019s YouTube channel. During the casual talk show, host Tablo playfully questioned RM about his recent decision to get a driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">&#8220;Why did you even learn to drive? Weren\u2019t we supposed to form a \u2018bad sense of direction alliance\u2019?&#8221; Tablo said, referring to RM\u2019s well-known reputation among fans for getting lost easily.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/28465d77-fcd6-4609-8c66-8df27ced3056.jpg\" style=\"height: auto; aspect-ratio: 1200 \/ 1328; width: 100%\" alt=\"BTS' RM \/ Captured from Epik High's YouTube channel\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>BTS&#8217; RM \/ Captured from Epik High&#8217;s YouTube channel<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">RM responded candidly, saying, &#8220;People around me thought I was too immature. I got my license, felt proud for a moment, and then basically left it unused. I can\u2019t park.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">His honesty drew laughter from the studio. Fellow Epik High member Tukutz joked, &#8220;Just go to places with valet parking,&#8221; prompting RM to burst into laughter and agree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The moment quickly spread across social media, with fans praising RM\u2019s down-to-earth personality. Many pointed out the irony of a global superstar admitting to such an everyday struggle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">According to multiple international entertainment reports, RM\u2019s net worth is estimated at around 30 billion won ($22 million), adding another layer of contrast to his confession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Meanwhile, BTS recently made a high-profile comeback with their fifth full-length album \u201cARIRANG,\u201d released  March 20. The group also held a large-scale outdoor event, \u201cBTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG,\u201d in Seoul\u2019s Gwanghwamun,  March 21, drawing massive crowds and global attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">This article from Xportsnews is adapted by a generative AI system and edited by The Korea Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BTS leader RM is going viral for an unexpectedly relatable confession: despite his massive wealth and global fame,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":{"0":"post-370344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
