BTS RM’s Little Cousin Revealed to Be a Professional MMA Fighter

During the interview, the 20-year-old mixed martial arts fighter spoke up about her family relations with RM.
BTS’s leader, RM is my cousin. He’s my cousin on my dad’s side, and I always saw him during the holidays. He’s family that I’ve seen ever since I was little, but since he became such a big star, it was hard to approach him first and try to be close.

But he still cheered me on telling me to train hard. I purposely didn’t talk about this in fear of insulting BTS fans, but I’m proud that I have a cousin who is famous all around the world. I’ll work hard to live up to the reputation of RM’s cousin and become a great fighter.
