Tiger JK Gave BTS’s RM, His #1 Fanboy, An Unusual Award
BTS‘s RM is a huge fan of his hip-hop senior and collaborator Tiger JK, and Tiger JK recently acknowledged RM’s support in a totally unexpected way.
At 2018 MAMA in Hong Kong, cameras caught RM cheering his lungs out during SEVENTEEN Vernon‘s and Tiger JK’s collaboration stage. Both Vernon and RM were featured artists on Tiger JK’s star-studded album, X: Rebirth of Tiger JK.
RM’s reaction was quickly shared all over social media, and it soon became one of RM’s most popular memes ever.
When someone uses the "say it louder for the people in the back" phrase imma just think of this face 😂 #RM #NAMJOON #방탄소년단 #BTS @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/7zekLbpyM7
