RM shared that there was a moment when he clenched his teeth due to Bang Si Hyuk, the head of Big Hit Entertainment (BTS’s agency). While Bang Si Hyuk and BTS are close like family, he showed a lot of tough love to the members when they were trainees. RM revealed that Bang Si Hyuk brought him to Big Hit Entertainment due to his rapping skills. However, there was a moment when Bang Si Hyuk told RM, “I think I brought you for no reason“.
