How BTS's RM Went From A Skinny 20 Year-Old To A Jacked Man

In an interview with Weverse Magazine, BTS‘s RM discussed his physical fitness routine and what prompted him to make the change to his body.

He shared that in order to get such impressive results, consistency is key.

It’s been around one year? Since I started doing it four times a week without fail. It’s like my lifeline. (laughs) Since, if you exercise, your body gradually improves. I like to feel like I’m doing something and getting better.

However, he noted his progress when it comes to changing his physique would be even faster if he changed his diet.

If you look at other people posting their progress, you can see their bodies change dramatically, but I’m not very strict about my diet, so it’s not like that for me. (laughs) Still, I can feel my frame changing bit by bit.

He also discussed how, for the past year, working out has become integrated into his daily routine along with his other hobbies.

My daily routine has become very clear-cut. Now that it’s been exactly a year since I started doing this mid-last year, I kind of think, So is this how people live? I have to go to work and come home, then there’s things I need to do there, and things I have to keep up with like exercise. And same for checking out exhibits. And so I thought my nature itself has changed a lot over the course of a year, but I don’t know whether it’s good for me as a creator.
