BTS’ RM celebrates on year ‘bald’ anniversary

RM recently delighted his fans by sharing a series of nostalgic photos on Instagram to mark the first anniversary of his shaved head. His caption, “1 year anniversary of becoming bald,” reflects on a significant personal milestone from last year, when he shaved his head before starting his mandatory military service.

The photo dump features a variety of snapshots from the past year, showcasing RM’s distinctive buzz cut and his characteristic "boyfriend vibes." Among the images, fans are treated to a playful moment where RM holds a distorting mirror, creating a humorous effect on his face.

Other pictures include casual mirror selfies, charming personal shots of him standing beside a car with one hand on his head, and a joyful pose where he’s caught clutching an umbrella.




One striking image is a black-and-white photo of RM with a serious expression, directly engaging the camera. This is contrasted by a more relaxed shot of him sitting on the ground with his arms folded around his knees, likely taken during a shoot for his recently released solo album, Right Place Wrong Person. The rapper, currently enlisted in the military, recently appeared in a pre-recorded video for MMM - Mini & Moni Music alongside BTS' Jimin. In the video, RM reviewed Jimin's second solo album, MUSE, together with Jimin himself.
