BTS member RM turns 30 on Thursday.

The South Korean rapper, songwriter, and record producer was born Kim Nam-joon, but formally changed to his stage name 'RM' in November 2017.

He first rose to fame in 2013 with the boyband BTS, who were the first and only Korean act to reach no.1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with singles such as "Dynamite”, “Butter” and “My Universe” with Coldplay. BTS is also the first and only Korean group to be nominated for the Grammy awards and have sold over 30 million albums.



RM is also the first and only global ambassador for fashion brand Bottega Veneta.



In 2015, RM released his first solo mixtape, which was followed by his second called 'Mono' in 2018, which became the highest-charting album by Korean soloist in the United States, when it peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200.


RM enlisted into the military in December 2023, a mandatory service for all able-bodied South Korean men aged 18-28. All members are expected to have completed military duty by 2025.
