RAP MONSTER
Full Name: Kim Nam-joon
Kim Nam-joon a.k.a. RM a.k.a. Rap Monster was the first member of BTS and is known as the band’s leader. RM, who is one of the band’s rappers, started rapping in the sixth grade after he listened to Epik High’s “Fly” for the first time. In 2007, when he was in middle school, RM started rapping under the name Runch Randa, which led him to the rap crew Daenamhyup. (The crew also consisted of now-known stars like Top Dogg’s KIDOH, Big Hit Entertainment producer Supreme Boi and Show Me the Money 3 finalist Iron.) After that, RM started releasing more songs as a solo rapper until he was invited to audition for a hip-hop agency, where he met Untouchable’s Sleepy, who was a judge at the audition. Impressed by RM’s rapping, Sleepy connected RM to producer Bang Shi Hyuk, who invited him to audition for Big Hit Entertainment. Then, in 2010, RM became the first member of BTS, and the rest is history.
The BTS "leader" was working on his skills as an underground rapper before BTS was founded, and was the first member to be selected for the group. He's known for putting his creative spin on songs, and has worked with several hip-hop and indie artists, like Primary, Don Mills, Gaeko, MFBTY and Wale. Rap Monster usually does most of the talking in BTS' English-language interviews, after teaching himself English while watching Friends.
