A heartwarming story about BTS leader RM has resurfaced after rapper DinDin revealed details about RM’s generous wedding gift to fellow rapper Sleepy. The story was shared on a recent episode of the YouTube channel What, what, whatwhere the cast discussed wedding gifts and personal relationships. During the conversation, DinDin brought up an anecdote regarding RM and Sleepy’s wedding that quickly caught viewers’ attention.
According to DinDin, RM sent Sleepy a wedding gift worth ₩10 million (about $7,000) when the rapper got married. “Namjoon sent ₩10 million as a wedding gift when Sleepy got married,” DinDin said during the discussion. The revelation surprised the cast members, especially after DinDin explained the significant story behind the gesture.
DinDin shared that Sleepy played an important role in RM’s early career before the BTS member became famous worldwide. As the story goes, Sleepy helped RM get the opportunity to audition while he was still an intern pursuing his dream of becoming an artist. Years later, after learning of Sleepy’s marriage, RM would reach out directly via social media and ask for her bank account number. Instead of simply sending a congratulatory message, RM allegedly transferred ₩10 million as a wedding gift, demonstrating his appreciation for someone who had supported him during a crucial period in his life.
The connection between RM and Sleepy reportedly dates back to the years before RM’s debut. Before debuting as a member of BTS, RM was active in Korea’s underground hip-hop scene and developed relationships with artists connected to groups that included Sleepy. Over the years, Sleepy has spoken publicly about witnessing RM’s growth from a young aspiring rapper to one of the most influential musicians in the world.
Following the revelation, fans and netizens flooded online communities with positive reactions.
Many praised RM for remembering those who supported him before his success, while others were touched that he personally contacted Sleepy to inquire about him instead of relying on intermediaries. Some comments included:
- He hasn’t forgotten the people who helped him.
- The amount is impressive, but personally asking for the account number is even more touching.
- RM is really loyal.
- Sleepy must have felt proud seeing how far RM has come.
The story spread quickly on social media, with many fans citing it as another example of RM’s reputation for gratitude and loyalty.
Sleepy married a non-famous woman eight years his junior in 2022 and is now the father of two daughters.
Meanwhile, RM recently completed his mandatory military service alongside his fellow BTS members. The group is currently preparing for its upcoming one BTS World Tour ARIRANG concerts, scheduled for June 12 and 13 at the Busan Asiad main stadium.
