From one leader to another, the bond between BTS’ RM and TXT’s Soobin continues to melt fans’ hearts. Their relationship has always been filled with mutual respect and warmth, and the latest story from Soobin just proves how genuine their friendship really is.
TXT recently teamed up with UNICEF for a campaign centered on mental health, and Soobin was chosen to represent the group with a 5-minute speech. It was a big moment for him, but also one that made him quite nervous. Wanting some guidance, he reached out to RM, someone he deeply looks up to and has often sought advice from in the past.
Before the event, RM gave him a call — something Soobin didn’t expect but will likely never forget. During a livestream with fans, Soobin shared that about 30 minutes before his speech, RM called and told him not to worry so much. He reminded Soobin that the audience would be watching him with open hearts, and that he should just relax and enjoy the moment. RM even offered to send him a video he personally watches whenever he feels anxious, saying, “Fighting! I have a video I watch whenever I get nervous, so I’ll send it to you.”
Hearing those comforting words made all the difference. Soobin said he instantly felt calmer and more confident. “When he said that, I realized he was right. The atmosphere was cheerful, and thanks to him personally cheering for me, my heart felt so much lighter,” he said. He even mentioned that he hadn’t been able to sleep until 5 or 6 in the morning the night before because of how anxious he was, but RM’s encouragement helped him face the moment with peace.
In the end, Soobin delivered his speech beautifully, proving that RM’s support had a real impact. The story highlights not only RM’s thoughtful and reassuring nature but also how the BTS leader continues to inspire the next generation of idols — one kind word at a time.
