BTS’ leader RM celebrated his 31st birthday on September 12 surrounded by close friends and loved ones. He shared glimpses of the celebration on Instagram right as the clock struck midnight. In a selfie taken at HYBE headquarters, he wore a white tank top, showing off his muscular arms and wide-eyed excitement. His hair was newly dyed blond, matching the lighter tone recently debuted by Jimin when they were spotted at a party in Seoul.
RM also gave fans a peek at his birthday meal. A purple cake, nodding to BTS’ signature color, sat alongside summer squash noodles, bite-sized snacks, and roasted sesame. The cake carried a simple, heartfelt message: “Happy birthday, RM. Let’s stay healthy.” Alongside the photos, he thanked fans for their birthday wishes and the projects they had prepared for him, saying, “Thank you, I miss you all.”
He also shared photos of the banners and bus ads prepared by BTS ARMY to celebrate his special day. Fans across the world had gone all out to mark the occasion, showing how much he is loved.
BTS recently returned from Los Angeles after spending a few months working on new music. Their comeback, slated for spring 2026, will be the group’s first full release in over three years since Take Two. They are expected to head back to the US soon to film the music video for the new songs.
