BTS’s RM Reveals He Knows About The “Personal Trainer” Meme And Clarifies The Story Behind It
BTS’s RM held a live stream in light of his birthday on September 12 and thanked fans for all the birthday wishes.
During this short live stream, he gave updates on the upcoming album, what books and shows he’s been watching lately, and even admitted he knew about the memes going around about him.

J-Hope: Trainer-nim! I’m holding my urges back and eating healthy!
RM: Member-nim, please send pictures of the food you’re eating, not your face.
Recently during an interview, RM wore a tight-fitting black shirt that accentuated his buff physique. This screenshot became a hot issue on social media platforms — eventually leading fans to start the “Trainer Series” (회원님 시리즈).
아니 쌤 저 이게.. 내려놓으세요^^

Bang Si Hyuk: I worked out at home!
RM: Member-nim, you mean your breathing exercises?
This became so popular that it even trended on Twitter and Big Hit Entertainment even used the series name in the hashtag for RM’s birthday post (#회원님생일축하많이해주실거죠).

In the live stream he mentioned that he found about the meme through a friend that told him about it. He clarified that it was because of his tight inner shirt that made it look like he had buff arms.
[속보] RM, '회원님 시리즈' 알고 있다
🐨 아 네, 회원님 시리즈는 저도 알아요 이번에 이렇게 나온거… 팔뚝 이따만케 나왔는데 그게 사실 제가 제 몸이 갑자기 두 배로 커져서 막 팔뚝이 이만해진게 아니구 마침 안에 입었던 이너티 사이즈가 조금 작았던 것 뿐입니다 pic.twitter.com/fKEyf6jXm6

This meme even reached his health trainer, who made him work out even more in order to live up to the meme!
🗣남준씨 인터넷 보니까 난리 났던데요? 열심히 하셔야 겠던데?
🐨 아시잖아요 저 아무것도 없는거 ㅠ
🗣남준씨 열심히하셔야겠어요 오늘 두셋트 더 합시다.아 헬스트레이너한테 애교 피우는 남주니 귀여워ㅠㅠ#남준아_생일인데_한번만안아보자#남준 #김남준 #RM #알엠 #랩몬스터 @bts_twt pic.twitter.com/u0U6gPVc5s

Trainer: Looks like you’re becoming a hot issue online? You’re going to have to work harder?
RM: Come on~ you know that I have nothing.
Trainer: You’re going to have to work harder. Let’s do two more sets today!
What’s hilarious is that while RM was busy clarifying the meme, fans were able to grab some more screenshots to use for the series!
