Aside from their music, the group also recently took part in the "Friends" reunion special, which reunited the cast for the first time publicly since the iconic sitcom ended 17 years ago.

"Basically, 'Friends' was my English teacher for like a decade," RM said of the show's impact on him.

In addition to RM, BTS consists of seven members in total, including Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook.
