Miracle that BTS still together, says RM

The seven members of BTS are so different that it feels like a miracle that they have stayed together, said RM, leader of the popular band.

“The seven of us are very different. We’re so incredibly different. It’s like we’re in one boat, but we look at seven different directions,” the rapper said in a V Live broadcast Wednesday.

“It is a miracle that we have come this far as a team. We could have parted ways long away,” he said during the broadcast titled “Rkive 2.”

It was his second V Live broadcast of the day, following “Rkive 1.”

In the earlier video, RM sought to give fans a tour of his new studio -- the Rkive -- at Big Hit Entertainment’s office in Seoul.

However, he was interrupted by uninvited guests -- bandmates Jimin and V, who posed as life-sized figurines among RM’s impressive collection of figurines, toys and art pieces.

The two joined the livestream and would not leave him alone.

“I didn’t get to communicate with you, so I came back. I will answer 20 questions and go,” RM said, kicking off the second livestream alone.
