On January 20, 2025, BTS' RM caught fans' attention as he changed his Instagram profile pictures repeatedly in the span of a few minutes. Firstly, RM switched his profile picture from a cropped version of a vase to his black and white photo. He seemingly flaunted his hair while wearing a pullover, specs, and a ring in the first image.
Following this, the Do You singer changed his first picture roughly within 25 minutes of its update. He then changed his picture to the cropped version of his childhood photo, which he also shared on his Instagram story.
BTS' RM fans soon noticed this and flooded the internet with their reactions to it. One user on X wrote:
“The way he went from Daddy Namjoon to baby joonie within minutes.”
