On September 2, 2025, BTS leader RM posted a new set of photos on his Instagram handle @rkive. The post featured his usual blend of casual snapshots, from art visits to everyday gym clicks. But one picture in particular caught fans’ eyes. It was a mirror selfie where a few gray strands in his hair were visible.ARMYs highlighted that it was not an intentional “showing off” moment, but simply a candid detail in a normal selfie. This made it even more charming. Many felt the subtle change reflected growth and wisdom.Others called it another reason why RM continues to feel authentic and relatable as an artist.Instead of sparking concern, the small detail drew waves of praise online. Fans described the look as "lovely” and said it suited him perfectly. "While it’s normal and absolutely lovely on him, don’t point them out cause antis (even solos of the the other members) will start to use this against him , and Namjoon doesn’t deserve the hate," an X user wrote.CJ @conniej28LINK@sgmin_seven While it’s normal and absolutely lovely on him, don’t point them out cause antis (even solos of the the other members) will start to use this against him , and Namjoon doesn’t deserve the hateOthers too chimed in as they shared that seeing the BTS' star embrace his natural grays made them feel more confident about their own.kej⁷ ☁️ @tteobeokkibyjkLINKlisten this is so validating lolChelsea @eksclusivenikkyLINK@nessapjm I mean, it’s not easy carrying the whole industry on his back 😪😭Olaola⁷ @fancycupofteaLINK@nessapjm As a 93-liner myself I'm so glad that him and Yoongi don't hide their grays!
