When RM explained how, years before joining BTS, his underground rapper alias became “Runch Randa,”
Kim Namjoon, the leader of BTS and better known by his stage moniker RM, turned 28 today (in Korean culture, he is actually 29 years old). RM joined BTS in 2010 and made his debut in 2013 alongside group members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. However, did you know that RM formerly performed as Runch Randa, an underground rapper, before signing with BigHit Music? In 2020, the rapper made a similar revelation.
RM had mentioned, “MapleStory was a game that inspired me the most,” on the first episode of BTS’ collaboration, The MapleStory Originals, Once Upon a Time. I changed my name to RM, something that many of you are unaware of. I used to go by the name Runch Randa, but now I go by the name RM. Now, how did I come up with the name Runch Randa? “
I shared a MapleStory account with that guy, and the character’s name was Runch Randa. I was thinking of a name and just went with that, he added, “and I had a friend back then who educated me about rap, about Garion, Eminem, and Outsider.
Jimin made the joke that BTS is a result of MapleStory as RM ended his tale. Jin remarked, “You must have created that character at lunch,” as the other members came up with their own explanations on why RM selected that name.
RM collaborated with other underground rappers on songs published under the name Runch Randa. At the audition, RM ran into Sleepy from Untouchable, who introduced him to producer Bang Si-Hyuk and asked him to try out for BigHit Entertainment (now called BigHit Music). The seven-member group’s first recruit, RM, has been in charge of BTS ever since. He first went by the stage name Rap Monster until switching to RM in 2017. BTS has a record of album releases and accolades from all around the world.
His birthday was celebrated by the BTS official Twitter account sharing a photo of him along with a message wishing him a “happy birthday.” Earlier on Sunday, RM posted multiple images of the rapper to Instagram Stories along with the caption, “Sent by (my) pal. I’m grateful.”

“Don’t mix narrow politics into music,” said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in support of TM Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has endorsed Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna amid protests by several artists against his Sangitha Kalanidhi award.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin congratulated Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna for being selected for the Sangitha Kalanidhi award by The Music Academy, despite protests from several artists who oppose the award. Stalin expressed his appreciation for Krishna’s achievement.
Stalin criticized Krishna for his progressive political views and advocacy for the common man. He criticized Periyar for his fight for human equality and women’s equal rights for three-quarters of a century. Stalin argued that it is unfair to criticize Krishna for his progressive stances and not to unnecessarily lash out at Periyar, who fought for human equality and peace.
The Music Academy management deserves appreciation for recognizing TM Krishna’s contributions to the music industry. Krishna’s talent is undeniable, and he emphasized the need for a broad human vision and the ability to avoid hatred and embrace fellow human beings, rather than mixing narrow politics with religious beliefs.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Kanimozhi defended the recognition of carnatic vocalist @tmkrishna as Sangita Kalanidhi by the Music Academy, stating that the hate he is receiving for his social beliefs or his engagement with Periyar is uncalled for.
Several musicians have boycotted Madras Music Academy’s December conference, citing Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award for glorifying Periyar and vilifying the Carnatic music community.
Artists are upset with Chennai-based Madras Music Academy’s decision to bestow Oscar-equivalent honor on 48-year-old vocalist Krishna, who will preside over the 98th annual conference and concerts in December.
Indian classical duo Ranjani and Gayatri have criticized their participation in this year’s conference under TM Krishna’s presidency as a “moral violation.”
The Trichur Brothers, Srikrishna and Ramkumar Mohan, have expressed concerns about their participation in the Academy’s year-end festival conference, claiming it would make them “outright hypocrites.”
Krishna, an economics graduate, was a musical prodigy who began learning music from Bhagavathula Seetharama Sharma, followed by Carnatic vocalist Chingleput Ranganathan and Semmangudi Srinivas.
Krishna, the grandnephew of former Indian finance minister TT Krishnamachari, is a founder of the Madras Music Academy.
