Normally, fans rarely get to see photos or information about idols’ family members being made public on social media. This is to ensure privacy and to avoid unnecessary trouble for family members who are not public figures. The truth is clear — the public and the media can be a complicated, and at times toxic, environment.

In particular, this has always been the number one priority for world-clαѕѕ K-pop superstars like BTS. Over the years, the members have made great efforts to protect their families from being exposed to the public eye. They often cover the faces of their parents or siblings when posting family photos and refrain from mentioning them publicly. Having endured enough themselves, they understand the consequences of their family members becoming targets of malicious people.

Meanwhile, ARMYs have constantly urged other fans to refrain from revealing the faces, identities, or private information of idols’ family members, as well as from disturbing them in any way.

However, that doesn’t mean the members always hide their families. In reality, you can’t hide someone completely unless you lock them away in a corner of a room forever. Besides, many of the members’ relatives are public figures in their own right — influencers or business owners — which naturally makes them easier for the public to recognize, such as j-hope’s sister, RM’s younger sister, or Jimin’s father.

Because of this, it seems the members have gradually become more open about sharing glimpses of their families — especially RM. On November 5, he even shared, for the very first time, a set of family portraits featuring his loved ones. The photo clearly shows how closely the parents, son, and daughter of the Kim family resemble one another.

In the first picture he uploaded to his Instagram Story, the family presents their finest look, dressed formally and neatly. Kim’s father and RM are wearing identical suits, perfectly embodying the image of dependable family men, while his mother appears gentle and graceful, and his younger sister looks so pretty — the cherished women of the family.

The second photo he shared gives off an entirely different vibe — youthful and endearing — as the whole family changes into matching athletic outfits. This time, RM’s mother becomes the center of attention, wearing a similar tracksuit but in wнιтe. Fans couldn’t help but go “Aww” at the overwhelming cuteness of the Kim family.

But what fans noticed the most was the small detail in the first picture RM posted on his Instagram Story — a filename clearly labeled “251105 RM-nim family photo.” This indicates that the two family portraits were taken on that very same day and hadn’t even been edited yet when he hurriedly shared them with fans.

ARMYs were deeply moved by RM’s willingness to share such a private, heartwarming family moment with the entire fandom. They understood that he must feel incredibly safe and comfortable with ARMYs to post pictures of his parents and sister without covering their faces. That made fans appreciate these photos even more.

Fans also went wild over how RM truly embo∂ιєs the image of a family man. The presence of his family is always a constant in his life. On his rare days off, he is often seen spending time going out, exercising, or taking walks with his parents. He has even taken his family on trips to Europe and the U.S. after completing BTS’s group activities. Moreover, RM often speaks fondly of his parents and sister in his conversations with fans.

And this time, RM’s eagerness to share his family photos with ARMY once again highlights the deep love he holds for his family. Fans couldn’t help but comment:

- Namjoon posted pics with his family on his ig story right after they took. Soo lovely of him!! 

- He didn’t even wait a day before sharing those family photos — just pure excitement and love. I can’t deal with how genuine and warm-hearted he is. I’m falling for him all over again.”
