BTS RM aka Kim Namjoon recently delighted fans with a nostalgic treat on Instagram. On January 20, the rapper shared two precious childhood photos, giving ARMYs a rare glimpse into his early years and his bond with his dad.
In one photo, a young Namjoon can be seen happily riding on his dad’s back, while in the other, the duo strikes a playful peace sign pose for the camera. The pictures, seemingly taken at their home, capture the warmth and joy of their father-son relationship. RM also updated his Instagram display picture with one of these heartwarming snaps, further adding to the excitement among fans.
Namjoon posting a childhood pic with his dad made me think how his dad before namjoon entered in the military mad a scribble note for him:

The pictures quickly went viral on social media, with ARMYs flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter) with endearing reactions. One fan shared the photo, exclaiming, "This is the cutest thing ever," while another commented on RM’s updated profile picture, humorously noting, "NAMJOON HAVING A PFP CRISIS AND CHANGING IT UNTIL IT IS WELL ALIGNED, HE IS THE CUTEST CUTIE PATTOTIE."
Another fan shared a touching memory of RM’s dad, recalling a note he wrote for Namjoon before his military enlistment. The note, accompanied by a drawing, symbolized their close bond.

While the childhood photos brought smiles to fans, RM’s recent Instagram activity has been a topic of discussion. The rapper unfollowed all BTS members, including Jungkook’s pet dog Bam, sparking concern and speculation. However, he quickly re-followed everyone, easing fans’ worries. As RM continues his military service, which will conclude in June 2025, these cherished glimpses into his life remind the ARMYs of the thoughtful and grounded leader they admire.
