The leader of the South Korean boy band BTS, Kim Namjoon, popularly known as RM, celebrated his 31st birthday on September 12. He and fellow member Kim Taehyung shared some snippets from the celebration on Instagram stories, giving fans a peek into the food menu. Let’s check out what was served!
BTS Leader Kim Namjoon Turns 31
Known worldwide as RM, Kim Namjoon is a South Korean rapper, songwriter, and the leader of the famous K-pop group BTS. For his 31st birthday, he not only celebrated with his band members but also shared glimpses of the food menu.
The menu included small bites, Roasted Sesame Tofu, Wood-Fired Diamond Turbot, Summer Squash Noodles, and much more. The photos also showed RM blowing out candles on a cake and making a wish with folded hands. Another violet-coloured cake was also spotted, which looked absolutely delicious.
Healthy Yet Mouth-Watering Dishes
The dishes on the menu sounded both healthy and lip-smacking. While Roasted Sesame Tofu stood out, it was the Summer Squash Noodles that got us curious. These are often called zoodles, made from zucchini sliced into noodle-like strands. Low-carb and gluten-free, they make for a healthier alternative to regular pasta.
The Wood-Fired Diamond Turbot, a flatfish prepared using a wood-fire method, added a smoky flavour while keeping the meat soft and succulent. Honestly, everything on the menu looked guilt-free. It felt perfect for a celebration, too. The menu also matched the BTS members’ lifestyle, since they are known to be strict about their health and diets.
Apart from cakes and meals, RM also marked the occasion with a generous donation of 200 million won (₹1.26 crore approx.) to domestic hospitals. According to a report by Hindustan Times, he donated 100 million won(₹63.3 lakh approx.) each to the Asian Medical Centre in Seoul and Korea University Medical Centre as development funds. Reportedly, he makes donations every year on his birthday to support patients in need of medical treatment. Truly, there couldn’t be a better way to celebrate.
