In the video, RM explained that he wanted to show a kitschy vibe that contrasts with his outfit. He was relieved that the photoshoot turned out well and revealed to ARMYs that to prepare for the shoot, he only ate salads for two weeks. The idol took it a step further for the day of the shooting, telling the viewers that he ran on the treadmill that morning.
"I am proud since it turned out pretty great," the leader said. RM tells fans that with that mindset, he will continue to work hard tomorrow and the day after that as well.
RM is known for his ripped physique. The members have often said that they were jealous of RM's body, as the idol is both tall and muscular. He is also a huge foodie but is willing to sacrifice to show ARMYs the best version of himself.
