BTS's RM revealed a unique episode that occurred during his military service, bringing laughter. On the 20th, RM, along with J-HOPE, Jimin, and V, held a live broadcast on the fan community platform Weverse, discussing memories from their military service. On this day, RM started by saying, 'I gave my credit card to the juniors in the neighboring squad and told them, 'Go buy some snacks.' However, they ended up buying a large amount of items from snail cream to daily necessities, totaling 660,000 won (about 7,000 dollars).' He reflected on the situation at that time, adding, 'As a result, even the PX's POS register broke down, and it was said that there was no precedent for this at the Nonsan training center,' surprising those around him. In response, Jimin interjected, 'Isn't buying snail cream a bit excessive?' making everyone laugh. RM continued, 'Because the register broke down, I was called by the company commander, who asked, 'What on earth did you do?' I replied, 'I just asked them to buy snacks.' He further revealed, 'The juniors also bought health products to send to their mothers, and the receipt had over 100 items.' Finally, RM said, 'After that, the juniors came to me, bowed their heads to the ground, and said, 'I'm sorry, brother.' So I said, 'It's fine, but isn't snail cream a bit different?' He added.
