BTS is held together by RM’s glue. He’s a songwriter, producer, and rapper who works tirelessly behind the scenes to bring many of their songs to life, in addition to being their leader and official spokesman. It’s difficult to find a BTS song that RM hasn’t worked on, as he has over 160 producing credits to his name. When he’s not composing and producing for the band, he’s busy working on solo music or music for other artists, demonstrating that he’s constantly working on something new. Fans who have followed BTS’ RM for a long time believe that all of his solo songs demonstrate his flexibility as an artist since they never know what to anticipate.
