Oh. My. God.
During BTS much-awaited appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired Monday, band member RM, formerly known as Rap Monster, revealed that he learned English the best way ever by watching TV show Friends.
The BTS leader told host Ellen DeGeneres that his mother had bought him DVDs of all the Friends seasons. He watched them first with Korean subtitles before switching to English ones. And eventually, RM didnt need subtitles at all.
When I was 15 or 14, it was quite like a syndrome for all the Korean parents to make their kids watch Friends, RM said. I thought I was a victim at that time, but now Im the lucky one.
DeGeneres even ended up gifting the group, who performed their song Mic Drop , a bunch of Friends swag.
