Recently appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, RM, alongside Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, was caught in an unexpectedly viral moment. It all started when Jimmy Fallon casually asked about the best part of them living together, with J-Hope first chiming in about how much they enjoyed eating together, before the night took a sharp turn as RM casually mentioned they had lived together for “six, seven years,” a line that instantly sent the audience into a frenzy.

The unexpected drop pulled the moment straight into the internet’s 2025 chaotic “6 7” meme wave, a trend known for its absurd, nonsensical “brain rot” humor and even dubbed one of the year’s most iconic viral phrases, leaving even the members momentarily taken aback as the clip spiralled into one of the most talked-about moments online.

“We actually lived together for like six, seven years,” RM said, sending the crowd into a burst of laughter.

Even Jimmy Fallon himself was not spared, as the host was left caught in laughter, visibly thrown off by RM’s perfectly timed delivery. Meanwhile, as the viral moment stole the spotlight, the two-night takeover had already kicked off with Night 1 on March 25 featuring a full-group interview and the first live performance of ’SWIM,’ while Night 2, set for March 26, is expected to continue the momentum with another performance.

Building on this momentum, ‘ARIRANG‘ unfolds as a 14-track journey, featuring songs like ‘Body to Body,’ ‘Hooligan,’ ‘Aliens,’ ‘FYA,’ ‘2.0,’ ‘No. 29,’ ‘SWIM,’ ‘Merry Go Round,’ ‘Normal,’ ‘Like Animals,’ ‘they don't know 'bout us,’ ‘One More Night,’ ‘Please,’ and ‘Into the Sun.’ At its core, ‘SWIM’ carries a message of pushing forward despite chaos, while the album dives into themes of identity and Korean culture, elevated by global collaborations that shape a comeback both personal and expansive.

As BTS continue to dominate screens and conversations alike, RM’s viral moment only proves that even in their grand comeback era, it takes just one unscripted line to set the internet on fire.
