“Sometimes it feels really embarrassing when someone calls us a 21st-century Beatles or something like that,” RM told EW. “But if they want to call us a boy band, then we’re a boy band. If they want to call us a boy group, we’re a boy group. If they want to call us K-pop, then we’re cool with K-pop.”
