On June 4, Audrey Harim Kang, an extra in RM's 'LOST' music video, posted behind-the-scenes photos featuring herself with RM and other crew members. In her post, she expressed her delight, saying, "RM gave us Korean snacks and Korean ramyeon! I’ve been craving Korean snacks in London, so it was extra special when I received them. It definitely cheered everyone up." Among the variety of Korean snacks shared, fans particularly noticed Jin ramyeon, a brand endorsed by BTS member Jin. This charming detail created a delightful ‘NamJin forever moment’ that fans cherished.
