In 2010, upon joining Big Hit Entertainment, RM adopted the stage name 'Rap Monster.' This name, which he used for about five years, originated from a part of a pre-debut promotion song that resonated well with producer Bang Si-hyuk and others.

In May 2017, as BTS's international fame skyrocketed, RM changed his stage name to 'RM,' which stands for both 'Rap Monster' and 'Real Me.' This change coincided with BTS's increased interactions with international media and symbolized a more comprehensive representation of his identity.
