BTS’s RM has barely finished unpacking from his military discharge, and he’s already reminding the world why he’s the undisputed Meme King. In a move that only Namjoon could pull off, he recreated the iconic Squirtle saxophone meme—complete with glasses and all—just days after returning to civilian life.
Yes, ARMY, our President of Clownery is back.
The Meme We Didn’t Know We Needed
For those living under a rock, the original meme is a clip of a Squirtle toy wearing tiny black sunglasses while playing a plastic saxophone—a pure serotonin boost in video form. RM, who’s long been lovingly compared to Squirtle thanks to his round cheeks and dimpled smile, decided to give the internet the gift of himself as Squirtle, proving that his humor remains undefeated.
He posted the video on Instagram, wearing dark glasses, holding a saxophone, and channeling chaotic Squirtle energy, making ARMY lose their collective minds.
Fans: “Meme King Has Returned”
Fans flooded social media with:
“RM is back and immediately feeding us the best content.”
“The world is healing. Namjoon is back.”
The timing was perfection, as ARMY had been emotional over RM’s return, only for him to pop up with a goofy video that had everyone cackling through their tears.
