The K-pop septet has revealed their 'Fairytale' nicknames along with stunning pictures of the members embodying the given names

In the latest edition of ‘Army Zip’, exclusive content for global BTS army membership holders, the K-pop septet has revealed their "Fairytale" nicknames along with stunning pictures of the members embodying the given names. Fans are in total agreement with the quirky names and the beautiful message behind the names which totally go with the individual member’s persona. BTS' RM is called "Daddy Long Legs" and a certain fairy tale baby is called "Uturi". Read on to know who.

According to a fan page of BTS, the leader of the group RM aka Namjoon is called Daddy Long Legs which comes from the novel with the same title. In the book,  “a man gave an orphan girl tuition and allowance in exchange for her writing one-way letters to him supposedly to improve her writing skills.”

The description totally sounds like the ‘Mono’ rapper who has gained appreciation from all over the world for being the kind of person who can lead a group from nothing to everything without letting the hullabaloo of fame change their personal dynamics.

In the Army Zip content, the description says, just like the novel, RM wants to send the BTS army love and comfort. It read "RM is sending a signal to ARMY all over the world. Just the same way brief phase ‘Love Yourself’ resonates long in our memories. RM has given the name ‘folk tale’ to define his tale with Army.

Other members’ endearing names have also made fans love and laugh. Jin, the oldest member and vocalist for the group is called "Little Prince" who says that his story with ARMY is “a story with a happy ending.” Suga aka Yoongi is called "Puss In Boots" who believes his tale with the fans should be called ‘a never-ending story.’ J-hope aka Hoseok, the lead dancer and rapper is named "Pinocchio" who has said, his bond with the army is "brilliant and awesome".

Jimin is aptly titled "Pied Piper" given the member’s enigmatic charm and shares, his relationship with the fans should be called “a story that makes us imagine a warm-hearted ending.” Kim Taehyung aka V, the second youngest member gets the most adorable name "Uturi" which is taken from a Korean fairy tale where a baby named Uturi has certain superpowers.

Taehyung called his tale with the ARMY, “a story that lingers in our minds.” The youngest member of the group, the incredibly talented Jungkook has been named "Peter Pan" who has said that his story with ARMY is written together.

BTS army has taken to Twitter to show their support for the names as they fill the microblogging site with RM’s long legs clips as receipts. A fan posted, “leaving these here for daddy long legs day.” Another shared, “Namjoon is Daddy Long Legs... THAT SPEAKS TRUTH.” Another shared pictures from the exclusive Army zip content, with a caption that read “IM SCRWAMING DADDY LONG LEGS RN.”

Just when you think BTS can't find any more possible ways to win ARMY's heart, they just do in their most beautiful and meaningful way to spread love and warmth. BTS' latest album 'BE' stands true to that statement.
