On the August 11th episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show 'The Return of Superman,' Sleepy shared a heartwarming story involving BTS's RM and fellow artist DinDin.

During the episode, viewers got to see DinDin's nephew Niccolo meet Sleepy's 106-day-old daughter, Wooah, for the first time.

As they spent time together, DinDin talked about his close bond with Sleepy, saying, "We’ve known each other for about 10 years. We've been through so much together—failures, successes, tears, and joy. I even know all the details about how Wooah came to be. Without me, there wouldn’t be Wooah," he joked.

Sleepy expressed his deep appreciation for DinDin, saying, "Honestly, I see DinDin as an older brother. From the moment we met, he has always taken care of everything, paying for meals and more. After I got married, he gave me a big gift, like a refrigerator. That’s when he truly became an older brother to me."

DinDin went above and beyond, buying most of the household appliances in Sleepy’s home, including a refrigerator, microwave, speakers, and a clothing care device.

But the biggest surprise came when Sleepy revealed, "If I’m being honest, RM tops the list when it comes to gifts. He sent me 10 million won in cash as a wedding gift," leaving everyone stunned.

DinDin then explained the special connection between Sleepy and RM. "When RM was rapping in the underground scene and forming BTS, he asked Sleepy if he knew anyone good, and Sleepy introduced RM to him."

He added, "Later, RM sent a message to Sleepy after hearing about his marriage and asked for his account number. Even though Sleepy said, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay,’ RM still sent 10 million won with a simple 'ding-dong.'"
