The original illustration is made by a South Korean artist who goes by the alias JOGUMAN. The artist has created a collection of eight cute dinosaur characters, each with a unique personality. All of them are portrayed in amusing, short, comic-style illustrations that drive this one motto home: “We are tiny little beings. But that doesn’t mean we’re unimportant.”
The character in RM’s lockscreen is called Brachio, who is flipping off the sun. But there is a cute backstory to this hilarious scene. The middle finger that Brachio is showing to the sun is a glove specially sewn by him because his actual middle finger is too cute to be considered intimidating.
| @joguman.studio/Instagram The world… is f*cked up!
F*ck you…
| @joguman.studio/Instagram Look at that middle finger, haha.
How cute!
That’s not intimidating at all!
| @joguman.studio/Instagram Brachio: I get it… It looks stupidly small to me, too.
Brachio’s middle finger: Not you, too…!
| @joguman.studio/Instagram Hmm…
Later that evening…
Trill
TrillFinally… It’s ready!
| @joguman.studio/Instagram F*CK EVERYTHING THAT GIVES ME A HARD TIME
| @joguman.studio/Instagram (Satisfied)
Hehe.
Brachio is described as “unforgiving” and “brutal.” He is a “strong and independent dinosaur” who is not afraid to speak up for himself. Fun fact: Brachio has a gun but uses it “only when it’s necessary.” Interestingly, some fans felt that RM resembled Brachio’s personality quite a lot.

Fans’ reaction to the particular illustration has been interestingly varied. While international fans felt that the lockscreen choice reflected RM’s unfiltered honesty, K-ARMYs interpreted it as RM expressing his frustration with the current hot weather in South Korea. But both could agree on how cute it was of RM to use the illustration as his lockscreen and then share it with fans.
