While changing their names before starting their career is common for celebrities, some of them took a big risk of losing their brand by switching their monikers at the height of their career.

AceShowbiz - BTS' (Bangtan Boys) member RM was also among celebrities who changed his stage name mid-career. The boy band's English-speaking frontman, who was previously known as Rap Monster, announced in 2017 that he would use the name "RM" moving forward.
While RM had released music and mixtapes under the RM name in the past, the move marked the first time he formally dropped Rap Monster as his moniker. The "Fake Love" hitmaker revealed that he made the decision due to the length of the name. He also claimed that Rap Monster no longer represented who he was or the music that he creates.
