BTS‘ leader, RM, recently took his fans on an emotional journey in an unexpected live broadcast on Weverse. Setting a casual tone, he began by saying, “I was working on music by myself here but I wanted to stop by and see you. I was going to turn on music and do it, but it’s chaotic, so I can’t multitask. I used a filter because I’m wearing black, and my hair is black with the black background, but I look like an older person.”

RM discussed his new buzz cut, a topic that had garnered much attention. Fans’ compliments led to a heartwarming response from him, “What should we talk about? Why did I cut my hair? Because I wanted to! My hair, my choice! It’s harder to take care of buzzcuts. I haven’t buzzed it for about a week, so it’s iffy. ‘Our Namjoon, you look pretty no matter what you do.’ How big is your love, guys? Thank you for even loving this strange hair.”

RM on his members

This light-hearted start was a prelude to a series of deeper revelations. A surprising revelation was RM‘s long-held dream of becoming an author, which remains in the back of his heart and mind. “Will I write a book? It was a dream of mine to be an author! Once I’m prepared, maybe I could write one, but I think it’ll be hard because I love music and performing.”

RM also talked about performing at SUGA’s D-DAY concert. “For the first time in 10 months, I was on a big stage. The last big stage I stood on was BTS‘ Yet to Come concert in Busan. For the first time after the UN speech, my hands were shaking a lot!”

 

Speaking of the other BTS members, RM expressed excitement about their future as a group. He said, “Oh, I should talk about the members! Once we get back together, we’ll work hard as a team. We talked about this as a team, too. As you saw at the concert, Jin-hyung and Hobi came and saw it with us. We all drank together too!”

RM praised the new material by Jungkook and V. He also confirmed that he’s working on something of his own. “What do I think of Jungkook‘s new song? ‘Seven’ is a bop! Anyone can groove along to it when they drive, shower, dance. I’m proud of what he’s doing. How do I like Tae‘s songs? I like them too. I watched the MV with the puppy that looks like Yeontan! I’m planning to release another album too, but with Taehyung‘s album coming out soon, mine will have to wait. I’m still working on it anyway. As you guys know, I’m so good at spoiling, so I’m trying to be careful.”

A poignant turn

The broadcast took a poignant turn when RM shared SUGA‘s thoughts about his recently-concluded world tour, emphasizing the anticipation of reuniting with ARMY in 2025. RM also touched on “Love Letters,” the song fans wrote and recorded for BTS as a gift on their tenth anniversary.

“SUGA-hyung talked a lot about how he felt during his world tour and how much love is waiting for our reunion in 2025. Even though we’re doing solo projects, I think of this time as a vacation before returning to BTS and ARMY. These solo projects are just a journey, but they’re an important part of Chapter Two. They’re a journey to ensure we return safely when we reunite in 2025,” he said.

“Thank you for making this song,” he added. “I promise I’ve never taken this love for granted, and I’ll continue to feel the same in the future. I believe all the other members feel the same. When I experience this kind of love, it helps me overcome challenges and trials in life. It might be the same for you guys. Thank you for this amazing song! Yes, I’m getting emotional. I can be emotional too! I won’t deny that.”

RM made a promise

He also shared the heart-wrenching news of his pet Rapmon’s passing. “Ah Moni! I never shared the news with you guys. Moni, two-three months ago, he crossed the rainbow bridge. It wasn’t long, the time he was with me. But he was a family member. I bought a drawing that looks like him and hung it up.”

Concluding the session, RM promised more interactions and hinted at upcoming projects, “Always be healthy and I’m coming to the company a lot so I’ll come back on here too! Please love my buzz cut and my solo project too though I don’t know when it’ll be released.”
