BTS member RM opened up about his state of mind ahead of the group’s full reunion next year, sharing candid reflections during a Weverse Live broadcast on December 6.
“Many people ask, ‘Why did you waste the second half of 2025?’ or ‘Why didn’t you do anything?’” RM said. “I also wanted to pursue various activities after being discharged, but there were circumstances I can’t talk about. I don’t have the right to explain everything, so I can’t disclose it all.”
He noted that it has already been more than three years since BTS’s last concert in October 2022. “I want to perform right away, but preparing for it requires so much, and the personal pressure is huge,” he admitted. “Since last month, I haven’t even been able to sleep. I was thinking about whether I should get a prescription for sleeping pills.”
RM apologized for the long wait: “I’m truly sorry for making you wait so long. But we have our reasons, and we can’t come back easily until we can present something you’ll be satisfied with.”
He continued, “Considering the scale and all the circumstances involved, this may sound like an excuse, but I ask for your understanding. We will return. There may be times when it’s not exactly what you hoped for, but I will do my best.”
RM then surprised fans by addressing the possibility of disbandment—a thought he said crossed his mind repeatedly. “I’ve wondered thousands of times, ‘Would it be better for the team to disband or go on hiatus?’” he revealed. “But the reason we’re still together is because of the love between the members and the respect we have for our fans.”
He ended the broadcast with a heartfelt message to ARMY: “I love you all. I hope you really know that. Even if that love doesn’t come back to me in the same way, I’ll keep loving you in my own way.”
