Netizens are currently sharing their reactions to RM’s shocking confession, made earlier today.
On December 6, BTS’s RM shocked fans worldwide by confessing that he has thought about BTS disbanding thousands of times. He expressed his deep consideration over the matter, as he tried to figure out whether it would be best for the group to continue or disband.
RM also opened up about the difficulties he and the group have gone through over the past year, saying the stress has been so intense he can barely sleep anymore, and that there have been many struggles he can’t reveal to fans.
RM’s candid discussion quickly gained attention, with fans all over the world surprised by his words. While many showed their support for RM and the challenges he faced during BTS’s hiatus, others are upset with his confession. Netizens are currently discussing RM’s statement of “considering BTS disbanding countless times“, with mixed opinions overall:
“They’ve been on hiatus for several years now. To talk about disbanding so casually like this is so disrespectful to the fans who waited for them”
“Is that something you should to say to the fans who patiently waited during your military service hiatus? Disband and retire already”
“They’re not even active… Is he threatening the fans or something? Just do whatever you want…”
“But it seems like he talks about that quite often. He must feel burdened by his position. If that’s the case, I think he should just do it”
“No matter what way I look at it, talking about the disbandment story wasn’t the right thing to do”
“Honestly admitting that they’ve reached the end and knowing when to leave while the applause is still going, would be a great act of courage. Who is really afraid of BTS disbanding? Is it the fans? Or is it BTS themselves?”
“It makes no sense that RM is getting criticized for this”
“Their egos have grown, so they want to quit the group but still want to keep making more money”
“Well, it also seems like they’re just in a rut. No matter what song they release, it’ll be at the top of the charts worldwide, and if they release an album, no matter the quality, it’ll sell millions of copies, and if they perform, no matter the setting, the stadium will be sold out, and everyone they meet will be bowing down to them… A life where success is too easy, a life where there’s no meaning in trying anymore…”
“I remember hearing rumors about them wanting to disband even 5 years ago, and it seems like nothing has changed since”
“I think BTS is just the type to think a lot and overthink things”
“People are criticizing RM too much for this. He’s just thinking like a professional artist, of course he would consider all the options”
“Groups who are constantly talking about disbandment are always the ones who never actually disband, lol”
