On December 6, BTS leader RM addressed fans through a Weverse live broadcast, where he made a series of deeply reflective comments—just one day after fellow member Jungkook became the center of dating rumors involving aespa’s Winter.
During the live session, RM shared, “We have to live our own lives in order to sing and create songs. If we just keep standing in front of cameras and do nothing behind the scenes—if we don’t live any life at all—then how can our songs have any fragrance?” He emphasized the importance of living as a full human being, expressing that personal experiences fuel genuine artistic expression.
RM further delved into the complexities of being an artist, noting, “People like us who make music are full of flaws—I’m the same. But maybe our clumsiness contributes to the things we create.”
Though he didn’t mention any specific incident, RM’s heartfelt monologue appeared to subtly address the swirling rumors about Jungkook and Winter. Fans online have speculated about a romantic link between the two idols after discovering similar tattoos, matching accessories, and social media handles. Notably, Jungkook was reportedly seen attending an aespa concert while on military leave.
The rapper then touched on the topic of love, stating, “The cover of a book called love isn’t as important as what’s inside. These days, saying ‘I love you’ is easy. What truly matters is what you want to do for the person you love, and what you expect from them.”
RM’s sincere words resonated with many fans, especially amid the ongoing speculation. He humbly acknowledged, “I owe you all a lifetime. I’m not a genius or someone amazing—I’m just someone who’s trying, studying, and learning every day.”
He concluded with a poignant insight into love and human connection: “Love is something we learn. I don’t think we’re born knowing how to love. We learn how to love by looking at each other.”
Meanwhile, the agencies of both Jungkook and Winter have remained silent, stating they have “no comment” on the rumors. BTS is currently preparing for a full group comeback scheduled for spring next year, marking their long-awaited reunion after individual activities and military enlistments.
