In a surprising yet heartfelt Weverse Live on December 6, BTS leader RM candidly opened up about his inner struggles, team dynamics, and moments of doubt regarding the group’s future. This rare moment of vulnerability came just a day after fellow member Jungkook was swept up in dating rumors with aespa’s Winter, making RM’s appearance even more poignant.
“I’m not someone who can explain everything when something happens,” RM began, addressing the weight of expectations placed on him. “This job doesn’t allow us to share every behind-the-scenes story. I can’t represent the entire team—I’m just one human being.”
RM‘s words struck a deep chord with fans, many of whom have long seen him as the reliable anchor of BTS. But as he explained, the group has evolved: “In the past, I stepped up for the team. But now, each member is an individual, with different personalities and paths. I can’t decide for others.”
Most notably, RM confessed to having questioned the group’s continuation during tough periods:
“There were times when we thought about halting the team. I asked myself thousands of times—should we disband? Should we pause? Still, I’m thankful we’re together.”
He also hinted at complicated internal matters that fans may never fully understand. “People ask why we were inactive in the latter half of the year. We didn’t want to waste time either. But there are things we simply can’t explain.”
Despite the hardships, RM reassured fans with hopeful news: “The new album is nearly ready, and we practice every day.” However, he acknowledged the limits of what he can share due to HYBE’s status as a publicly listed company: “There’s a lot I can’t reveal because our company is listed. It’s not entirely up to me.”
In closing, RM offered fans an honest reflection: “I’ll make mistakes. I may not live up to your expectations. But we all have worries, and eventually, we have to move forward.”
His sincere words resonated widely with fans, who reacted with empathy and respect. Comments flooded in: “You can feel the burden RM carries,” and “I never imagined they ever considered disbanding.” As BTS approaches a critical chapter—with members enlisting, dating rumors, and shifting group dynamics—RM’s confession served as both a reality check and a reminder of the humanity behind global stardom.
