When I only looked at the fragments of RM’s remarks floating around the timeline, it seemed as though he had spoken carelessly, so I went back and watched the full video that was uploaded on Weverse from start to finish myself. After seeing the entire thing, the feeling was completely different.
First of all, the message RM wanted to convey was crystal-clear.
He explained that BTS’s inability to be active in 2025 was due to unavoidable circumstances, yet the members have been steadily practicing, filming, and preparing for their comeback. He even said he’d love to show fans that process, but that he can’t give any spoilers right now.
The problem is that, ignoring this flow and context, people are cutting out only a few of RM’s sentences and spreading them as text or short clips, giving them a totally different nuance.
Taken in full context, though, RM was anything but careless. On the contrary, he was being extra cautious so that not even the slightest misunderstanding would arise, and his desire to put fans at ease came through even more strongly.
Rather than coming forward as “the leader issuing an official statement,” he spoke as someone who is deeply cherished by ARMY, and his words were filled with an earnest, almost protective wish that ARMY wouldn’t have to bear a single ounce of worry or hardship.

What they did to Yoongi singlehandedly ruined South Korea's reputation cuz they forgot that more than 90% of world knows them because of BTS, only haters and SK media took it too far cuz world was literally laughing at you for that.
