RM's Post ❇️
Hello
I'm writing you a letter for the first time in a while.
When people talk about someone being someone's saviour, I really like it,
but I also don't believe in it too much,
but also, as someone who has the immense fortune of hearing people say that to me,
I find myself reflecting on how I have probably been saved by you too.
I am trying to live in a way that's simpler, cleaner,
or, perhaps, bolder than before.
I have far fewer moments where I get caught up in emotions.
And yet the sad thing about the world
is that no matter how many happy days you have, those moments are still inevitable.
And maybe sometimes they're a result of being too happy.
I have said so much to you,
and sent across so many sounds to you, haven't I?
I don't know which melody, which pebble
found it's way to all of you here right now,
but I think I will just keep being someone who sends and throws things out to you.
That was the case 13 years ago, and will be in the future too.
As long as you are there to listen.
It is truly a joy to keep making memories together,
and to be able to go older one year after the other.
It is so great to still have someone to shout out to.
I look at myself again through you.
Do you do that too?
Thank you once again
for being with us on this special day of celebration.
This Saturday the 13th,
such a wonderful day.
Even if other people ask why they even mean anything,
I want to keep collecting these memories and these days of celebration that only we know, in one corner of my heart.
I hope you continue to support us.
I love you.

ARIRANG TOUR IN BUSAN D2 #RM ending ment for BTS 13th anniversary.
🐨 Ok everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve felt such mixed feelings like this.
🐨 13…
🗣️ *KIM NAMJOON*
🐨 Thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve heard that.
🐨 Everyone…well..
🐨 It’s been quite a long time, hasn’t it?
🐨 Honestly, it feels like just yesterday that we were in the practice room performing “No More Dream” and “We Are Bulletproof Pt.2,” but somehow all this time has already passed.
🐨 So much has changed since then.
🐨 We worked hard here in Korea, then gradually spent more and more time overseas, there was more English in our lyrics, and so many other changes happened along the way.
🐨 During that time, K-pop as an industry grew tremendously, and younger artists started coming to us more often.
🐨 They ask us things like, “How have you managed to stay together as a team for so long?”
🐨 They asked before we enlisted, and they still ask now.
🐨 But honestly, I don't really know.
🐨 I think I've continued to reflect on myself through these 6 members, and through all of you who are here and who continue to watch over us.
🐨 Unlike before, I don't really share my thoughts that often, and I don't talk openly about my feelings much either.
🐨 So it feels like it's been a while since I've said this to you.
🐨 Anyway, over the years, there was “Love Yourself”, there was “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life”, “Dynamite”,
and so many things all the way to ARIRANG.
🐨 While performing “Magic Shop” earlier, the past 13 years flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.
🐨 Anyway, being able to be here together like this is truly such an honor, and I'm so grateful.
🐨 No matter where we are, and no matter what we look like, we'll always do our very best, and keep working hard to show you who we truly are.
🐨 I hope you'll continue to stay with us for a long, long time.
🐨 Thank you. I love you.
🐨 Thank you.
"i do not particularly like or deeply believe in the phrase "someone saving someone else." However, having undeservedly heard such words from time to time, it makes me look back and realize that perhaps I, too, was saved by all of you" WE ALL GOTTA DIE FOR NAMJOON
In 2022, the South Korean government effectively scammed BTS out of 7 billion won for their Busan World Expo concert. Despite initially promising to cover the expenses for the event, the government ultimately left BTS to shoulder all the costs themselves. The government used this event as leverage to determine the members' military exemption status, but the members chose to announce their enlistment before the government could make a decision. Furthermore, the allocation of the 1 billion won personally donated by RM remains unaccounted for.
the harassment he faced for years about enlistment. two winters at the fucking frontlines. being an introvert who gets socially anxious. his struggles with all his allergies. watched 6 members be together while he was at the barracks.
he endured it all silently:(
