BTS's RM revealed that he has thought about disbanding the group and apologized for the mixed reactions. RM stated yesterday (8th) through Weverse, "I seem to have tired many ARMY (the name of the fans) during the live stream two days ago, and I apologize. I received many worried messages. I regret that I should not have streamed, but my frustrating feelings got ahead of me. I'm sorry." He added, "Please look at me warmly. I will live by making music, practicing choreography together, thinking of new content, and getting good sleep." He mentioned, "I will soon take a road test, and yesterday I went around all four courses with a sticker for the road test. I'm scared (there were no accidents). I also watched a movie called 'The Color of Pomegranate' yesterday, and I finished all the home decor, returning home after six months. I will introduce it once I finish decorating. I tried to make a snowman duck and took out the snowman-making machine, but it all melted. It's very cold, but please dress warmly and don't catch a cold. Well then," he shared his recent updates. Earlier, on the 6th, RM interacted with fans during a Weverse live stream, stating, "Due to the nature of this profession, I cannot talk about everything behind the scenes. I am no longer in a position to speak for the group. I am also a human being, and after about five years since debut, the members have developed their own personalities and life directions. The idea of 'I should make the members do this' no longer applies." He continued, "There have been many situations where group activities were put on hold, and that is why I am very grateful for the fact that we can be together." He also revealed, "I have thought thousands of times whether it would be better to disband or pause the group. The reason we are continuing as a group now is because of the immense love among the members and the love and respect for you all." He showed a strong will for activities, saying, "I hope that when I close my eyes and open them again, it will be next year. December is very tough. I will prepare well and show you." BTS is preparing a new album and tour with the goal of a full group comeback next spring. *This article is based on local media coverage. - BTS's RM candidly shares his feelings before the full group comeback, saying he has thought about disbandment and pausing activities thousands of times. - BTS's RM, following Kyoto, is also trending with recent shots taken in Tokyo at museums and cafes.
