BTS's RM revealed his candid thoughts on marriage and childbirth. On the 5th, RM held a live stream through the fan community platform Weverse. He shared that he was working on music during the Chuseok holiday and continued to interact with fans. During the conversation, RM said, 'I am already 32 years old,' and added, 'If I meet good timing and good connections, I can get married, or I can live alone like this. I think there is no right answer.' He continued, 'Recently, I think there are pressures and realistic problems regarding marriage. Especially, women face pressure from society and media regarding children and various issues, but I hope everyone can live at their own pace.' He further questioned, 'If I cannot spend my time alone well, will getting married really make it better?' He noted that even after marriage, one might still feel lonely, and that a person's ability to be happy alone reflects their ability to be happy with someone else. He expressed hesitation about choosing marriage as an escape from loneliness. RM also touched on the topic of children, saying, 'It's hard enough to raise myself, how can I manage a new life? Thinking about how I troubled my parents as a child, what if a child like me is born? Oh, how gloomy that would be.' He acknowledged that while there can be love, there is no right answer. Those who are married can only speak from their perspective, and those who are not can only speak from theirs... they cannot understand each other. RM concluded by stating, 'In Korea, I think we, born in the 90s, are the first generation where marriage has become an 'option.' We should just follow our own choices.'
