The photo shows him wearing a black knit sweater, gazing seriously at the camera. On the 6th of this month, RM held a live stream on Weverse, communicating openly with fans. He revealed, "I have thought countless times about whether we should disband or pause the group. The reason we continue as a group is because of the immense love for each other and the love and respect for all of you." He continued, "People around us say, 'Why did you waste the latter half of 2025?' or 'Why didn't you do anything?' but we didn't want that either. I also wanted to be active after my military discharge, but there were things I couldn't talk about, and there was a reason for that decision. I have no right to speak about it. I wanted to do so much. The last concert was in October 2022, and already three years have passed. I want to perform as soon as possible." He later apologized for causing fatigue among many ARMYs (the name for fans) regarding his comments about considering disbandment during the live stream two days ago.
