RM is currently serving in the military along with other members of his group and will return in 2025. It is a bittersweet feeling for BTS ARMY as the singer will remain absent from the limelight for some time.
On the special occasion of Lunar New Year's Day, RM penned a heartfelt letter for the fans and gave updates about his well-being in the military.
RM wrote, "Hello, ARMY. How are you doing I have been adjusting well to my bed. I ate rice cake soup, too. Since it's Lunar New Year's Day, I'm taking a break and living well. I'll have to spend the Lunar New Year one more time to see you. I'll do my best. I believe it will be another place of learning and experience. Stay healthy anytime, anywhere. I hope there are more good things than bad things. I hope that our relationship will continue. Happy New Year!"
RM earlier posted some pictures with V from the military after graduating from the training.
He was earlier in the news after he mistakenly posted a picture of himself smoking on Instagram and deleted it later. The deleted photo immediately went viral on social media and BTS fans expressed their concern over RM's health. He addressed his smoking controversy and said, 'Guys please, guys come on, it’s my life, tell your opinions about- I don’t know guys, I’m just a singer."
He had earlier expressed the dilemma celebrities face in sharing things on social media. "It's a dilemma I face because my act of sharing can make me look like a pushover. Many celebrities, stars, and artists prefer mystery, maybe because they have many scars or because they don't want to open up," he said.
RM added, "Personally, I think it's good to share with our fans both the good and the bad, the pros and cons, and the shadows that hang over us. From an outsider's perspective, it may seem BTS's success has grown exponentially, but that is not true. It might not have been necessary to reveal that we had considered disbanding, but confessions can sometimes make people stronger."
On the work front, RM released his solo album Indigo, which was a huge hit. He also appeared in Jimin's documentary Jimin's Production Diary.
Our relationship will continue always and forever. Please dont't worry. Thank for visiting us #APOBANGPO pic.twitter.com/qWXpchn1q7
