BTS' RM wrote a letter to ARMY on Weverse as his discharge date nears
RM shared a message on Weverse on March 3, 2025, reflecting on his military service in Hwacheon, where it recently snowed 17 cm. The Wings singer noted the contrast in Korea's weather, with some parts of Jeonbuk experiencing temperatures over 20°C. He mentioned a junior building an igloo and described life as unpredictable.
The BTS leader discussed marking off days on his calendar, comparing it to "Robin Hood," and questioned whether he feels stranded. He shared that he has been reading The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm and reflected on the idea that love requires effort and practice, similar to art or skills.
The K-pop idol noted that society often views love as emotions and dramatic moments, whereas it involves commitment and decisions. He also questioned the meaning of love in the context of his music and the connection between artists and listeners.
With three months (18%) of his service remaining, RM stated that time feels slow but continues to move forward. The Ilsan native said he plans to use this period for self-reflection before returning.
Namjoon acknowledged the arrival of spring while still dealing with snow and mentioned looking forward to summer. Ending his message, he noted his intent to return and reconnect with fans while expressing excitement for the months ahead.
