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 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.
