More about RM's letter to ARMY on Weverse
BTS' leader wrote a heartfelt letter to the ARMY on Weverse. He greeted ARMY with New Year wishes and informed them that he had now been promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He pondered a bit about him being in his 30s.
"I don't know how I got here but I'm already 32 years old in Korean age. I see myself desperately insisting that I'm 30 according to international age, and it hits me that I've really become an old uncle now. (I add on that actually, being 30 today is the equivalent of being 4 or 5 years younger back in the day..)"
In the letter, he spoke a lot about eagerly waiting for the discharge and June 2025. He also reflected a bit on the past year and promised to share his thoughts soon after
"When I return as civilian Kim Namjoon, I have so many things that I want to to tell you. Including things that are difficult to talk about right now..I think I should be able to talk about them in my own way at some point. Whenever I can't sleep and am wandering in the night, it's always something I think about. It'll pass, surely.. June 10 is coming. I will definitely be laughing then. Just gotta laugh like hohahhohoho!"
He ended the letter by telling fans not to worry about him.
