More about BTS RM's Weverse letter to his fans
RM, who has previously penned heartfelt letters to his fans, once again shared a long and emotional letter on Weverse. He began by reflecting on the weather and the changing seasons in Korea.
As he nears the final stage of his military service, with just 99 days remaining, the BTS member refers to himself as Robin Hood, counting down his last days while questioning whether he is stranded.
He shared his nightly reading habit and introduced his current book, The Art of Loving. He questioned why people expect to love effortlessly when other skills require practice. He wrote:
"The point is this: We practice and train dozens, even hundreds of times to draw well, to play the guitar well, to study well.But when it comes to love—the most important thing in life—why do we expect to just do it, without any practice or training?"
RM then reflected on the nature of love, commitment, and connections, including his own relationship with fans. He recommended that his fans read the book, even though it is 50 years old.
The idol concluded the letter by expressing his anticipation for his imminent return, with just three months and 18% of his military service remaining. He vowed to reorganize his heart and mind and to share new stories and music. He wrapped up the letter by writing:
"I love you, as always.This is my resolve.This is my promise.I miss you! Early summer and swarms of grasshoppers—You little punks, hurry up and come!!"
RM, along with his bandmates SUGA, V, Jimin, and Jungkook, is set to complete his mandatory military service by June 2025.
