Previously, the leader of BTS said that he faced a lot of mental pressure during the hiatus, to the point of prolonged insomnia. RM also shared that there were difficulties that he could not make public with fans, and admitted that he had considered whether BTS should continue or stop.
This statement quickly climbed the top of the discussion when the fan community expressed mixed emotions. A group of fans said they sympathized with the pressure RM had to endure during the group's hiatus due to military service. However, many opinions reacted strongly, saying that the male idol's confession was "sensitive" and "unsuitable" at the time when fans were waiting for the group's reunion.
Many comments said that mentioning the possibility of disbandment, especially when BTS has been on hiatus for many years, could hurt fans. Some opinions even call this an act of " disrespect" to those who wait patiently for the group. On the contrary, there are also netizens who speak up to defend RM, saying that he is sharing his true feelings as an artist under pressure from success for more than a decade.
In addition to criticism, many people viewed RM's statement as reflecting the overall confusion of the members after a long time of working at the top. According to some opinions, thinking about the group's future is natural and should not be seen as a negative thing.
Although the debate continues to spread, fans still hope that these shares will open up a more sincere conversation between BTS and the fan community as the group prepares for a new phase after completing their military service.
