RM Promises BTS Will Be Back in 2025: "This Is Like a Vacation"

RM, a member of K-pop sensation BTS, promised ARMY that the band is on target to regroup right on schedule.

After reading a heartfelt letter from an ARMY member expressing how much the K-pop idols have meant to their fans over the past decade, RM offered some assurance, and hope, that things will be back to normal soon.

“I hope our songs and solo projects could be another reminder to you guys of how important ARMY was, has been and will be in our lives at the same time,” he said during a Weverse live stream over the weekend.

“I hope that it is a reminder that spring will come again. Please continue to keep BTS alive in your hearts, in this moment and perhaps throughout your entire life.”

After sharing the ARMY thoughts, RM got personal, noting that bandmate Suga talked “a lot” about the feelings he had during his 28-show solo run this year and how much love he felt from ARMY, who are patiently “waiting for the reunion in 2025”.

In October 2022, BTS’ seven members announced that they were taking a hiatus to focus on solo projects and serve South Korea’s mandatory military service requirement.

“Even though we’re doing our solo activities on our own… what I’m thinking these days when I’m doing my solo projects is… this is just like a vacation,” RM said of his solo efforts.

“To get back to where I was, which was BTS and ARMY. All the solo [activities] is just a journey,” he said. “But it is a very important journey for Chapter 2. But it’s a journey to get back home safe.”

And then RM uttered the words all of the ARMY have been waiting to hear. 

“Eventually, when we get back and reunite together in 2025… [we will] be back for sure. We’ll be joining together again. And that will be in 2025.”

During the 40-minute video chat, RM also busted out some dance moves, admitting that he is “scared” he’s going to forget the group’s chores if he doesn’t keep practicing. He also munched on a candy bar and fessed up that he doesn’t really watch soccer unless it’s the World Cup.

So far, Jin and J-Hope have entered the military, and Suga is expected to go next.
