BTS’ RM, recently discharged from his mandatory military service, has been gushing about being back to his normal life, the work he loves, and his fans, who stood as his constant pillar through these 18 long months. Kim Namjoon and Kim Taehyung officially completed their service on June 10. Soon after, the duo went live on Weverse, opening up about their military days. But RM left fans a bit worried when he admitted being diagnosed with insomnia and had to rely on pills.
Now, ahead of BTS’ 12th debut anniversary, RM once again returned to Weverse, penning what he called his ‘bizarre/strange’ feelings but ended up leaving fans in tears with the raw emotion. In his post, the Indigo hitmaker reflected on how surreal it felt to see June 13 arrive again, admitting last year’s anniversary was particularly hard. He confessed that he had been waiting for this moment even more than the fans themselves, repeating how much he waited, waited, and waited for this day to finally come.

RM pens his raw emption on BTS’ 12 debut anniversary
“Hello everyone, Happy Birthday, BTS,” RM wrote, before humorously comparing the group’s age to a niece from a multiverse who has grown up well. “Last year’s 06/13 was really tough… but now, June 13th, 2025 is truly here. 12th anniversary… twelve years old! It’s like you’re the nephews/nieces of my multiverse. I’m glad you’ve grown up so well.” He mentioned spending the day with his family since it also happened to be his younger sibling’s birthday. “And before showering, I broke the tip of my pencil pressing too hard, writing down these strange/bizarre thoughts. Honestly, I never thought this day would come.”
As he dug deeper into his feelings, RM opened up about the weight he carries with every BTS release, every album, every comeback, every public appearance. “How dare I create like that and confidently hand out my business/name card? They say this is love.” He spoke about reading a book titled The Precision of Love, which made him think about what it means to love someone exactly and to be loved back with the same precision. “I think I’ve lived my life trying to interpret and meet your love, to receive it as precisely as I can. I’ll try to go somewhere again — somewhere unknown to me. Although I still don’t know well how many people, of what kind and where, are by my side now, I want to walk romantically with you all. Will you come with me?” he wrote.

His message grew even more emotional as he talked about wanting to continue walking this unpredictable road together with ARMY, no matter how tiring, confusing, or uncertain it gets. “All through days of fatigue and sleepless nights, through incomprehensible people and thoughts that cling like tails — I’ll push through all those obstacles once more.” He also poked fun at himself for not being able to keep his message short, saying that maybe he’s still too young and clumsy when it comes to expressing his feelings. The BTS leader ended by promising that BTS will do even better this time, thanking the fans once again, and signing out as Free Citizen Namjoon.

As June 13 arrived this year, fans flooded social media with emotional messages, fan edits, throwback videos, and heartwarming posts celebrating the group’s journey. This year’s anniversary is special since it marks the reunion of OT7. As part of the mega celebration, BTS’ agency HYBE has organized a two-day event called BTS FESTA, which will take place on June 13 and 14, headlined by a special performance by J-Hope. The venue is KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, South Korea. But fans outside can stream the digital content on social media, which will be made accessible the same day. Fans attending can immerse themselves in BTS-themed experiences, games, and even art exhibitions focused on each member’s solo journey. DIY photo card stations and a giant coloring wall inspired by BTS album covers will also be there.
