BTS leader RM, aka Namjoon, recently held a Weverse livestream on Saturday (December 6), where he candidly talked to fans about the pressure of leading one of the world's biggest music groups. While he did not mention any names or specific situations, many fans believe his comments subtly addressed the ongoing dating rumours involving Jungkook and aespa's Winter. The live session soon sparked discussions across the fandom about the group's future and the responsibilities RM has carried for years.
During the livestream, RM shared that he sometimes feels frustrated because people still expect him to speak on behalf of all seven members. He explained that while he has always tried to protect the group, they are now individual adults with their own lives and decisions. According to fans who watched the session, RM expressed that matters related to a member's personal life should be handled directly by that person instead of the leader taking responsibility every time.
He hinted that he is aware of the ongoing controversies but can no longer respond to everything as he did before. "What I really want to say is that I can no longer represent our team on my own. That's because I'm just one person, one human being," he told fans, acknowledging emotional strain while remaining careful with his words. His calm but honest explanation left many wondering if he was indirectly referring to Jungkook's dating buzz, which has put the group under intense scrutiny recently.
RM also opened up about his personal struggles, saying he has been dealing with stress and sleepless nights again. The rapper shared that he has had to rely on sleeping pills due to the pressure he has been facing. He reportedly told fans that he has even thought about the idea of BTS disbanding several times in the past, as he constantly tries to figure out what is best for all of them. He clarified that these thoughts come from responsibility and concern, not because the members want to part ways.
His emotional confession received mixed reactions online. Many fans praised him for speaking honestly and putting his mental well-being first. However, some believed that being so open about internal pressure could hurt the group's image. Social media soon filled with both supportive and critical comments.
Despite the concerns raised, RM reassured fans during the livestream that BTS is still united. He explained that the seven members continue to stay together because of their deep connection with the fans and their shared love for the group. According to him, they remain determined to move forward as a team.
All members are expected to reunite after completing their military service, with a massive comeback and world tour planned for 2026. Stay tuned for more details!
