Since June this year, Big Hit and BTS have officially announced that BTS will temporarily focus on personal activities instead of group activities. After that, a series of personal projects including the production of members' albums were also promoted.
The solo activities of members are also thought to be closely related to the performance of the group's military service. Therefore, every time it comes to solo activities, ARMYS will think about the member preparing to enlist.
But recently, a member of BTS even revealed that he was preparing to produce another album after releasing a solo album before enlisting. Can you guess who it is?
Up to now, 3/7 members of BTS released solo album including j-hope, Jin and RM. All 3 have had certain success in the role of a solo artist.
More specifically, the solo albums of the 3 members clearly show the colors and meaning of music typical of each member. They also achieved high achievements on music charts.
In addition, ARMYS also speculated that in addition to Jin, j-hope and RM released solo albums were also prepared for their upcoming enlistment plan. However, it was quite surprising that one of them had just promoted the new album this year but continued to compose an other solo album before enlisting.
It was the one who just launched Indigo a few days ago: RM. This was mentioned many times when he attended the Suchwita show with SUGA, in the concert with 200 lucky ARMYs and when livening on Weverse Live. It seems that RM did not spend any time after releasing Indigo to search for materials and inspire his new album next.
First, RM mentioned this was when he recorded SUGA's Suchwita. He said that he was preparing for a new album after the Indigo to match his enlistment time. However, he did not know when he was released because it was difficult to say what happened in the future.
Next, he once again repeated it when sharing with 200 lucky ARMYs in an intimate concert introduced Indigo. He seemed to have a little determining the time he would launch this product before enlisting. RM also said that he was starting to work very hard to prepare for it.
Finally, RM continued to assert his second album before enlisting. He said he isn't exactly sure of the date, it could be after his enlistment (to fill his space till he returns). Maybe beginning, mid, end (he doesn't know when exactly) but he's planning on releasing one by then.
Specifically, RM said in Weverse Live: "It's almost time for Suchwita.. I spoke about this at the Indigo performance too, that I'm currently working on the next album after Indigo.
I'm not sure when it will be out, maybe around the time of my enlistment, though I don't know when exactly it is... It will be released somewhere around that time period, maybe in the first half (of enlistment) or later."
This announcement of RM surprised ARMYS because of his hard work. Not only that, the fact that RM prepares many content for ARMYS before or while he enlisted also touched them:
- The only thing I want is for them to be safe and healthy. If they are happy, I'm happy too. I don't care if they don't release anything while they are enlisted, I can wait, but they need to be protected and safe. Just this.
- He’s found his passion for music again. This break has been so good for him.
- And when that album will be released , we will ultimately know that its our time to say goodbye to our comfort person for 2 years . He will gift that album to us to live on our own for 2 years
