On the 28th of this month, global fans were seemingly flooded with notifications as two surprise livestreams from SUGA and RM took place on the same day. It had been over two years since SUGA’s last livestream, and fans had long been waiting for his official reappearance, making his broadcast truly ѕнσ¢кing and deeply emotional.

Even RM, who went live shortly after SUGA, couldn’t hide his excitement and exclaimed, “Ah, Yoongi hyung went live too? Yoongi hyung? Damn… that’s cool.”

Meanwhile, RM delivered a warm, Christmas-like atmosphere, resembling a relaxed year-end conversation between close friends. He explained his reason for going live, saying: “The thing is, when you live alone in a big house, it gets lonely and empty. And I missed you guys, plus I wanted to show you the house while we’re at it too—that’s why I turned this live on.”

He continued by sharing his current mindset: “My goal in my life right now is to stay healthy and go meet you guys. That’s it—just that!” Then, after a brief moment of contemplation, RM naturally expanded the conversation from living alone to thoughts about marriage, confessing: “In кσяєαn age, I’m turning 33 next year—but I know I’m 31. But man… marriage, ∂αми, it makes me really complicated. Like, I don’t know. Life is so long, and I’m too lonely, and you know… I don’t know. Marriage… maybe someday.”

After all, no one truly wants to be alone in this world, right? Even if you are a celebrity, the CEO of a major company, or even a president, there is always a longing deep in one’s heart for companionship and the warmth of family. For this reason, BTS as a group—and RM in particular—have never denied the idea of having their own families someday, with a spouse and children.

However, there is a reality that even global superstars face, just like many young people today: marriage is not easy!

During a livestream in October of this year, RM reflected on the topic once again, saying: “If I get married too early, people might be sad. If I find the right person now, I’ll get married, but at this point, I might end up not getting married at all. I don’t know; there really isn’t a clear answer. When my parents were my age, they were already married and had a three-year-old child. Nowadays, that’s not so easy.”

Meanwhile, while appearing on an episode of “Dictionary of Useless Knowledge,” RM pointed out that people of his generation—those born in the 1990s—often harbor doubts about the institution of marriage. He admitted that he couldn’t stop questioning the possibility of marriage and starting a family, saying: “Would that happen in my life? I used to think it was a natural process, but a few years ago, I started to wonder, ‘Maybe I won’t get married?’ Once I started thinking about it, I couldn’t stop myself.”

Even so, marriage has remained a recurring subject in RM’s thoughts in recent years, especially after entering his 30s. In Western countries, age and marriage are not strongly linked, but in most Asian societies, early marriage is still widely encouraged. Turning 30—or being over 30, like RM—is often regarded as a “critical age” for marriage. Even Jin and SUGA have previously shared that nearly all of their friends around them are already married. In such an environment, it becomes almost inevitable for the mind to circle back repeatedly to questions about marriage.

Above all, however, RM remains level-headed enough not to be swept away by societal pressure. He once concluded: “It seems like everyone is being chased by the idea of marriage. Especially women—it feels like society and the media put pressure on them regarding children and various other issues, but I hope they can live in their own way. I don’t think there’s a right answer. In the end, if you can’t endure being alone, I wonder if getting married will really make things better. Wouldn’t you still want to be alone even after getting married? Choosing marriage as a way to escape loneliness seems a bit wrong.”

After listening to RM’s honest reflections on the topic, fans also shared their own thoughts and emotions, commenting:

- Yes. They need to get married so we can have that nursery rhyme produced by Yoongi and performed by J-Hope. For Namjoon's kids

- The thing is, marriage doesn’t cure loneliness. I think he’s just in a confusing phase of life right now and I think he’ll feel better once they start promoting, etc.

- Oh My Goddd!!! He's being open about the "relationship" topic in front of us, which shows how much we mean to him and how much he trusts us

- He's so relatable like d*mn me having this conversation with myself at least once a month 

- Joon, live as you want because marriage is not a guarantee of happiness or security, you can also be lonely in marriage

- The way this marriage thing scares joonie, we understand your fears bro, they are super valid

- Aren't we from the groom's side when that day comes. We will be cheering and wishing for you and your partner Joonie

- I’m so happy that he felt comfortable being this open with us especially on the topic of relationship, the world is changing

- I just want them to marry someone who loves their soul and not only fame...that's it...I am happy whenever they get married
