BTS members RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook have begun taking steps to fulfill their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. Following Jin, j-hope and SUGA who are currently serving in the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷, all the remaining members have almost decided to enlist together, which is understood to be an effort to ease BTS's 'm̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ period' as much as possible.
However, for fans, this is still a difficult time after witnessing so many activities of the members in an effort to reduce the gap of members who had previously enlisted. Similar to the fans, the members in general and RM in particular understand that the time of enlistment was clearly difficult for all of them.
But more than fear, RM sent a meaningful message to RM in the hope that ARMYs will join BTS through this most difficult time:
These days, ARMYs have been mentally preparing for BTS members' enlistment announcements, but they didn't expect it to come so soon. As soon as Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music posted the announcement that all four members of the group decided to enlist at the same time, fans were surprised and expressed their sadness on SNS.
Previously, ARMYs temporarily bid farewell to three members of the group, Jin, j-hope and SUGA. Now they continue to not see RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook again for about 18 months. It's really υиєχρє¢тє∂ news at all, but fans also understand that their decision is to carry out their reunion plan in 2025 as expected.
Facing this difficult time for ARMYs, RM also understands the feelings of his fans. Therefore, he found many ways to comfort them with the sophistication and mature thinking of a leader who has led BTS and the fandom for the past decade. In particular, it is clearly shown through his personal Instagram post.
A few hours ago, RM posted a video recorded from the famous movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. In that scene is a dialogue between the two main characters Evelyn Wang and Waymond. Waymond told Evelyn Wang during the most difficult moment for both of them: "The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on. I know you see yourself as a ḟïġḧẗer. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I ḟïġḧẗ". And it seems that is also what RM wants to send to his beloved fans.
Obviously, RM is not directly addressing his and his fans' situations right now but the context and quotes in the movie show that there are similarities. For RM, the best guideline to get through this difficult time is "Be kind" and both he and his fans are true warriors. We will ḟïġḧẗ together for a future where there will be no more separation.
RM is truly a true spiritual leader not only of BTS but also of ARMYs. Fans were shaken by RM's actions:
- I know he knows what’s going on. That clip is so specific.
- And yes, Joon knows to ḟïġḧẗ back with kindness. Cla̾s̾s act.
- He knows what is going on, my heart breaks for them actually
