RM's solo journey: Pop star's alternative heart exposed

RM, the leader of BTS, discusses the inherent contradiction between his alternative music tastes and his role in a globally popular pop group. He reveals that this duality fuels his artistic expression, particularly on solo projects like 'Indigo' and 'Right Place, Wrong Person,' where he can explore edgier sounds and collaborate with artists like JPEGMafia and Flume.

Reflecting on his experiences, RM shared that his military service was psychologically difficult, describing it as hitting rock bottom. However, he views this period as a form of self-therapy that ultimately helped him. He notes that eight months after completing service, he is sleeping well and feeling good, a significant improvement from that challenging time.

Despite the pressures and his past struggles, RM asserts that he is focused on living in the present moment. He finds simple joys in activities like walking, listening to music, and spending time with friends, finding life inherently fun and living to be a worthwhile experience, regardless of his fame.
