AFP-Yonhap<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">RM of global K-pop group BTS has continued to speak candidly about his feelings toward the group\u2019s agency, HYBE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">On Sunday, BTS \u2014 RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook \u2014 held a live broadcast via a fan platform.

I\u2019m not planning to buy a car, but I wanted to overcome a kind of trauma.\u201d Talk of a comeback also surfaced, fueling expectations for the group\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">As discussions turned to their return as a full group, RM expressed strong determination for the future, saying, \u201cLet\u2019s make 2026 the year of BTS.\u201d Jin responded by saying, \u201cThe company does work hard for us,\u201d but RM offered a more conflicted view. \u201cI\u2019m not sure,\u201d he said. \u201cI wish they would take a little better care of us and be more nurturing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">RM went on to add, \u201cI really wish our company showed us more affection,\u201d prompting laughter from the other members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">BTS completed their mandatory military service in June following Suga\u2019s discharge, drawing significant attention at home and abroad to the group\u2019s anticipated full-group comeback next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">RM has previously hinted at discomfort with the agency during earlier livestreams. At the time, he said, \u201cI want to come back quickly. I\u2019m going crazy. I wish HYBE would announce something soon,\u201d directly expressing frustration toward the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">He has also spoken openly about having considered disbandment or a hiatus, saying, \u201cThe reason we keep going as a team is because there is love among us, and love and respect for our fans.\u201d RM added that the group\u2019s period of inactivity was not entirely his choice, saying, \u201cThere was a reason we decided not to promote in the second half of the year, but I can\u2019t talk about it,\u201d while sharing his emotional burdens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">This article from the Hankook Ilbo, the sister publication of The Korea Times, is translated by a generative AI system and edited by The Korea Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RM, member of K-pop boy band BTS, speaks during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit at Gyeongju Arts&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":{"0":"post-364160","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
