In a heartwarming moment that has left a lasting impression on fans, a young girl named Sangsanggi from India achieved a dream come true nearly a decade ago when her heartfelt letter was read aloud by RM, the leader of the globally popular K-pop group BTS, during a live performance. This poignant exchange took place in 2015 on the music show Simply K-Pop, where BTS delivered an electrifying rendition of their hit song “DOPE.”
As the group’s leader, RM wore the dual hat of performer and host. During the show, he read letters from fans expressing their admiration for both the group and the program. Sangsanggi’s letter stood out as she shared her enthusiasm for BTS and the show, capturing the essence of a devoted ARMY member. RM’s sweet response, “You make my heart melt baby, Thank you so much Sangsangii and I love you too,” resonated deeply with fans, particularly those in India, marking a cherished moment of connection with the artist.
This incident took place during the early stages of BTS’s journey in the K-pop industry, when every fan interaction held significant value for the group. RM’s touching acknowledgment served as a reminder of the band’s gratitude towards their supporters, further solidifying their bond with their fanbase.
Fast forward to the present, RM is currently serving his mandatory military enlistment, which he began in December 2023, and is expected to complete in June 2025. Other members, including Jimin, V, and Jungkook, will also exit the military around the same time, while SUGA is projected to return in March. Jin and J-Hope have already fulfilled their service commitments.
On the solo front, RM made headlines with the release of his sophomore studio album, “Right Place, Wrong Person,” in July, which was met with global acclaim. The album’s title track, “LOST!,” has performed exceptionally well on international music charts, further cementing RM’s reputation as an accomplished solo artist.
Looking ahead, fans can anticipate the premiere of his documentary titled “Right People, Wrong Place” in December, which will delve into his experiences surrounding the creation of his second solo album. The film promises to illuminate RM’s creative process and artistic journey since his debut as a solo artist, adding yet another chapter to his ongoing story in music.
