Overview
- During a Dec. 21 Weverse livestream with all seven members, RM said he wished the company would show BTS more care, while Jin responded that the company works hard for them.
- RM has repeatedly voiced frustration about the lack of a confirmed comeback date and urged that 2026 be “the year of BTS,” noting the group’s performance hiatus has topped three years.
- On Dec. 24, RM posted a reflective message on X about self-blame and self-kindness alongside subdued selfies, prompting concern and support from fans.
- An industry official told The Korea Herald that airing such frustrations publicly can serve as leverage to press for a quicker comeback announcement.
- Former BigHit director Elly Chae framed RM’s remark as evidence of broader internal issues at HYBE, a claim amplified online but challenged by many fans; no formal corporate response or comeback date was reported.
