“THE FUTURE WE CHASED: BTS RM Opens Up About Struggles and Hopes for 2026 Comeback”
“I’ve thought about it a lot, whether we would end up like this…” – RM gets candid about the uncertainty BTS faced.
The heart of K-pop’s biggest sensation, RM, has spoken out about the emotional rollercoaster behind BTS’ future, with a raw honesty rarely seen from the usually composed leader. In a heartfelt post shared on his personal Instagram, RM confessed that the idea of BTS disbanding has crossed his mind “countless times,” as the group prepares for their highly anticipated 2026 comeback.
As BTS embarks on a new chapter after their historic break, their return promises a seismic shift not just in the music scene, but within the hearts of their fans. But for RM, the weight of responsibility, both to his bandmates and ARMY, is an ever-present burden. “I won’t lie — there were moments I thought, ‘Is this it? Is this the end?'” RM admitted, his words carrying the weight of years spent at the pinnacle of global superstardom.
Yet, despite those moments of doubt, RM’s unwavering passion for BTS and its mission remains evident. The group’s path to 2026 has been filled with ups and downs, especially as the members took time for personal growth and military service. The future, RM acknowledges, is both uncertain and exciting. He stressed, however, that the band’s essence — their bond, their music — has always been bigger than the fear of losing it all.
“Every time I wondered if it was over, I came back to what BTS truly means — to us and to ARMY,” RM reflected. “This group wasn’t just born out of fame or success. We grew together, from unknowns to global ambassadors. That bond keeps me going.”
In the face of inevitable change, RM’s perspective on BTS’ comeback is layered with hope and anticipation. The idea of disbandment may have been a recurring thought, but it was never the end of the story. Rather, it’s the beginning of a new journey — one that continues to push the boundaries of what BTS means to the world.
“It’s not the end,” RM reassured fans, his words cutting through the uncertainty. “It’s a new beginning. We will continue to challenge ourselves, to evolve, to be better. And we want ARMY to be there with us every step of the way.”
As BTS gears up for 2026, RM’s words are a poignant reminder of the complexities behind the group’s journey. Their comeback isn’t just about the music, but about the courage to face the future — together. And with every beat, every lyric, they will write the next chapter of their legacy.
