BTS members RM and Jungkook have candidly addressed past controversies, delivering heartfelt confessions that resonated deeply with fans.

The emotional moment took place during the group’s “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’” concert at Goyang Stadium, marking their long-awaited full-group return after years.

Standing before thousands of fans, RM expressed gratitude while acknowledging the changes the group has gone through.

“We’re showing many changes, but what’s important hasn’t changed,” he said. “The most important thing is that the seven of us decided to continue this together.”

He emphasized that all decisions were made thoughtfully as they entered their 30s: “We are all over 30 now. As independent individuals, we chose to keep doing this together. These are decisions we made to continue for a long time.”

RM then made a sincere appeal: “Please trust us just once. Believe in our changes and enjoy them.”

RM’s words carried extra weight due to his past remarks. In a 2025 livestream, he openly admitted that the group had seriously considered their future.

At the time, he revealed: “We wondered countless times whether it would be better to disband or pause the group.”

By bringing this up again on stage, RM showed a rare level of honesty about the internal struggles behind BTS’s continued journey.

Jungkook also took the opportunity to address his own recent controversy.

Earlier in 2026, he drew criticism after a late-night livestream where he used profanity and spoke candidly about personal habits. While some fans appreciated his honesty, others found it uncomfortable.

On stage, he reassured fans: “No matter the situation, everything I say and do for you is sincere.”

He added with determination: “I’ll work so hard for you that my body breaks. If you wait for me, I’ll come back with even better performances.”

Previously, Jungkook had already issued an apology via livestream, acknowledging that his behavior may have caused discomfort and promising to be more mindful.

As RM and Jungkook spoke, fans in the stadium responded with loud chants of “It’s okay”, showing their continued support.

The moment highlighted the unique bond between BTS and ARMY — one built not only on music, but also on honesty and mutual understanding.

Despite controversies and evolving identities, BTS made one thing clear: they are committed to continuing together.
