As the excitement settled down after his performance with Suga, RM began to share his thoughts, clearly aware of the burning questions on everyone’s mind.

Noting the special occasion, RM started with praise toward his bandmate Suga and shared how happy he was to join the rapper on stage.

First of all, the fact that I can join SUGA on his final show is such an honor. Are you happy for him as well?

The crowd responded with an ecstatic wave of cheering. Yet, as RM continued, it became clear that he wasn’t just there for a simple reunion or a quick performance.

He wanted to address the rumors head-on, particularly those revolving around his fresh haircut, which many had taken as a signal for his imminent enlistment.ย “I wanted to talk about my hair,” RM playfully noted.

I’m getting a lot of calls related to my hairstyle. It doesn’t have anything to do with joining the army. Just know that I’m not enlisting anytime soon.

The leader then went on to explain that the reason behind his new haircut was simply the sweltering summer heat.

I was just getting really hot and so I decided to cut it.

And what a gift it was! Instead of tracks from his existing album, RM announced the commencement of an entirely new project with a new team.

Many of you might be expecting some songs of mine, but out of my album. I started a new project with new people so this is a song in the works.

Despite everything, for now, ARMYs can look forward to RM’s upcoming project.ย  As the night ended and the lights faded, the message was clear: the bond between BTS and ARMY is unbreakable.
