Following the discharge, RM also did a solo live where he chatted to fans.

During the broadcast, RM was brutally honest about his experience, sharing that amid issues with HYBE, he had major insomnia, which was seemingly made worse by the conditions he was staying in, as he recalled what it was like rooming with 20 other soldiers.

Last year, the company went through a lot of things, and around April and May, before ‘RPWP’ came out, I was struck with insomnia. The thing is, in the military, you’re sleeping with 20 other guys. They’re sleeping right next to you, snoring and grinding their teeth. So… There was a time when I did not get a single minute of sleep for two days, for about 78 hours. That was toward the end of April. I mean, there were a lot of things happening outside the base. I remember thinking to myself, ‘Oh, I’m going to die at this rate.’ Like, I have to keep going with the daily schedule, but I’m running on no sleep. I’d be lying down and—those of you who have insomnia know what I’m talking about. I’m tired but I just can’t fall asleep.

RM also shared the impact his feelings in the military had, asking himself why he was so “weak” because of how he was feeling, adding that he kept thinking that he’d been through worse and more challenging times.

Not that I’ve ever had it easy because I was born a bit sensitive. Yeah, I’ve accepted it. I’ve accepted the fact that I’m sensitive. While in the military, I kept asking myself, ‘Why are you so weak? Is this all you got? You’ve been through more challenging times already. So why… Why do you keep losing to things like sleep… Or the military…? You have to do better. You used to be so optimistic. You were Mr. Why Not?’ It was a way for me to try to hype myself up, but it doesn’t really work when you’re in the army. But I’m going to come around.

RM even explained how it’s still impacting him now.

When the clips were posted, netizens shared their sympathy for RM but also anger at the conditions he had to go through, whether it was solely because of the military or links to the issues happening at HYBE, which were seemingly around the same time as the issues with ADOR and Min Hee Jin.
