BTS The RM leader turned on a widespread discussion after sharing his candid perspective on marriage and raising his children during a recent live streaming in Weverse. His words resounded deeply with fans and Netizen Koreans, quickly becoming viral and gaining admiration for his maturity and honesty.
RM has openly spoke of the social and cultural pressure surrounding marriage, in particular the heavy expectations often placed on women. He expressed concern about the fact that many people feel pushed into marriage due to the social rules and the influence of the media rather than their desires. “I just wish people could live at their own rhythm”, He said, adding that there is no universal “right response” when it comes to life choices.
The rapper also reflected on the connection between solitude and marriage, asking if you are wise to separate simply to avoid solitude. “If someone struggles with being alone, the marriage will not magically solve it. Even when you are married, there are times when you want to be alone. This is human nature.”
As for children, RM admitted to finding the overwhelming idea. He explained that sometimes he fights only to take care of himself and concerns about the unpredictability of growing a child with his own personality and challenges. “When I think about how many problems I gave to my parents, I can’t help but imagine having a child like me. Of course, I would like it, but it would not be easy.”
RM concluded by stressing that both married people and unmarried speak only from their experiences and no perspective is absolute. He suggested that his generation, in particular those born in the 90s, is the first in Korea to see marriage widely as a choice rather than an obligation.
The Netizen quickly praised his sincerity, with some even that they suggest that he should apply for the president in the future. Comments included:
- “Talk to such maturity. A true leader.”
- “The marriage just to avoid loneliness is dangerous and explained it perfectly.”
- “Taking care of myself is already quite difficult, what he said is so recognizable.”
Pondarate observations of RM have strengthened his reputation not only as a musician, but also as a voice of reason and reflection in Korean society.
