BTS' 12th Anniversary: RM aka Kim Namjoon pens emotional letter for ARMYs, says 'I truly didn't this day would come'
BTS leader RM, also known as Kim Namjoon, is back and his heartfelt words on the group's 12th anniversary (June 13) are already resonating deeply with ARMY. Fresh off his military discharge on June 10, Namjoon shared a touching handwritten letter on Weverse just minutes after the clock struck midnight in South Korea, reflecting on the group's journey, his personal growth, and the long-awaited reunion just around the corner. Happy birthday, BTS: RM gets candid in new note RM began his letter with a warm 'Happy birthday, BTS,' acknowledging the emotional weight of June 13—also known as BTS' debut anniversary. 'Somehow, 613 has come around again,' he wrote. 'Last year's 613 was really not easy, and now 250613 has arrived. I have truly been waiting more than any of you.' The phrase '250613,' symbolizing June 13, 2025, marked a bittersweet full-circle moment—12 years since BTS first debuted. With a mix of humour and sentiment, he likened the group turning 12 to 'a nephew in my multiverse,' adding, 'I'm so glad you've grown up so well.' Sharing that June 13 also happens to be his younger sibling's birthday, RM revealed he spent time with family before sitting down to pen the letter, pressing hard enough to 'break the pencil lead.' A time to look back and ahead He referenced a book titled An Experiment in Accurate Love, reflecting on the challenge of giving and receiving love in a sincere and meaningful way—something he feels deeply with ARMY but continues to question. 'To be loved accurately and to love accurately. That seemingly impossible task, I've always wanted to achieve it.' The journey continues with you by his side The letter closes with RM inviting fans to continue walking this journey with him. 'Once again, I'm going to try to go somewhere, though I don't know where… I want to walk together with romance. Will you join me?' He poetically described moving forward like 'Huckleberry Finn,' pushing through exhaustion, insomnia, and confusion—all made bearable thanks to the fans. 'Thanks to you, I endured, and thanks to you, I stubbornly walked on.' Namjoon ended with a humble acknowledgment of his own flaws and gratitude: 'Becoming talkative is also a sign of clumsy love, so please look upon it kindly… We will truly try to do better once more. Thank you for giving us the opportunity. And I love you.' BTS reunion just days away RM's letter comes at a poignant time. With Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook, and RM all officially discharged, the only member still completing service is SUGA, whose discharge is scheduled for June 21. The full group reunion—something fans have waited nearly three years for—will finally become reality. As BTS prepares for its long-anticipated comeback, RM's words serve as both a love letter and a quiet promise: no matter how unclear the road ahead may seem, they're ready to walk it again—with ARMY right beside them.
