BTS RM's Stop The Rain addresses his depression and '27 club', rattled ARMY responds with love and loyalty

Gulf News02-05-2025
BTS RM, born Kim Nam-joon has never held back from sharing his profound reflections on life, stardom, fame and artistry. Becoming a leader of a global sensation is the heaviest crown that he has ever had to wear, and the artist has always expressed his thoughts through his lyrics.
Sometimes, rage for those who never believed in him. Sometimes, quiet introspection.
Recently, RM's collaboration with Tablo, Stop the Rain, left ARMY feeling deeply concerned. His lyrics offered a raw glimpse into his mental health, carrying strong undertones of the depression he has battled. In a particularly haunting moment, he questioned whether he, too, might become part of the '27 Club'—a reference to the artists who tragically died at the age of 27.
The rapper is currently serving his mandatory military service.
ARMY has rushed to rally around him and are determined to let him know, their unconditional support for them. 'I wish that I could give him light, the way he has always given us,' wrote one fan, sharing the video where RM had said in a concert, 'Use me to love yourself.' Another added, 'The way he turns pain into art will never stop amaze me. He always leaves a deep mark. I'm so grateful for his existence.'
Take your broken heart and turn it into art. That seems to be his motto.
One fan wrote, 'He really is truly the strongest,' sharing an older video of where RM said that he was alright, he has survived enough through ten years. One fan wrote, 'No one has been so courageous as Joon, when it comes to music.'
Other fans noted that this isn't the first time that RM had referred to such themes in his song. 'he had hinted at it in 'Magic Shop', Groin and Sea. But this is the first time that he has been so overt.'
Nevertheless, fans are determined to be of support to the BTS leader and let him know the lives he has touched with his words. The countdown has begun, the members will be back soon and can hopefully hear it in person.

Sean Kingston jailed for $1 million fraud scheme

Rapper Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison after being convicted in a million-dollar fraud scheme involving luxury goods, fake payments, and abuse of his celebrity status. Kingston, best known for hits like Beautiful Girls, Fire Burning, and Eenie Meenie, was convicted earlier this year alongside his mother, Janice Turner, in a wire fraud case that spanned multiple victims and more than $1 million in stolen goods. Federal prosecutors said Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson and his mother lured victims using the rapper's fame. They approached sellers of luxury items online, promising exposure and referrals to other celebrities in exchange for high-end products. Among the stolen items were luxury watches, designer furniture, a 232-inch LED TV, and a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade. Instead of paying, prosecutors said the pair sent fake wire transfer receipts, convincing victims they had completed the purchases. Many were never paid, though some received compensation after law enforcement became involved or legal action was taken. Kingston was arrested in 2024 in California, just before a scheduled performance at an Army base in the Mojave Desert. His mother was taken into custody during a simultaneous raid at his Fort Lauderdale home. Turner was sentenced in July to five years in prison. According to trial evidence, including text messages between the rapper and his mother, Kingston was directly involved in instructing the creation of fake payment confirmations. In one exchange, he told her, 'I told you to make [a] fake receipt.' Before his sentencing, Kingston apologised in court and said he had learned from his mistakes. His lawyer, Zeljka Bozanic, described him as a 'soft guy' who rose to fame quickly and lacked the financial maturity to manage his business affairs. Kingston is set to begin serving his sentence immediately.

BTS Not Moonwalking Into Michael Jackson Tribute Album, Says BigHit

Rumors of a BTS x Michael Jackson collaboration had ARMYs in a frenzy — but it turns out the buzz was just a beat away from the truth. BigHit Music has officially denied speculation that BTS would be featured on a Michael Jackson tribute album, putting a full stop to viral claims circulating online. The reports about BTS recording at Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland and participating in the Michael Jackson tribute album are not true, the agency clarified in a statement. They also emphasized that BTS has never recorded at the studio in question and that they're taking action to curb the spread of misinformation. 'We remain fully committed to supporting our artists,' BigHit added. The rumor mill had been spinning after fans spotted the phrase "Michael Jackson x BTS" trending online, sending social media into speculation overdrive. But now, the label's straightforward response has hit pause on the hype. BTS found their way onto the Billboard 200 recently, ranking No. 10 with their first live album Permission to Dance on Stage – LIVE. Not too shabby for a group on hiatus!
