RM, the respected leader of the global pop phenomenon BTS, has touched the hearts of millions of fans worldwide by sharing a deeply personal and emotional letter following the group’s historic anniversary concert. According to music industry reports on June 15, 2026, the global star took to the official fan community platform Weverse to express his immense gratitude shortly after wrapping up the second night of the group’s massive stadium concert series in South Korea.
An Emotional Milestone on Saturday the 13th
The high-profile stadium event, officially titled the “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN BUSAN,” held an incredibly profound meaning for the group and their dedicated fanbase, ARMY, as the second show took place on June 13, 2026—the exact calendar date marking BTS’s monumental 13th debut anniversary.
Writing to his fans late into the night after coming off the stadium stage, RM opened up about the mutual emotional support shared between the members and their followers over the last thirteen years:
“It has been quite a while since I last sat down to write a proper letter to you all. To be completely honest, I am not someone who particularly likes or heavily believes in the phrase ‘someone saving someone else.’ However, because I am fortunate enough to hear those exact words from you all from time to time, it makes me look back and realize that I, too, have ultimately been rescued by all of you.”
He continued by reflecting on his lifelong journey as a musician and lyricist: “I have spoken so many words and sent out so many sounds to the world throughout my career. While I do not know exactly which melody or which small stone managed to reach those of you standing here today, I feel that I will simply continue to be a person who throws and sends those messages out into the world. I did so thirteen years ago, and I will continue to do so in the future, as long as there are people like you who are willing to listen.”
Building Memories That Only BTS and ARMY Share
The raw letter beautifully highlighted the comfort RM finds in growing older alongside his fans. The 31-year-old artist noted how incredibly happy he feels to continuously create beautiful memories and age year by year alongside his supporters, adding that he feels truly blessed to still have a platform where he can shout out his passions to a listening audience.
Concluding his moving letter with a promise for the future, the BTS leader wrote:
“Time and time again, I see my true self reflected clearly through all of you. I wonder if the same thing happens to you when you look at me. Thank you all once again for spending such a precious anniversary right by our sides. Today is Saturday the 13th, and it is a truly wonderful day. No matter what anyone else says about what this day means, I want to continue stacking up days to celebrate and building memories tucked inside our hearts that only we know about. I ask for your continued support moving forward. I love you.”
The ARIRANG tour in Busan marks a massive milestone for the group as they continue their legendary run as global music icons. With stadiums completely packed out to the roof for both nights, the historic weekend safely proved that even thirteen years into their career, the bond between BTS and ARMY remains completely unbreakable.
