Special treat for fans
On Thursday, RM also took to Instagram to share several pictures from his life, which includes a photograph of him with his fashion stylist and director’s baby. He is currently completing his military training. His service will end in 2025.
“Hi. I love you, everyone! I’m 30 (Already…) On this day when even I often felt insignificant, thank you so much for sending me heartfelt congratulations. You know, it is because of you that I am able to endure well,” he began.
Giving words to his thoughts, he added, “There is a saying in the Buddha. ‘You only live on your own as a beacon’. When you’re at a loss in Hwacheon. When I get angry for no reason, I think of this word,” he added.
He admitted that there are lots of things that he wants to share, but instead used pictures to express his views.
“There are a lot of things I want to say at this moment. Today, I’m thinking of replacing it with a few pictures I post on Instagram. Like the RPWP (or the documentary-) There must be a time and a place to talk in a more beautiful and wonderful way. It’s not here right now,” the rapper said.
Giving an insight into his military training, RM shared, “My military life is now halfway through. Every time I walked 3km at Nonsan Training Center. It’s the halfway point where I was out of breath. It’s gratuitous. Snow falls and the sun changes. After the weather gets warm and cherry blossoms bloom. I’ll come back bravely next time.”
He concluded his letter by saying, “Good day, good words and good heart. Please stay healthy. I love you”.
