Amidst this, RM addressed fans, saying, "Many people ask why we 'wasted' the second half of 2025 and did nothing," adding, "We didn't want to waste time, and I wanted to engage in various activities after my discharge, but there were reasons I couldn't disclose."
He continued, "Our last concert was in October 2022, so it's been over three years. We want to perform immediately, but it requires a lot of preparation and personal pressure. We can't easily make a comeback until we can present something satisfying to our fans, considering the scale and various situations. It might sound like an excuse, but we ask for your understanding and promise to do our best."
RM also emphasized, "I've thought countless times about whether it's better to disband or pause activities, but the reason we continue as a team is because of the love among the members and respect for our fans."
