BTS leader RM, who is known not only for his genius musical talent but also intellectual and comforting words, recently did a livestream on Weverse where he talked about several life topics. From marriage, its effects on women, parenthood and more societal pressures that the youth face in South Korea. Read on to know more about what the BTS member said.
BTS RM On Society, Marriage And Kids
Kim Namjoon, also known as BTS RM, held a Weverse livestream on October 5 where he candidly spoke to his ARMYs. The K-pop idol discussed several heavyweight topics and addressed taboo topics. RM first talked about marriage and the relentless pressure that women face. “Especially for women, I feel like society and the media keep pressuring them about things like having kids and other expectations,” he said. The rapper continued by saying, “We’re all being pressured, but I just hope everyone can live life in their own way. I don’t think there’s a right answer.”
RM then thought aloud by questioning whether marriage is really the solution that others make it out to be. “If someone can’t handle being alone, would getting married even make things any better? Because even after marriage, you might want to be alone,” said RM. Namjoon also gave his insights on what qualities one should possess to be in a happy marriage: “If you’re already good at being alone, you will probably thrive in relationships. But if you’re banking on marriage to fix loneliness? That’s a whole other mess.”
