"It's my official role to represent BTS to the world, and it's been a chance for me to mature as a person, but behind the scenes, I'm just one of seven members, and I'm inspired by the others all the time."
RM"It is in our genes that we think of breaking up when we love and of failure and fall when we succeed."
RM"We're on some path that's set since we're born, but I still believe we can change some things. So I believe in my faith, but I still don't believe in my fate."
RM"In Korean, the word 'future' is made up of two parts. The first part means 'not,' and the second means 'to come.' In that sense, 'future' means something that will not come. This is to say the future is now, and our now is us living our future."
RM"If you want to love others, I think you should love yourself first."
RM"Music transcends language. BTS communicates with our fans by staying true to ourselves and believing in music every day."
RM"My grades put me in about 5,000th place in all of South Korea. If I kept going down that path, I would've become a successful man with a regular job. However, I was positive I'd be number one in the country as a rapper. So I asked my mother whether she wanted to have a son who was a first-place rapper, or a 5,000th-place student."
RM"We're trying to say that if you, in love, when you're not true to yourself, the love won't last. Because love is complex, and we always have the dark sides and the sad sides."
RM"I taught myself English. My English teacher was the sitcom 'Friends.' Back in the days when I was, like, 15, 14, it was like a syndrome for Korean parents to make their kids watch 'Friends.' I thought I was a victim at that time, but now I'm the lucky one."
