BTS's RM Pens Touching Letter To Fans On His Birthday

Sep 12, 2019

BTS’s RM wrote a letter to fans.

On September 12, the BTS leader celebrated his 25th birthday (by Korean reckoning) and fans and fellow members expressed their love for him. Before the end of his birthday, RM posted a photo of a handwritten letter during his vacation to thank fans for their love and support.

The full letter is below:

Dear ARMY,

Are you well in this rainy, late summer?

To be honest, I can’t really remember my birthdays before my 20s. Looking back, they were a bit special and a bit plain. I’ve felt this even more after realizing that a birthday isn’t a day for me to be congratulated, but a day where I should feel grateful to my parents who gave birth to me. It’s already the seventh time I’m receiving an overwhelming amount of messages on September 12, which used to be a simple day for me.

Shakespeare said, ‘We are advertised by our loving friends.’ I realized once again that the person I am today is someone who has become known through all of you who I love, and someone who has become much more special. I once again hope I can become someone who can let others know about all of you through love and trivial truths, and as I’ve always said, I hope my feelings that can’t be expressed through words can reach even just one more person.

I couldn’t dare to say that I have witnessed all of the love that poured out today, but I’ll gratefully receive it through this short letter. I hope we can be happier for even just another hour. I love you.

Namjoon.
