RM wrote, "Hi. I love you, everyone! I'm 30. (Already...) Even for myself, it's often nothing to do. On this day I felt sent me a heartfelt congratulatory message Thank you so much. Thanks to you, I'm holding up well. You know that, right? 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. 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."
RM took to Instagram and shared a picture with his squad, holding the placard that read, saeng-il chukha, which means "Happy Birthday" in Korean.
In another post, RM shared more pictures that show him with a baby, some snaps from a photo booth, with the text "Happy RM Day", a still from his new song âNeva Play', and more. He wrote in the caption, "Thirty-Ping!".
RM joined the military in December 2023 with Kim Taehyung aka V. He added, "My military life is now halfway through. Every time I walked 3km at Nonsan Training Center. It was 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. Good day, good words, and good heart. Please stay healthy. I love you."
âRM: Right People, Wrong Place', directed by Lee Seok-joon, will have its debut at October's Busan International Film Festival. According to Variety, the film "tells the story of the production of (RM's) second solo album, âRight Place, Wrong Person', which was released in May."
