South Korean boy band BTS' leader RM aka Kim Namjoon is all set to celebrate his 30th birthday on September 12. To mark this special day, the BTS ARMY has resorted to the usual norms of putting up billboards across South Korea with cute pictures of the K-pop idol. However, this cafe in Seoul is taking things up a bit and has created a unique experience for those wishing to indulge on ‘Rkive Day'.

Celebrate BTS' RM's at Cafe Dam.a. in Seoul

BTS' RM speaks about focusing on solo projects

Earlier this year, RM released his solo album ‘Right Place, Wrong Person' despite being in the military. After the seven-member group comprising of Namjoon himself, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook decided to take some time off and focus on solo projects in 2022, RM said, "We have to do our role in some way for the world as a global idol, but it did not give me a time to think. I have lost the meaning of my team, and I don't know where I and my team are going anymore. I became a rap writing machine, and my role was over when I translated the rap lyrics into English. I thought my team lost the direction and wanted to take a rest, but I felt guilty to say this."

BTS' RM's military service

RM joined the military in December 2023 with Kim Taehyung aka V. The decision by BTS to enlist in the military helped avert a sticky situation for South Korea's government. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied males under 30 years old. The current system allows for some exceptions on the grounds of exceptional service to the country. Some top athletes and classical musicians have been excused on this basis, but pop artists have not.
