Jun 12, 2023

BTS’s RM has shared a sweet post in celebration of the group’s 10th debut anniversary!

On June 13, BTS rang in their 10th debut anniversary and RM commemorated the occasion with a series of meaningful photos. The first photo reads “10th anniversary congrats congrats” in RM’s handwriting, followed by a sweet handwritten note. The post also includes an old photobooth strip of BTS that was first uploaded in 2013, stage photos of BTS at their first fan meeting in 2014 and at their concert, as well as a cute selfie.

Read RM’s letter below:

"They say rivers and mountains change in ten years..and it’s true.
There have been endless new waves reaching new heights. There are so many late nights that I do not remember.
Myself at 20 and 30 feel like completely different people. Now, my past self feels more unfamiliar.
It is quite special to feel enchanted by certain words.
For a noun to become a pronoun. For bulletproof to become BTS, for army to become [BTS’s fan club] ARMY..
There was a lot of rain, wind, and love. We’ve built our own world that we may not make anyone else understand.
Thanks to ARMY and the many people who helped us
We’ve had very special experiences that we can never experience again.
Looking back, even if I was momentarily soaked in reminiscence, I was used to kicking down doors and stepping out without rest.
Even now, I am still taking a guess at our second chapter. I feel like we can become anything.
The worries and ambivalence I had at 17 and 20 years old are still valid now.
As I gradually become an adult
I learned that in the world, there are many things that cannot be explained through words and writing,
And that things you thought would never change, change someday too.
Also, that the birth of one ‘name’
Needs the strength and love of so many people.
I am still incredibly immature.
In the future too, I will likely continue to be unfamiliar, nervous, and in distress.
But I will still move forward.
Apart and together, far but close, I have you all,
And I hope you all have me.
My members, staff, family, and friends! And ARMY! You’ve worked so hard.
Let’s live together well for the next 10 years too. In this bad world!
I love you.

2023. June. 12.
Nam June"

RM’s photobooth picture was first shared in September 2013 with the tweet reading “Kim hundred thousand!!! Wow!!! Here!! Is the person who saw seven boys wearing dark clothes and asked if we were celebrities seeing this!!”

Happy 10th anniversary to BTS!
