RM Live - 9/12

My commentary in green. If it seems like he's saying a lot of saying things twice. It's because he said some version of the same thing in Korean and English but it's faster for me to transcribe as he's speaking because he weaves in and out of both languages so often and unpredictably~ But that's why some of these lines may sound a bit repetitive.

ALREADY I CANNOT. He is vibing to the music and in such a sillypants mood and it is adorable. I cry.

Why do I wanna be sillyyy
Ah.. I like.. really wanna be silly todayyy
It's a beautiful night.... and a beautiful dayyy

HelloooOO

🎶Take Me to the River - Talking Heads
::singing along::

I got the lyrics wrong heh

Hi Everyone
When I first started out...
What is it..
I turned the subtitles to English..
I mean Korean.. I set it to Korean so I have to speak in Korean
I mean.. I'm Korean so it is what it is

Hi Everyoneee
haven't done a live in so long.. it's a little awk no?

I pierced my ear
I just pierced it not long ago so they told me not to change it to a ring
(as in, he has to keep the stud earring for a while)

Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday
I'm excited because it's my birthday
It's my birthday
(he is hyper af and i'm here for it hahaha cuuuute)

I don't have a stand so I have to hold it
(he is holding the phone in one hand)
So I'm just going to do the rest of the live like this (holding the phone)

Yea.. so I dyed my hair
Surprisingly enough - this is what it looks like dyed

Alright guys.. just to say hi and um yea just to say and um

Yes this is my work studio

Yea I worked out earlier
It rained in Korea so I worked out and didn't have any plans in particular today so I had with lunch with my parents and did some of this and that and now I'm here

Yes helloO
I don't have a stand so it's a little awk to hold it like this but is this better?
No matter how I hold it it feels awkward af

The lighting here is a bit yellowish so I can't avoid the yellowish tint

Jin hyung gave me this [ring] and the reason why I'm wearing it on my ring finger is because it only fits on my ring finger
So Jin hyung kepttt asking me if it fits on any other finger but it doesn't fit anywhere else... lemme show you

::fumbles camera to show us::

friends. it's time i come clean. i cannot be expected to keep sane when we're talking about RM's hands. they are masterpieces that know no bounds when it comes to creating worlds with a pen... and yet they know ...well nothing at all when it comes to the kitchen.... i am destroyed, saved, entertained, amused, and utterly hypnotized by RM's hands. okay back to whatever i was doing..

Jin hyung was hoping I'd wear it on my middle finger but this is what happened so..

yea... it doesn't fit

(i'm not okay)

and if i put it here ::puts it on his pointer finger::
once it goes on - i'll never be able to take it officially

(am ded)
it gets stuck on my knuckle...
oh look at that my finger is weird.. anywayy
so i had no choice but to wear it on my ring finger

thank you for wishing me a happy birthday
today a lot of my friends reached out so I really had a happy dayyy
had lunch w/ my parents and.. tbh didn't do much else

but greeting you all is the most important - so i turned on the live to say hi

yea - i just wanted to say hi
um how you guys doin? it's been a long time right?

i think i turned on the live once when i was in the states like 2 months ago?
and now i'm like yea it's been almost like 2 months

birthday cake? um
i don't know i didn't buy a birthday cake for myself so

oh my hair color?
Martin ... our CORTIS friends debuted in the recent past and earlier they came to wish me a happy birthday
And yea when I saw them in person.. our hair style is pretty similar
[Martin's] so cool and tall too

They reached out to say happy birthday and TXT's Taehyun also reached out to say happy birthday
I really love that we have more family now
because whenever we go to year-end award shows or music shows
it's always just us [[from the same company]] so it'd get a little lonely sometimes
But now that our family has grown - it's nice to be able to stay in touch with each other
Our ILLIT friends also gave me their signed CDs
I really love that our family has grown
Maybe this is why people get married and start families..cuz we need family

Again - I am 99.999% my readers/followers/mooties are not the problem. But for anyone that might see this - BTS is a group that encourages other groups and wants to see them grow and thrive. All the hardships, loneliness, alienation, cruelty, neglect they experienced as budding artists that they've overcome, they use all their hard-won wisdom and experience to lift up the next generation. So if YOU pit them against each other in the name of supporting BTS - that's a you problem. BTS would never.

In fact, when some folks that claim to be ARMY go so far as to defame, spread gossip, or hate toward other groups in the name of ARMY - I'm sure this is the biggest insult to the unblemished integrity of BTS. If you're a fan, be awesome. We don't want reckless turds in the fandom./span>

So theres..
OH.. yea i'm straight up on a diet
I eat one meal a day and I used to lose weight so quickly but now..
I lost about 30kg, I'm about ~72kg now.. I was 76kg and lost about 4kg
But as I get older, it's harder to lose weight
I work out every day, I worked out earlier too

I run almost every day or I do the stair master for 20 minutes like NO MATTER WHAT
I do that every day but it's still hard to lose weight so it's a little stressful

My chin is like on the short side so sometimes ...I look young which is good
but.. how should I say this
like looking young is good but it's hard to..
when I lose weight it doesn't show as prominently as I'd like

Don't I look skinny? But i think it's not enough .. I have to get rid of these...
::is pinching his neck::
::screeching atp::
LEAVEEEE LEAVEE MY BODYYYYYY
(...is apparently exorcising himself of his neck flub. and tbh i get it. i get it 100% loll so relatable here lmao)

Sorry.

Yea I mean thank you for congratulating guys it's been quite long
i hate to say like "please wait for a bit" - even just one more time - because I've been saying this a million times. i really hate to say "stay tuned" wait not stay tuned.. "wait for our next step" but I feel quite heavy..
you guys feel me

it's been like years that we haven't released any albums
seriously officially our comeback
oh! what's up V!
::goes back to pinching his neck and screeching, but now to V::
GET OUTTTT!! (Taehyungah, you get me right?) GET OUT OF MY BODYYYYYY

I was gonna go running w/ Taehyungssi but it was raining so much today
Taehyungssi, so like.. let's try for it again later
Maybe after the live...
I didn't do cardio yet today

not sure exactly when but some time around here V sends these messages on Weverse

Taehyungssi, where did you work out today?
V, did you work out today?
I had dinner w/ V last night in Seoul
Visited Mosu and we was able to say hi to Chef Anh Sung-jae*

Chef Anh Sung-Jae's Mosu is a restaurant in Seoul with 3 Michelin stars. He was also one of two judges for the 2024 season of the Netflix Show, Culinary Class Wars. The other judge was Paik/Baek Jong-won (you've seen this man on a handful of episodes of Run BTS and projects with Jin)

I drank a few glasses of whiskey w/ Jimin and um...
Jin hyung - I just met him at the gym and he just gave me this ring and I'm not gonna marry him

CHEST?? ::replying to V::
aghh our workout routines are so off.. I did shoulders today
You doing 2 mins? 3 mins?

If you did chest.. if we go running later your chest might hurt from all the bouncing

(am ded again. wot. chest bouncing images were put in my head by sir kim namjoon. help)

if you tackle chest and then running on the same day. lemme tell you - your chest hurts SO bad..cuz you keep bouncing..
