RM Turns 32, Tells Fans He's 'About to Start Writing Music Again'

September 12, 2026 — BTS leader RM celebrated his 32nd birthday with a low-key gathering alongside bandmates, sharing Instagram photos of cake-cutting (including a Hello Kitty-themed cake) and a playful shot hugging a large Pikachu plush. Jin, Jungkook and V posted birthday messages that RM reposted; Jin's read simply 'Congratulations.' During an online birthday stream with fans the same day, RM said he is preparing to resume songwriting after the ARIRANG era: 'I'm just about to start writing music again, I don't know where to start. But I think it's about time,' adding he hopes to 'meet you all as many as I can, every continent, every places.'
