BTS' leader, RM, is renowned for his artistic inclinations and refined musical taste. As he got discharged from the military on June 10, he seamlessly blended his creative side with his intellect to craft a clever tribute to BTS' profound impact on the global music landscape.

RM shares first updates post military discharge

Kim Namjoon, aka RM, shared four lines from the song That's Life – 2008 remastered by popular traditional pop and jazz singer Frank Sinatra on his Instagram story. The lines included, "You're riding high in April, shot down in May / But I know I'm gonna change that tune."

They suggest the unpredictability of life's fortunes, where one might experience success or happiness in one moment, only to face setbacks or challenges the next.


It might be RM's way of indicating how hard his life as a military trainee was. But the BTS leader is sure to "change that tune (situation)" with resilience and determination. The following lines say, "When I'm back on top, back on top in June / I said that's life (that's life)."

The return in June is self-explanatory, as RM and the remaining BTS members are all set to return to their civilian life and reclaim their position as top K-pop stars.
