BTS’ RM receives blessings and guidance from monk at temple; reacts to media coverage and invasion of privacy

South Korean pop group BTS’ leader RM visited the Hwaeomsa temple on December 29 along with music producer Kang San. According to Allkpop, the two visited the temple via public transportation and sat down with Monk Deokmun to talk about his inner thoughts and relax in the woods, a temple official said.

When the monk asked whether it upset him that the group members weren’t exempted from their military duties, the leader answered, “We want to fulfill our duties to serve our country. Only then, can we talk about our rights. I will take the chance to become a grown-up.”

The monk went on to advice RM saying, “A year and a half (in the military) in a person’s 80-year life is not a waste, but it will be precious time when you can self-reflect. I hope that you can become BTS’ RM, who makes great music even if you get old with gray hair.”

“As much as BTS is loved by people around the world, I hope you can actively contribute and convey the message of mercy and love through your music,” the monk added. “I hope you don’t become a fleeting presence that appears and disappears at some point, but instead become a true musician who elevates music to its highest potential.”

RM also gifted the chief monk his first solo album Indigo. As per the report, BTS has donated 500 bags yearly to Good World Charity Bank, a children’s relief organization headed by Monk Deok Mun.

Following the reports of RM visiting the monk, RM took to his Instagram Stories reacting to the media coverage and uploaded a screenshot of one article where wrote, “I was grateful for the time spent there, but didn’t expect an article about it…”

In the next two stories, the singer-rapper wrote, “Next time, I’ll make a quiet visit to a different temple”, before posting a hashtag: “#lowkeymustbelowkey”. Meanwhile, RM has since deleted his own posts of the Hwaeomsa Temple.
