BTS leader RM has clarified his previous message asking fans to stop gathering outside the group’s hotel, emphasizing that his concerns were not directed at Peru or Latin America specifically. During BTS’ visit to Lima, Peru, the rapper addressed the situation again, expressing gratitude to Peruvian ARMY while calling for mutual respect, understanding, and unity within the fandom.

BTS has officially entered the South American leg of its massive ARIRANG World Tour, bringing the group to Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil throughout October. The Latin American run marks another major chapter in the group’s global tour, but as excitement surrounding the concerts continues to grow, RM has also made an emotional request to fans, please give BTS and their staff privacy and enough space to rest.

There are some BTS songs that feel different when you hear them years after they were written. For RM, “Tear” and “00:00 (Zero O’ Clock)” are two of those songs. During BTS’s ARIRANG World Tour stop in Toronto, RM shared a deeply personal reflection about the emotional state he was in when he worked on the two tracks.
