RM said, "Our music at that time was very popular with our fans, but the trend changed quickly, and I realized that my perception of music changed quite a bit. "and" Permission to Dance " will become obsolete as time goes on?"

He continued, "Because we live by trends, but I don't think we should. I'm not sure what to do, but I wanted to produce something that's 'lasting' and 'timeless.' Now that it's been almost 9 years since I debuted as a member of BTS, I've started to think about that a lot."

Regarding how he has changed as a songwriter, RM shared, "In the past, I used to have a lot of rules in my head, like 'You need to do this or that' and I was caught up in the idea of wanting to show off something great, such as a dramatic technique.

These days, I focus on trying to create a certain texture that I want to convey in an abstract way. I have developed the ability to think in multi-sensory dimensions, such as visual or tactile. When you make music, there are different elements like lyrics, melody, rhythm, and voice, and my approach is to look at the totality of all of these to see if they can be. Does it show what I originally wanted to convey?

In recent years, BTS' influence around the world has extended beyond music, with the members attending the United Nations General Assembly and even being appointed special envoys of the President. Korea earlier this year.

"What's certain is that this role isn't something we landed on because we were looking for it, and it's not something that disappears just because you want to. I think it's my destiny to accept it and do it. If I had to put it into words, I'd say I want to live my life while thinking, This life is fun too."

RM also talked about his love for visual arts, especially painting, and explained that he would love to be immersed in a completely different field. "I can be honest about my feelings when it comes to visual arts," he revealed. "Because with music, it's hard if you start to feel jealous of other musicians. There are so many great musicians, and there are always loads of new artists."

Opening up about his interest in his career, RM continued, "And painters have such long careers. There are artists who hold their first exhibition at the age of 40, and there are artists who don't sell a single work until they're 60. But I debuted at 20 and I was told that I represented the country at 28 and I was questioned about the next step. What's yours?"

Regarding his philosophy of life, RM commented, "Some people say that focusing on the present is more important than your dreams. They are right and I understand that. Society forces people to have it. Dreams are not good, but dreams are also important. I hope that many people still hold that deep in their hearts who believe in hard work and hope."

"I'm struggling too," he continued. "The expectations others and myself have for me are too high. Even if I work in a completely different field in the future, people will expect me to achieve something, and I have may not meet those expectations".

Finally, RM ended his interview with an inspirational summary of his goals as an artist. "I believe everyone is born for a reason," he said. "I hope that everything I do leaves something meaningful."
