RM, a member of the group BTS (BTS), was injured during rehearsals for the performance.
The agency Big Hit Music said on the 20th, "RM suffered an ankle injury during rehearsals on the 19th and moved to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment, and gave a leg cast along with the diagnosis of 'periodic sprain and partial ligament rupture and megalomaniac injury (inflammation)."
"We received the opinion of medical staff that they should focus on recovery by minimizing movement for at least two weeks," he said. "We decided to minimize movement at Gwanghwamun performance to prioritize the medical staff's findings and prevent deterioration of the injured area."
As a result, RM will limit some performances, including choreography on stage.
Big Hit Music said, "Although there is a limit to the performance, RM wants to participate in the stage and work with ARMY (fandom name) and the audience to the extent possible. As you've been waiting for this stage for a long time, I'll do my best to show you a sincere stage," he said.
Meanwhile, BTS will release its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" on the same day and begin its comeback activities. On the 21st, the day after the release, BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG will be held and performed at Gwanghwamun Square. The show will be broadcast live worldwide on Netflix.
Hello.
It's Big Hit Music.
Regarding 'BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG)' scheduled for March 21, we will inform you about the form of BTS member RM's participation in the performance.
RM suffered an ankle injury during rehearsals for the performance on March 19 and was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. As a result of the examination, medical staff found that they should focus on recovery by minimizing movement for at least two weeks after a leg cast, along with the diagnosis of "periodic sprain and partial ligament rupture and humerus injury (inflammation of the ligament).
The artist himself was very determined to create a high-quality performance as it was a comeback stage in a symbolic space called Gwanghwamun, but we decided to minimize RM's movement in "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" to consider the opinions of medical staff as the top priority and prevent the deterioration of the injury.
Accordingly, RM informs you that some performances, such as choreography on stage, are limited.
We ask for your understanding that we are sorry for the fans and the audience who have been waiting for this performance.
Although the performance is limited, RM wants to participate in the stage and work with ARMY and the audience to the extent possible. As much as you've been waiting for this performance for a long time, we'll do our best to show you a sincere performance.
We prioritize the health and safety of artists, and we will spare no support for RM to return to full form through sufficient recovery.
Also, the BTS members are also preparing for the performance as best as possible, so please show a lot of support and interest.
Thank you.
