Boy group BTS (BTS) RM took the stage amid his injury.
At 8 p.m. on the 21st, BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) held a performance "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" at Gwanghwamun Square to commemorate the release of its fifth studio album "ARIRANG".
On this day, Jimin said during the stage, "Thank you to ARMY (fandom name) for filling Gwanghwamun Gate like this. I would also like to thank many of you for helping me do live in such a special place, he said. "We prepared Gwanghwamun like this, but we are working hard every day to prepare for the concert. I think you can look forward to it. Then he said, "This is what happened to you..." and mentioned RM's ankle injury.
On the 19th, RM suffered an ankle injury during rehearsals for the Gwanghwamun performance and was taken to a hospital for detailed examination and treatment. As a result of the examination, RM was diagnosed with "peritoneal sprain and partial ligament rupture and megalomania (injury and inflammation)", and medical staff found that he should focus on recovery by minimizing movement for at least two weeks after a leg cast.
In this regard, Big Hit Music, the agency, said, "We have decided with the artist himself to minimize RM's movement in 'BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG' to consider the opinions of medical staff as the top priority and to prevent worsening of the injury." As much 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.
BTS released its fifth full-length album "Arirang," which contains a total of 14 songs, including the title song "SWIM," on various online music sites at 1 p.m. on the 20th.
Arirang topped the daily chart of Hanteo with 3.98 million copies sold on the first day of its release. The figure exceeds the team's all-time initial record of 3.37 million copies in one day.
