Tomorrow night, BTS is going live on Netflix from Gwanghwamun in Seoul to promote their first album, Arirang, which is out today, since their forced military break.
And talking about breaks. RM did not break his ankle, but he did injure it. Because of that, their label, Weverse, released a statement about his participation in the anticipated performance. “During a performance rehearsal on March 19, RM suffered an ankle injury and was taken to a hospital to undergo a detailed examination and treatment. A medical diagnosis confirmed a sprain of the accessory navicular, a partial ligament tear, and a talus contusion (which includes ligament damage and inflammation). As advised by medical professionals, he must wear a cast and strictly limit movement for a minimum of two weeks to concentrate solely on his recovery.
“While RM expressed a firm commitment to deliver a high-quality performance at this symbolic comeback stage at Gwanghwamun, the company, in close consultation with the artist, has made the decision to prioritize the medical opinion to preemptively prevent any further strain on his injury.”
They added that his participation will be limited, but he will try to be as much a part of it as he can.
