So far, RM has already released the solo mixtapes RM (2015) and MONO (2018). “RM has already given fans an honest look into his world on two mixtapes,” the label told Big Hit on WeVerse. “On Indigo, RM delivers his open thoughts and feelings, presenting a wide range of music through collaborations with various artists. We hope everyone is looking forward to RM’s latest release!”
BTS announced back in July that they would be taking a hiatus as a band while members Jin, Suga, V, Jungkook, RM, Jimin and J-Hope will focus on solo projects. They will also do South Korean military service, which is compulsory for men. A possible exemption for the group had previously been discussed, but this did not materialize. BTS have announced they will reunite as a group in 2025.
