BTS leader RM is once again making headlines not for his music, but for his unfiltered take on marriage, parenthood, and the pressures facing millennials and Gen Z in South Korea.

During a live broadcast on the group's global fan platform Weverse, Oct. 5, the 31-year-old rapper spoke openly about his current state of mind, revealing that he has been reflecting deeply on relationships and life choices while working on a new album.

"I've been feeling some anxiety and depression again recently," RM said. "It always happens when I'm preparing for an album. I spend a lot of time alone, and I'm not good at handling loneliness. As you get older, you're supposed to become friends with yourself and learn how to spend time alone but I still can't stay home by myself."

Even though he has decorated his home beautifully, RM said he rarely spends time there except to sleep. "I feel like I still haven't become an adult," he said. "I guess that's why people get married to find a partner, a lifelong friend to share things with."
