With much excitement, BTS's RM on May 10th, 2024 released his single "Come back to me" and has garnered over 12 million views on YouTube! Here is Dojeon team member, Lewis's, honest review on this highly-anticipated comeback!
RM (Rap Monster) had great success as a member of the K-pop band BTS, and his solo single "Come back to me" really made me feel emotional. There was no particular part of the song that made me emotional, but it just pulled on my heartstrings. Let me tell you why!
Let's check out the M/V first!
I also think that the more toned down, and chilled-out vibe that this single projected was a clever idea, to remove the glamourous stages and dance routines and simply show him as an artist individually so that his fans could get to know him on a more personal level.
I can't even pinpoint the parts of it that do so, but it just tugs at the heartstrings. I felt like I was on the verge of crying the whole time, and it broke me at 3:37 when Namjoon started smiling just as the drums came in. It just feels like this whole project is so, so important for him. What a masterpiece in storytelling too! Joon did so well in every scene and I couldn't take my eyes off him, because it showed the difference in their careers and their journey from when they first started to where they are today!
The video made me think about how fast life moves, one moment you are young hanging out with your friends, and then the next you are working, married, or have kids. I think that his video really highlights the importance of enjoying life. The acting was also very good and told his story.
RM's second solo album "Right place, wrong person" will be released on May 24th, 2024 at 1 pm KST/ 0 am EST.
