BTS’s RM, the leader of the septet who is currently busy with South Korea’s mandatory military service, has released his new album. On May 24, Kim Namjoon released his much-awaited comeback album titled Right Place, Wrong Person. The second single album features 11 tracks, including a title track titled Lost and a pre-release track Come Back to Me. Upon release, the songs instantly became chart-toppers on iTunes worldwide, even hitting the Billboard charts in the UK. However, a B-side track titled Nuts is not going down well with fans as the lyrics seem to be quite ‘personal’.
BTS’ RM sparks speculation about his dating life
There’s a lot of discussion online about RM’s song Nuts and whether it reflects a past relationship. The lyrics are quite emotional, and fans are definitely getting it. Some are interpreting it as RM talking candidly about a difficult romance. The entire album is getting a lot of praise for its creativity and the way RM paints a picture using his lyrics.

“Every night, I write letters to my past, with just one glass of whiskey, all the memories come pouring out, praying to a God I don’t even believe in so you can move on from being my everything in your twenties,” the song’s English-translated verse 2 reads, with the Korean rapper rapping about how “love will inevitably fail, love is for cynics.”
Although the veteran K-pop idol has remained mum about his personal and dating life, fans have often decoded clues from the way he delivers music and interprets raw emotions. The above-mentioned lyrics have convinced a section of fans that RM must have gone through a bad breakup. Many also supported the theory that the rapper in his 30s must be dating someone considering his age, and said that it is quite normal to have a girlfriend or partner at this age.

BTS’ RM’s lyrics about his past heartbreak raise eyebrows
Moving forward, the song depicts the other person’s desire to move on and find happiness, even if the relationship is difficult and the pain remains. There is a reflection of the past, an acknowledgement of hardships and regrets, but also a sincere desire for the other person to be happy and content, even if they don’t want to believe it.
“I will sincerely wish you happiness, even though you probably don’t believe me
It was a tough relationship, I have a stigma on my chest
This is what you say, I can’t even believe that we were together
It was a flu, and we could see karma coming
The monster I was not, I beg you, oh, baby, please
Always, always, always wishing you true happiness, damn it.” (NUTS lyrics)
“He’s obviously had girlfriends, he’s 30 so of course,” one person wrote on X. “All those people say “oh he read books bro he’s 30! If you think he’s never been in a relationship.. you need help.” another wrote. “You’re telling me you got smoking hot lyrics where Jungkook can be seen protecting himself but you can’t see the lyrics dedicated to his heartbreak or girlfriend.” “Once confused forever confused, whether you want to believe it or not, he’s dating and it’s okay.” Others said the same.
