BTS' RM Injures Ankle Before Comeback Concert, Will Perform With Limited Movement

BigHit says he will wear a cast with movement restricted for at least two weeks on doctors' advice.

Overview

  • The label said RM was hurt during a March 19 rehearsal and diagnosed with an accessory navicular sprain, a partial ligament tear, and a talus contusion.
  • His choreography will be scaled back at BTS The Comeback Live: Arirang on March 21 at Gwanghwamun Square, though he will appear on stage to engage with fans.
  • BigHit emphasized prioritizing medical guidance to prevent further strain and apologized to fans while pledging full support for his recovery.
  • The concert marks BTS’s first full-group return in nearly four years, coincides with the release of the new album Arirang on March 20, and will stream live on Netflix.
  • Authorities expect large crowds around the venue, and the two‑week recovery window precedes the April 9 start of the Arirang world tour, with any impact on later choreography not yet determined.
