namjoon is a fucking genius for portraying the standards that are pushed upon society, to have a wife and kids, to live in a polished house, the juxtaposition of his chill hang outs with his friends to the life he's "supposed" to have pic.twitter.com/hDrg2DbhNh

In a candid revelation ahead of his enlistment, the rapper expressed apprehension about the institution of marriage during an appearance on the tvN variety show The Dictionary of Useless Human Knowledge.

Despite societal expectations, RM confessed to harboring doubts about the prospect of eternal commitment, acknowledging the pressure to conform to traditional norms.

First of all, it's pretty scary for me... I'm not sure about it. To promise eternity to someone, officiate it, and bring your friends together... Before, the thought of, 'Will that ever happen in my life?' seemed natural to me. I figured that when the time came, I would get a job, work hard [in life], and get married.

As RM grapples with societal expectations and his own evolving perspective, he remains uncertain about the role of marriage in his future.

Reflecting on his unconventional journey, RM acknowledged the divergent path he has chosen and the realization that personal fulfillment cannot be dictated by external pressures.

Marriage is a commitment, so it is not something to take lightly. It's also not in everyone's goals.No one should feel pressured to do anything just because others suggest it's how one should live.Only we can know what is best for us

-RM

In many ways, the themes explored in the "Come back to me" music video mirror RM's introspective journey, underscoring the importance of authenticity and self-discovery amidst societal expectations.
