RM Ankle Injury Limits BTS Comeback

RM, the leader of the K-pop group BTS, sustained an ankle injury during rehearsals for their highly anticipated comeback concert, 'BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG,' scheduled for March 21. The injury, diagnosed as a sprain, partial ligament tear, and talus contusion, will limit RM's on-stage performance, particularly choreography, for at least two weeks. Despite the setback, RM expressed a strong desire to participate, and Big Hit Music, BTS's agency, decided to prioritize his health while ensuring his presence on stage. This event coincides with the release of BTS's fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG,' and the start of their 'Arirang World Tour,' marking their first full-group project in nearly four years. The concert will be livestreamed globally via Netflix, and BTS is also scheduled for events with Spotify and performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
