BTS RM's honest thoughts on marriage and childbirth

 

Jinsu-ya, durig his live broadcast, RM said that marriage and childbirth are choices. He said that South Korea seems to put too much pressure on women to give birth. He told women to just live life however they want. I totally agree. Ladies, let's stop thinking marriage and childbirth are obligations. 

There's this pressure about marriage, and it's a realistic concern. Especially for women. It feels like there's this constant pressure from society and the media for us to have children and other things. I just hope everyone gets to live life however they want. There's no right answer. 

I just think... If you can't handle being alone, will getting married actually make it better? Because once you're married, you might still want to be alone. People are complicated. So, someone who is comfortable with being alone might also be comfortable having companion, and vice versa. Therefore, getting married as a solution or a way to escape loneliness... I don't think that's right. 

As for children, I'm not sure about this either. For me, I already struggle with taking care of myself. Raising a new life, a child... It doesn't really go the way you plan. If I think about how much trouble I gave my parents when I was young, then imagine if I had a kid just like me? Ugh~~ How tough would that be? Of course, they could be lovable to. But again, there's no right answer. 

People who are married can only speak from the perspective of married people, and those who aren't married can only speak from the perspective of unmarried people. There are things we don't know about each other. Stories and cases from those around you should only be taken as their personal experiences. 

In South Korea, I think those of us born in the 90s are the first generation where marriage truly became an options. I believe everyone should live according to their own choices. 

I went a bit too deep into the topic of marriage, but well... That's just how it is. What else do we really have as content in life? Hobbies, travel... There's no right answer to any of it. 

However, I do think it's important to nurture both our bodies and minds. Exercise and reading are the things that genuinely bring good to people. I don't think there's anything that's 100% good for everyone, but if there is, it's reading and exercising. Because they don't lie. 

So, marriage doesn't make your loneliness go away 100%. I really don't think it does.

-Whoa... Honestly, I never really liked him before, but this makes me like him. You can tell he's smart. He speaks in a different way.

-That's right. Reading and exercising are always a plus in life.

-I want to get married to someone smart like that.

-As expected from Namjoon💜

-Does he have no thoughts on writing a book? I’m genuinely curious about what he thinks and feels about life.

-As expected from my bias. He's the first Korean man I've deeply fallen for. A cool person down to the bone.

-He's so freaking smart.

-He should be the President.

-He's right. We live in an era where marriage is no longer mandatory.

-Fans might not like it, but I think he should go into politics.

-He's absolutely right. Marriage doesn't end loneliness. Sometimes, you'll feel even lonelier. Do you think having child will make you feel less lonely? Sometimes you'll feel even lonelier with child.

-... If you're telling me to live however I want.. I want to marry you, darling.

-Crazy... Give him a round of applause.

-Can he run in the next election?
