BigHit Music said March 20 that RM was hurt during a concert rehearsal on March 19 and was taken to a hospital for tests and treatment. The company said he was diagnosed with an accessory navicular sprain with a partial ligament tear and a talus contusion — a ligament injury and inflammation — and was placed in a leg cast. Medical staff advised him to minimize movement for at least two weeks and focus on recovery.
"We made the difficult decision together with the artist to minimize RM's movement at the comeback show, prioritizing medical advice and preventing the injury from worsening," the company said. It added that some of his onstage performance, including choreography, will be limited.
BTS is scheduled to hold a free return concert, "BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG," at Gwanghwamun Square at 8 p.m. on March 21.
