In shocking news that has left the BTS ARMY and the global music community deeply concerned, BTS leader Kim Namjoon, better known as RM, was involved in a severe car accident last night. The incident reportedly occurred while RM was traveling to a private event in Seoul.
According to initial reports, the accident took place on a busy expressway during the late hours. RM’s vehicle collided with another car in what witnesses described as a “terrifying crash.” While details about the circumstances remain under investigation, preliminary accounts suggest that slippery roads caused by heavy rain might have contributed to the collision.
Eyewitnesses at the scene expressed shock at the severity of the crash, with both vehicles sustaining substantial damage. Emergency services arrived promptly, and RM was rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention.
The accident has sparked widespread speculation and concern among fans and the public, with many anxiously awaiting updates on RM’s condition.
Doctors have confirmed that RM sustained injuries, including a mild concussion and bruising, but fortunately, his condition is stable. Medical professionals have recommended that he undergo further observation and take an extended period of rest to ensure full recovery.
