Can we just appreciate that RM co-wrote ‘Black Swan’ for a moment? BTS’ first single from their highly anticipated album, Map of the Soul: 7. The song’s lyrics reveal the fear of falling out of love with your passion and becoming “burnt out.” The Black Swan video opens with a quote from late dancer Martha Graham: “A dancer dies twice—once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” Such beautiful words for a deep song that is haunting yet revealing at the same time. RM in Black Swan is a powerful force of nature, he always takes you to a journey whenever he hits the stage or in BTS music videos.

His rap is always thought provoking and gives you some kind of puzzle that your mind will unfold as you continue listening to him. As much as he complains about his dance not being that great, RM dances with the flair of a performer and has curves that astound any one watching him. His height makes him to stand out and it is always a joy to watch his body movements as he dances to the rhythm and style of whatever song he is performing. Black Swan just brings out something menacingly beautiful yet so gripping that you fear looking into his eyes. RM is a great dancer.

ARMY is once again head over heels for BTS’s leader RM after his breathtaking performance of “Black Swan” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. As the hauntingly beautiful choreography unfolded, RM’s presence commanded attention—his movements precise, yet fluid, exuding elegance and power in every step. Dressed in all black and bathed in moody lighting, his expression alone told a story, and fans couldn’t look away. It wasn’t just a performance—it was art, and RM proved yet again that he’s not only a lyrical genius but also a captivating performer.

Social media immediately lit up with praise for RM, with fans posting clips, slow-motion edits, and heartfelt messages about how his stage presence completely stole the show. Despite sharing the stage with six other incredibly talented members, RM’s unique charisma shone through, especially during his solo moments where his interpretation of the song’s emotional weight hit hard. ARMY highlighted his growth as a dancer, noting how much effort he’s put into perfecting his technique—and it shows. Tweets like “Namjoon in Black Swan should be illegal” and “RM’s performance was hypnotic” trended worldwide.

The demand for more of RM in dramatic, contemporary-style pieces like “Black Swan” is louder than ever. Fans are hopeful for a solo stage or dance project in the future, with many already creating fan edits imagining what such a performance would look like. RM has always shown his artistic depth through music and visuals, but this performance gave ARMY a glimpse of his raw, physical artistry—and now, we’re all begging for more.
