BTS ARMY are celebrating and remembering RM’s Mono 2 year anniversary by trending the hashtags, #2YearsWithMono, #Namjoon, #HealingwithRMono, #RMonoday, #RMonologue and #ouRMonoversary on Twitter. Mono is RM’s second mixtape, which he referred to as a playlist instead, was released on October 23, 2018, It features seven tracks and was accompanied by an animated music video for the final track, “Forever Rain”.
In 2018 the mixtape charted on Billboard 200 at no. 26 and on US World Albums Billboard at no. 2. RM described the album as a friend to one more than anything and hoped that his music provides some kind of answer and solace for anyone who seeks it. “mono. is a gentle reminder that human feelings — isolation, happiness, abandonment and internal conflict — are all very human and we might share more similarities with the people standing next to us than we think.”
RM’s mono., released on October 23, 2018, is a deeply introspective and emotionally rich mixtape that showcases the BTS leader’s vulnerability, poetic lyricism, and artistic growth. Often described as a “playlist” rather than a traditional mixtape, mono. offers listeners a journey through solitude, longing, and quiet reflection. With tracks like “forever rain,” “tokyo,” and “seoul” (produced by HONNE), RM explores themes of identity, loneliness, and the search for peace in an ever-moving world.
Musically, mono. blends elements of lo-fi hip hop, alternative R&B, and ambient sounds, creating a calming, melancholic atmosphere that sets it apart from his previous solo work. RM’s thoughtful lyrics, often switching between Korean and English, add an intimate layer to the project, resonating deeply with fans who find comfort in his honesty. His gentle delivery and introspective tone invite listeners to sit with their feelings, rather than run from them.
The mixtape was met with critical acclaim and fan admiration, debuting at No. 1 on iTunes Album Charts in 121 countries, an unprecedented feat for a Korean solo artist at the time. mono. is not just music—it’s a quiet companion for late nights, rainy days, and moments when words are hard to find. It remains one of RM’s most beloved and soul-touching works, further proving his depth as both a rapper and a thinker.
