This is not a drill, BTS Army: RM previously stated that a solo album would be released soon; now, both a release date and the project’s name have been announced. The rapper announced the album’s release on Thursday (Nov. 10), sharing a picture of a vivid blue denim patch along with the information.
“‘Indigo,’” RM captioned the post. “RM 1st Solo Album, 12/2.”
BigHit Music, the record company that represents BTS, also posted the information to its social media accounts along with a picture of a blue cloth swatch bearing the album’s title in white bleach. Indigo will be released on December 2 at 12 a.m. ET and 2 p.m. KT, according to the label.
“ Indigo recounts the stories and experiences RM has gone through, like a diary,” a press release said of the project. “The album will present a different charm of RM with various featured artists.” (None of the featured artists have yet been announced.)
Although RM’s upcoming full-length solo album, Indigo, will be his debut, he has already released two mixtapes. He was the first member of BTS to release solo music, releasing his own mixtape in 2015 that featured the singles “Do You,” “Awakening,” and “Joke.” Then, in 2018, RM dropped a second mixtape titled Mono. The only single from this latter body of work, “Forever Rain,” was released, and the album debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200.
Soon after fellow BTS member, Jin released his own solo track titled “The Astronaut,” RM’s solo album announcement was made. Currently, the song is ranked No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100.
