In a notice on fan community app WeVerse, BigHit Music said the 29-year-old rapper and songwriter would unveil the album titled "Right Place, Wrong Person" on May 24.

The record is "an 11-track album that captures some of the universal emotions that we all experience at some point in life, such as the feeling of being an outsider who doesn’t fit in," BigHit said.

"Right Place, Wrong Person" follows RM's debut album "Indigo," released in December 2022.

It is also the latest offering from BTS, whose members are currently fulfilling their mandatory service in the South Korean military.

RM began his service last December, enlisting around the same time as his bandmates V, Jimin and Jungkook.

But it appears that the members of the K-pop supergroup, including V and J-Hope, have prepared music and other content prior to entering the military.

BTS is expected to resume activities as a full group of seven by 2025, following the members' completion of their respective conscription.
