BTS leader RM has issued a direct appeal to fans gathered outside the band’s accommodation in Lima, warning that the constant noise is severely impacting the group’s ability to prepare for their upcoming concerts.

In a late-night social media post, the musician expressed frustration over crowds stationed outside their hotel. While acknowledging his excitement for the group’s debut visit to Peru, he noted the situation was causing significant distress for both members and touring staff. The persistent gathering has also generated noise issues and inconvenienced other hotel guests.

«We appreciate your warm welcome and enthusiasm, but if we do not get enough rest and sleep, it will affect the performances we are able to present to you,» RM wrote in the statement.

This latest public intervention follows a string of similar privacy violations during the South Korean act’s current tour. In July, bandmate V asked followers to respect their private spaces and cease visiting their hotels. He stressed that preserving their off-stage privacy is essential for maintaining their physical condition for live shows.

The boundary issues escalated in August when V and Jungkook reported a disturbing encounter, noting that approximately 20 people approached them during an early morning workout at a hotel gym.
