The two members were further asked on what they think their strengths are as a group, with Tetta, ONE N' ONLY's vocalist, said, "J-Pop and their [BTS and K-Pop] music are definitely different." He added that J-Pop can be called "JK-Pop" as it is heavily influenced by both Western and K-Pop music.

BTS's RM Releases Self-Composed Song "Bicycle"
On June 6, KST, RM released a self-composed song as part of the ongoing 2021 BTS Festa for BTS's yearly celebration that commemorates the anniversary of their debut. The song, "Bicycle," was personally composed and arranged by the BTS leader and rapper himself, alongside singer-songwriter John Eun.
Explaining what inspired him to write the song, RM said, "I have always wanted to write a song about bicycles. Whenever I ride a bicycle, my heart always flutters." He adds that whenever he places his two feet on the bicycle's pedals, he feels a bit sad. Although he doesn't know the exact reason, he says that maybe it's because there are many things that he misses.
"Maybe it's because I don't have a driver's license, so I have never driven a car before," RM says. He also shares how riding a bicycle is a rare time when he feels the most physically free.

RM hopes to be able to transfer that hazy scenery that was always out of reach when he rides his bicycle since his days as a trainee into a song - the sad but exciting and slightly cold but warm feelings. He also hopes that the song will remain in fans' playlists for a long time and that it will become their bicycle song.
