BTS’s RM Teams Up with Korea's Hip-Hop Icon for Explosive New Collab!

Two icons of K-pop are teaming up once again.

On April 25, Tablo of Epik High officially announced his new collaboration with BTS’s RM, dropping a teaser video for their track ‘Stop The Rain’ via social media.

The teaser opens with the sound of rain and haunting snippets of both Tablo and RM’s voices, setting a moody and cinematic tone. A dramatic visual of a falling angel and a playing card featuring a character holding an umbrella hints at the rich, interconnected worlds of Epik High and BTS’s lyrical storytelling.

According to Tablo, ‘Stop The Rain’ was actually recorded two years ago. The track blends his signature introspective style with RM’s deep, charismatic voice—marking their first official release together since RM’s 2022 solo album Indigo, which featured Tablo on the fan-favorite track ‘All Day (With Tablo)’. Fans are already calling this a reunion of poetic powerhouses.

The highly anticipated single will be released on May 2 at 1PM KST across all major streaming platforms.

Meanwhile, RM continues to make waves even during his military service. On April 23 (local time), it was revealed that both RM and fellow BTS member Jimin have been nominated for Favorite K-Pop Artist at the upcoming American Music Awards—marking the first time they’re competing as solo artists. BTS previously won the award in 2022, the year the category was first introduced. RM is currently serving in the military and is expected to be discharged in June.
