BTS's Kim Namjoon, popularly known as RM, is currently serving his compulsory military enlistment in South Korea. The singer's discharge date is reportedly scheduled for June 10, 2025. His record label, Big Hit Music, released his second studio album, Right Place, Wrong Person, in May 2024 while he was enlisted. The album featured 11 tracks, including the visually acclaimed song, Lost.

Ten months after the music video was dropped, it has won several accolades and nominations, the latest being the 'Best Concept Video' at the 2025 Berlin Music Video Awards. Namjoon reportedly has made history by becoming the first Korean to be nominated for the category. Pop Crave confirmed the news on its X channel on April 14, 2025.

The 2025 Berlin Music Video Awards are scheduled between June 12 to June 14. RM's Lost has gained critical acclaim for its visual aesthetics and storyline. According to a press release, the song,

“conveys a hopeful message that even if one is lost, perhaps it may all be fine if lost with friends by one’s side."

BTS's Namjoon's track has been nominated for multiple awards this year. The song became the first K-pop ACT nominated in the Hollywood Music Video Awards for the Most Innovative Video Of The Year. A fan account (@RMIndiaOfficial) on X revealed Lost has bagged two nominations, Music Video and Videography categories at the Association of Independent Commercial Producers Awards. The caption read,

"For the 13th time internationally, "LOST!" Music Video's Cinematography has been nominated for an award, this time by the AICP Awards 2025, alongside a nomination for Music Video."

In close to two months, Namjoon is expected to finish his compulsory military enlistment. His music video is directed by Aube Pierre, who has previously worked with Harry Styles, The Hives, and other artists. While it is unclear if Namjoon will be working on new music once he is discharged, the chances are not unlikely. Fans shared excitement for the singer's achievements while he is enlisted.
