BTS’ RM Reveals His Art Collection for New Exhibit, Explains Why He Felt ‘Embarrassed’ to Do So: Watch His Speech

BTS member RM is unveiling his art collection at a new exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), titled "RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me." The 32-year-old K-pop star unveiled his exhibit through a speech on Tuesday, September 29. RM revealed that he has been collecting art for years and was approached by SF MOMA about two years ago during his military service in South Korea, which initially made him feel uneasy.

However, the star found the experience valuable and wanted to open his own space after seeing the impact of this opportunity. The exhibit showcases a variety of Korean modern and contemporary artists, with RM explaining that rapid changes in Korea over the past century led to both loss and creation. He shared that writing labels for the pieces was the most challenging part of the process.

Despite not having a formal education in visual arts, RM felt a sense of embarrassment in presenting his collection, but ultimately sees his collection as a genuine representation of his life and interests.
