SAN FRANCISCO — Kim Nam-joon, better known as RM to millions worldwide as the leader of BTS, also has a personal side that shines at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). Here, the global superstar's role shifts from performer to collector, art student, and curator. The exhibit offers a more intimate glimpse into the objects and artists that have intrigued RM in his quieter moments.

Fans visiting the newly opened **RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me** exhibit in San Francisco, California, should allocate ample time to absorb the extensive offerings. Upon entering the exhibit hall, visitors are greeted by a massive mural featuring notes and writings about the works in RM's own handwriting.
This personal touch sets the tone for the immersive experience that follows. As guests navigate through the exhibit, they encounter a diverse array of artworks, ranging from bold paintings to delicate ceramics, sculptures, textiles, and mixed-media pieces. The exhibit is clearly a deeply personal journey for RM, with visitors quickly realizing the intimate connection he shares with each piece displayed.
