BTS RM ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO DOCUMENTARY FILM    RM: Right People, Wrong Place

RM of pop icons BTS is set to unveil his new solo documentary film RM: Right People, Wrong Place, officially selected to premiere in the 'Open Cinema' section of the 29th BUSAN International Film Festival (BIFF).


RM: Right People, Wrong Place IS THE FIRST FILM FOCUSING ON A K-POP ARTIST OFFICIALLY SELECTED FOR THE ‘OPEN CINEMA’ SECTION AT ASIA’S LARGEST FILM FESTIVAL

Produced by HYBE and distributed by CJ 4DPLEX, RM: Right People, Wrong Place chronicles the eight months leading up to RM’s military enlistment after the release of his first solo album Indigo (December 2022). Closely following the creation of his second solo album Right Place, Wrong Person (May 2024), the film puts a spotlight on the creative powerhouse's journey of self-discovery as he channels his experiences and emotions into an album that showcases his distinctive sensibility and beliefs through a candid portrayal of feeling like a stranger, out of place.


Directed by Lee Seokjun, who has also produced BTS bandmate J-Hope's music videos for "Arson" and "MORE," the film takes viewers through Seoul, Tokyo, and London—cities where RM captured the essence of the album’s visuals, including concept photos and music videos—providing an in-depth look into his creative vision. The various backdrops and diverse artistic collaborations offer an evocative glimpse into his introspection and growth adding depth to the maze-like exploration of RM’s identity as both BTS’s leader and the individual Kim Namjoon (RM’s given name).


THE FILM FOLLOWS RM’S JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY DURING THE CREATION OF HIS SECOND SOLO ALBUM, Right Place, Wrong Person

Set to premiere in BIFF’s ‘Open Cinema’ section—which highlights new works of artistic excellence and broad international appeal—through a large-scale outdoor screening at the Busan Cinema Center, RM: Right People, Wrong Place achieves a significant milestone as the first film focusing on a K-pop artist to be officially selected for the ‘Open Cinema’ section at Asia's largest film festival.


The premiere of RM: Right People, Wrong Place will be followed by a global theatrical release scheduled for later this year.
