BTS star RM is to present his personal art collection in a museum exhibition for the first time. "RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me" opens at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on October 3 and runs through February 7, 2027, the museum's first collaboration with a K-pop artist. Around 180 works have been selected, about 140 of them from RM's own holdings, many to be shown in the United States for the first time, alongside pieces from SFMOMA's collection. The show brings Korean modern art into dialogue with the museum's holdings: works by Yun Hyong Keun, Park Rehyun, Chang Ucchin, Kwon Okyon, Kim Yun Shin and Do Sang Bong will hang near pieces by Kim Whanki, Nam June Paik, Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Henri Matisse and Georgia O'Keeffe. Ceramics, calligraphy, painting and sculpture will trace Korean art from the sixth century to the present, organised around shared subjects including nature, memory and human existence. RM, 32, worked directly with SFMOMA co-curators America Castillo and Kim Hyo Eun to select and organise the exhibition, and wrote the exhibition texts and artwork descriptions in both Korean and English. A bilingual audio guide recorded in his own voice will be available, with music of his choosing playing in the galleries. "This is the first time I'm sharing my collection under my own name," he said through BIGHIT MUSIC. "Few things show a person as honestly as a collection they have built over a long period of time." He began collecting about eight years ago, with an emphasis on modern and contemporary Korean artists still unfamiliar outside Korea. The singer announced the show on Tuesday on KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco; Billboard first reported the news. SFMOMA approached RM after following his long-standing engagement with contemporary art, and director Christopher Bedford framed the project as expanding the global conversation around art while inviting new audiences into the museum.
