BTS shared RM's quote on Weverse stating, "I'd try to see to what extent I could be truly honest with myself as RM or as Kim Namjoon."
According to the statement, this film invites you to explore the depths of his soul, as he ponders on who he really is - caught between his roles as the leader of BTS, the solo artist RM, and simply as the person Kim Namjoon.
Distributors CJ 4DPLEX in a statement, "The film adds meaning as a record of BTS' leader RM, solo artist RM, and human Kim Namjoon as a self-exploration while also embodying the sensual cinematography that was well received in the music video of his solo album, giving the impression of watching an art film."
The film has been directed by Lee Seok-joon, who previously worked on the production of the music videos for "Arson" and "MORE," the title track of BTS' J-Hope's solo album christened "Jack in the Box."
"It is very meaningful that âRM: Right People, Wrong Place' will be the first K-pop documentary film to be screened outdoors at the Busan International Film Festival," said Seo Kye-won, GM of HYBE Media Studio, who was in charge of the production of this film.
RM joined the military in December 2023 with Kim Taehyung aka V. He will finish his service in 2025. The decision by BTS to enlist in the military helped avert a sticky situation for South Korea's government. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied males under 30 years old. The current system allows for some exceptions on the grounds of exceptional service to the country. Some top athletes and classical musicians have been excused on this basis, but pop artists have not.
