A new documentary about BTS's RM is set to hit more than 3,000 screens around the world!

On October 4, at the 2024 CJ Movie Forum 'Navigating the New Paradigm' in Busan, details were revealed about the documentary RM: Light People, Long Place (directed by Lee Seok-jun). The film follows the creation process of RM's second solo album and is an official selection in the Open Cinema section of the 29th Busan International Film Festival.

This documentary shows the nearly eight-month journey of making RM's solo album, including personal interviews with him.

It explores RM's ongoing journey of self-discovery as the leader of BTS, a solo artist, and as Kim Namjoon, the person behind the music.

This is a big deal because it's the first time a K-pop documentary has been officially selected for the Open Cinema section at the Busan International Film Festival.

During the announcement, Oh Yoon-dong, head of production at CJ 4DPLEX, shared, "CJ 4DPLEX has been working to provide extreme immersion for audiences worldwide." He also added, "Starting with this RM content, we plan to distribute it ourselves. We are set to release it on over 3,000 screens globally beginning in December."

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
