BTS leader RM made a big splash at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) with the world premiere of his documentary RM: Right People, Wrong Place, which shares the story of his youth.
On October 7, at 8 p.m., RM’s first documentary was shown at the outdoor theater of the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae. This marked a special moment as it became the first K-pop documentary to be invited to the Open Cinema section of the 29th BIFF. The festival praised the film as "a unique album-making journey and a personal diary of youth."
Even though it rained, fans and international viewers packed the theater to support RM. The event included appearances from key figures like the director Lee Seok-joon, music director JNKYRD, and others involved in RM's second solo album Right Place, Wrong Person. Director Lee shared, “This film is a deep look into RM’s inner self, reflecting emotions everyone can relate to.”
One of the highlights of the night was an exclusive interview video of RM that played before the screening. In the video, RM explained, "This documentary shows the real Kim Nam-joon." He added, “‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ are just perspectives that can change. Through this journey, I’ve realized I’ve become one of the ‘Right’ people.”
As the film played, the audience responded with laughter and deep connection to RM’s story. When the 90-minute documentary ended, the crowd stood up for a long ovation, applauding RM’s journey. The documentary ended with a heartfelt message on the screen: "OUR BIGGEST VOICE, ARMY," showing RM's love and appreciation for his fans.
The documentary, which follows RM's eight-month journey to complete his second solo album, gives a raw and personal look at both the BTS leader and the man behind the music, Kim Nam-joon. With its artistic visuals and emotional depth, it felt like more than just a film – it was a moving piece of art. After its successful premiere, the film is set to be released globally in theaters this December.
Though RM is currently serving in the military, this documentary serves as a powerful reminder of his connection to both his music and his fans. His military service began last December, and he is expected to be discharged in June next year. Fans will no doubt be waiting eagerly for his return!
