Marrakech – BTS leader RM will partner with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) on – an ambitious exhibition opening in October 2026.
The show will feature more than 200 works drawn from both SFMOMA’s collection and RM’s personal archive, reflecting his deep passion for art.
“We live in an age defined by boundaries. This exhibition at SFMOMA reflects those boundaries: between East and West, Korea and America, the modern and the contemporary, the personal and the universal,” RM said in a statement.
“I don’t want to prescribe how these works should be seen; whether out of curiosity or study, all perspectives are welcome. My only hope is that this exhibition can be a small but sturdy bridge for many.”
Co-curated by RM alongside SFMOMA curators América Castillo and Hyoeun Kim, the exhibition will spotlight influential Korean artists such as Yun Hyong-keun, Park Rehyun, Kwon Okyon, Kim Yun Shin, To Sangbong, and Chang Ucchin.
Their works will be shown in dialogue with pieces from Western masters including Kim Whanki, Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Paul Klee.RM x SFMOMA
The project arrives at a pivotal moment in RM’s career. Having recently completed his Korean military service, he is entering a new creative chapter.
His 2024 solo album “Right Place, Wrong Person” explored jazz–hip hop fusion and featured collaborations with Little Simz and Moses Sumney.
Meanwhile, speculation of a full BTS reunion album continues to circulate among fans.
