RM of BTS released today his second solo album, Right Place, Wrong Person. Born out of curiosity about himself, both as RM of BTS and the person Kim Namjoon (RM’s given name), the long-awaited album is a raw and honest presentation of the creative powerhouse’s distinctive sensibility, aesthetics, and beliefs that explores the relatable sensations and moments of feeling like a stranger, out of place.
Marking his return after one year and five months since the release of Indigo in December 2022, Right Place, Wrong Person reveals an added dimension to RM’s unique artistic depth, serving as a testament to his authenticity and artistic integrity. It includes 11 tracks—‘Right People, Wrong Place’, ‘Nuts’, ‘out of love’, ‘Domodachi’ (feat. Little Simz), ‘? (Interlude)’, ‘Groin’, ‘Heaven’, main track ‘LOST!’, ‘Around the world in a day’ (feat. Moses Sumney), ‘ㅠㅠ (Credit Roll)’, and pre-release track ‘Come back to me’—for all of which RM contributed to the lyrics to deliver candid expressions throughout.
Continuing his cutting-edge collaboration across all genres of pop culture, RM presents an album that boasts a star-studded lineup of collaborators, including Kim Hanjoo from the South Korean band Silica Gel, the American jazz duo DOMi & JD BECK, OHHYUK from the South Korean band HYUKOH, and Kuo from the Taiwanese band Sunset Rollercoaster on songwriting. The album also features British rapper Little Simz on “Domodachi (feat. Little Simz)” and American singer-songwriter Moses Sumney on 'Around the world in a day' (feat. Moses Sumney).
The main track 'LOST!' is a fast-tempo alternative pop song that narrates the story of someone who has lost their way. It conveys a hopeful message that even if one is lost, perhaps it may all be fine if lost with friends by one’s side. As showcased by the various contents leading up to the album's release, the track demonstrates RM’s ability to unite artists from diverse backgrounds. In addition to Kim Hanjoo from the South Korean band Silica Gel contributing to the songwriting, various musicians involved in the production of the track are featured as part of the track's backing vocals, adding layers to the meaning of coming together.
The accompanying music video was directed by French director Aube Perrie, recognized for his work with Harry Styles. The cinematic video begins with RM performing 'LOST!' on a television show. He soon gets lost in his own mind as the maze-like stage transitions to mysteriously surreal settings where he encounters four personas representing different aspects of himself. Together, they navigate through the twists and turns of the broadcast station to eventually find an exit back to the stage. Faint applause signals the end of the live performance, leaving RM bewildered about the vivid experience, unsure if it was a brief mental excursion or something more profound.
In light of the album’s release, murals of the album’s main concept photo were installed in Seoul and London to visually relay RM’s artistic vision. These murals, placing him in unexpected locations, will offer viewers a deeper, multidimensional experience of the album.
RM will be unveiling additional music videos and a live performance video for tracks from Right Place, Wrong Person on May 28, 30, 31, and June 10 KST.
