RM, the leader of BTS, discussed his relationship with art during an appearance at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on Tuesday. He described feeling as though he is continually moving without a fixed sense of place, whether he is in the United States or Seoul, where he grew up.

RM’s remarks came in the context of BTS’ rapid rise as a global group. The source linked the scale of the group’s fame with the challenge of maintaining a stable sense of belonging.
