Weekends with BTS have become a treasured part of ARMY’s routine, and this time it’s none other than the group’s leader, rapper, lyricist, and producer Kim Namjoon, better known by his stage name RM who invites us to spend the day with him. In his newly released “Museum VLOG,” RM takes fans along on a thoughtful, introspective journey through some of the most beautiful and tranquil places he knows art museums.
For those who follow RM closely, his love for art is nothing new. Over the years, he’s shown a consistent appreciation for all forms of visual art from sculpture to modern installations to centuries-old masterpieces. His Instagram feed resembles that of an art enthusiast rather than a global pop icon, often showcasing quiet moments spent inside museums or glimpses of breathtaking exhibitions around the world. Whether in Seoul, Tokyo, Paris, or New York, RM never misses the chance to visit a gallery.
In fact, art has become such a significant part of his identity that fans have nicknamed him “the museum boyfriend” a term of endearment that captures the calm, intellectual vibe he gives off as he strolls through gallery halls with quiet reverence.
RM begins the vlog with a warm greeting and a brief explanation of what the day will entail. From the moment the video starts, it’s clear that this isn’t just content for entertainment it’s deeply personal. He shares that museums are places where he can unwind, think clearly, and reconnect with himself amid the chaos of a public life lived in the spotlight.
As he enters the first gallery, RM walks slowly, taking time to read the descriptions beside each piece. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t film everything. Instead, he allows moments of silence to stretch between frames, capturing the sounds of his footsteps echoing softly in the stillness of the exhibit rooms. There’s something soothing and reflective about the way the vlog is filmed it feels almost like watching a gentle art documentary narrated by someone you admire.
Throughout the video, RM talks about his relationship with art, how it has evolved over the years, and why it means so much to him. He reflects on how art gives him space to think a rare luxury in his high-paced career. He mentions artists who have inspired him and even shares that some of the pieces in the museum remind him of lyrics he has written or thoughts he’s been carrying with him for a long time.
RM also touches on his hope to support Korean artists and contribute to the local art scene. Over the past few years, he has quietly donated to art institutions and even funded the restoration of pieces at national museums. His passion for preserving and celebrating Korean culture through art is one of the many ways he continues to inspire fans to explore their own heritage and creative interests.
One of the most touching parts of the vlog is how sincere and grounded RM is. Despite being one of the most famous artists in the world, he walks the museum like any ordinary visitor no entourage, no fanfare, just a man lost in thought, appreciating the silence and stillness that only art can provide.
Later in the vlog, RM stops to speak about a particular painting that caught his eye. He describes how it made him feel, what emotions it stirred up, and how those emotions connect to something he’s been writing lately. He admits that sometimes, just looking at a painting is enough to unlock creative energy or soothe a restless mind.
Watching RM in this setting is a reminder of the depth and maturity he brings not just to BTS, but to every aspect of his life. Art is not a hobby for him it’s a language, a refuge, and a source of strength.
During their FESTA dinner, RM had also revealed that his home is filled with art pieces that make him feel calm and connected. He curates his space like a private gallery, each object holding meaning or memory. That same appreciation comes through in the vlog as he talks about art not in a technical or academic way, but with heartfelt curiosity and emotion.
Fans who watched the video were quick to respond with love and gratitude. Many said they found the vlog therapeutic, with some saying they felt inspired to visit their local museums for the first time. Others shared how RM’s quiet passion had led them to explore artists and movements they’d never paid attention to before.
On social media, the hashtag #MuseumDateWithRM began trending, with fans posting clips and quotes from the vlog, admiring his insights and gentle manner. Screenshots of RM standing in front of a sculpture or observing a canvas up close were shared widely, often accompanied by captions like “Healing,” “Peace,” and “Namjoon being Namjoon.”
In an industry that often highlights the loudest, flashiest aspects of celebrity life, RM continues to carve out a quiet, thoughtful lane for himself one rooted in creativity, respect for culture, and a deep desire to keep learning.
As the vlog wraps up, RM thanks viewers for joining him and encourages them to experience art for themselves not just to look at it, but to feel it. He signs off with a smile and a promise to share more of these moments when he can.
In this new BTS chapter where each member is exploring solo paths while remaining connected as a group, RM’s Museum VLOG offers a clear and beautiful portrait of the kind of artist and human he is: grounded, curious, and endlessly inspired by the world around him.
Whether you’re an art lover or someone just starting to discover it, RM’s vlog is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and find meaning in the quiet things.
