BTS RM’s Words Are Literally Art And Needs To Be In Museums ASAP

By

ARMYs know that BTS’s RM is the definition of a leader and the voice of an entire generation. His way of speaking is so powerful that he makes history beyond K-pop. Most recently, fans noticed that one of his quotes from an interview was displayed at the entrance of the National Folk Museum of Korea.

‘K-’ is a premium label. It’s that guarantee of quality that our grandparents fought for.

— BTS’s RM, March 12, 2023, Interview of El Pais

This quote comes from his popular interview with El Pais, which also garnered much attention for his response to a specific question.

Q. The cult of youth, of perfection, of overachievement in K-pop… Are these Korean cultural traits?

A. In the West, people just don’t get it. Korea is a country that has been invaded, razed to the ground, torn in two. Just 70 years ago, there was nothing. We were getting aid from the IMF and the UN. But now, the whole world is looking at Korea. How is that possible? How did that happen? Well, because people try so fucking hard to better themselves. You are in France or the UK, countries that have been colonizing others for centuries, and you come to me with, “oh God, you put so much pressure on yourselves; life in Korea is so stressful!” Well, yes. That’s how you get things done. And it’s part of what makes K-pop so appealing, although, of course, there’s a dark side. Anything that happens too fast and too intensely has side effects.

With this, ARMYs were proud to see RM’s words and influence being displayed in various places, including museums!

But honestly, when are we getting Namjoon for President?
