BTS' RM: Most Expensive Art Pieces Owned By Kim Namjoon

BTS member RM's most expensive art piece to date is a breathtakingly beautiful, translucent solid glass cylinder, measuring 50.8 cm in width and 91.4 cm in height, with a staggering price tag of $1.2 million. This exquisite piece, aptly titled 'Untitled (But the boomerang that returns is not the same one I threw)', draws its inspiration from a thought-provoking literary quote from Haruki Murakami's novel, 'Sputnik Sweetheart'. As a self-proclaimed admirer of Murakami's work, RM has often been spotted reading his books and has even cited the author as a significant influence on his songwriting.

BTS’ RM collection also includes Jung Young Joo's artwork as a poignant tribute to Korea's vanishing rural landscapes, which are rapidly giving way to urban development. This large-scale painting, measuring 150×150 cm, is a striking representation of Jung's signature style, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the fleeting nature of traditional Korean village life.

Thibaud Herem’s captivating piece, titled 'Cherry Blossom Bunjae', has a special room in RM's collection, serving as a testament to the artist's unique talent and the BTS leader's discerning eye for exceptional art.

Lee Dae Won, a Korean painter, left an indelible mark on the world of Asian Modern and Contemporary art with his captivating impressionist works. Notably, RM has revealed in a podcast that his inaugural art purchase was a piece by the esteemed Lee Dae Won.
