<p>RM is set to showcase artwork from his personal collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) from October 3 to February 7, 2027.</p><p>Titled &quot;RM x SFMOMA,&quot; the upcoming exhibition will feature around 200 works from both RM’s collection and the museum’s holdings.</p><p>According to SFMOMA&#x27;s website, the exhibition will offer &quot;a rare chance to see modern and contemporary Korean artworks in conversation with artworks from around the world.&quot;</p><p>In a statement, RM remarked, &quot;We live in an age defined by boundaries. This exhibition at SFMOMA reflects those boundaries: between East and West, Korea and America, the modern and the contemporary, the personal and the universal. I don’t want to prescribe how these works should be seen; whether out of curiosity or study, all perspectives are welcome. My only hope is that this exhibition can be a small but sturdy bridge for many.&quot;</p><p>The exhibition is curated by RM, with co-curators América Castillo, Curatorial Project Manager at SFMOMA, and Hyoeun Kim, Assistant Curator at the museum.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU6yia7Abyz/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A22485648.600000024%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>RM, alongside the rest of the BTS members, are currently headlining their <em>Arirang </em>world tour.</p><p>The tour kicked off with a three-night run in Goyang on April 9, 11, and 12.
