  • RM donated 100 million won to the National Museum of Korea through its foundation.
  • The funds will support acquisitions for the museum’s collection.
  • RM’s 140-work exhibition opens Saturday at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art.

BTS leader RM, whose legal name is Kim Nam-joon, has donated 100 million won ($70,000) to the National Museum of Korea through the National Museum of Korea Foundation. The funds will support acquisitions for the museum’s collection. Appointed the museum’s global ambassador in June, RM said he would continue helping promote the institution and Korean culture. The museum said his ongoing support could increase public interest in Korea’s cultural heritage and museums, and said it would respond with stronger exhibitions and programs. RM, a collector focused largely on Korean modern and contemporary art, will also be featured in “RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me,” an exhibition opening Saturday at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art with 140 works from his collection and museum holdings. The exhibition runs through Feb. 7, 2027.
