- RM brings 145 works by Korean artists to SFMOMA this fall in an exhibition he curated
- RM began collecting Korean art after confronting his own gap — telling himself "I know Picasso, I know van Gogh. I don't know anyone from my country," with the resolve that "You have to find your root"
Why it matters: A globally famous K-pop figure using his platform to place 145 Korean artworks inside a major U.S. museum reframes Korean contemporary art's visibility for American audiences and turns personal cultural curiosity into institutional programming.
