[@NanciBK]

If you guys don't know, I thought it might interest you to know that RM went into a ROKA (Rep of Korea Army) Band and is playing saxophone as his enlistment duty. In addition, he has been spotted with a Buddhist Chaplain's patch on his uniform, so he is also doing that. These things may seem strange, but they are completely in line with his identity as a musician, a lifelong learner, a bold experimenter and someone who has done a lot of exploration of philosophy and religions and existential questioning and internal reflection.

[@NanciBK]

Also, the Lost MV is winning major awards at international film festivals. His documentary of his album making is also debuting at film festivals. The album was billed as an Indie album by Big Hit before release. We were all speculating Indie-what?? The answer appears to be "Yes." Indie-everything.

[@Christy2812]

I loved their reactions, RM is a genius and the whole team that worked with him, if you can, you should listen to Indigo, RM's previous album, it's very beautiful, it doesn't have all this mix of experimental sounds like RPWP, but it's still great.

[@drmazlinamazlan]

If you listen to this album without stopping in between songs, the transition from one song to another is crazy cohesive. You will feel like one long song especially the first 4

[@soulygrz5119]

Seriously! I just thought it was a long song with multiple twists and turns as I was driving but when I finally looked I was at that 4th or 5th song 😂

[@sammy532]

This is one of BTS's most critically acclaimed project; actually listed as Best Album of the Year by multiple publications. A whole musical journey; I'd trade anything to relive the morning I first listened to that album.

[@yeizzycastro6303]

Este es el álbum más aclamado por la crítica de BH y posiblemente de todo Hybe.

[@anne-marieoptekamp3052]

This isn’t BTS, this is a solo project by RM!

[@Pshakess]

I'm not Army, just a music fan, but this album is brilliant and one of the best of the year for me. I would give a lot to hear it again for the first time too.

[@pockettannies]

@@Pshakess what a nice comment! this is kind of random but may i ask how you found the album? i'd love to spread it to more music fans and your reply would really help with that

[@angartsnirex]

You're absolutely right on what you're saying at the end. Not all artists have that privilege to experiment. Not just privilege, it's also confidence, openness, knowledge, interest & control over their musical route. Rm & bts members proved during their solo era that they can do the music they want may it be pop, ballad, jazz, rock, rnb, rap, or even this mixed of an album. They're not afraid to do the music they want & they proved to everyone that they're in control. It's not like their company, which they built btw, make them not to do specific genres bec fans might lose interest. No. They let them showcase thwir own musical ability & choice of genre. Regardless if army would want them or not.

"A sonic sculpture" ☺️ That's a defenition of this album that I know Namjoon will love..

[@jessicapierce3027]

One drawback to listening to the album with videos is that you miss the song transitions. The way "Nuts" flows into "Out of Love" is so perfect on the album.

[@dreamgloww6650]

the transitions are so smooth!! namjoon's albums are all amazing. RPWP is my fave!

[@RabidNav]

This is so true. The first time I listened to it I kept having to look at my phone to see if the song changed because the transitions were so smooth that I couldn't tell.

[@DimpleYAY]

Absolutely!!!!! The transition is flawless!!!! RPWP isn't leaving my mind i fear

[@fauziahpawan6605]

I soòo agree....listening without the videos brings on a different experience...

[@Samantha122588]

All we (ARMY) have ever wanted for all the members were for them to be able to do whatever they wanted ..like artistic freedom...and in a live with RM last year we told him to do exactly that because he was working on this album at the time. And I'm so happy he was able to do this before he went to the military he definitely needed to go through this whole process...and thank you for going through his whole album and appreciating it even if its not your style of music you prefer 💜

[@chisays9936]

Critics love (and I love) RMs album and MV "Lost" has been won 'Best cinematography award' in Berlin Commersial Awards and Ciclope 4 nominees and nominated (3) in UK Music Video Awards, (is there more? 😅). And (first kpop act) his documentary "RM: Right People, Wrong Place" to premiere at the 29th Busan International Film Festival (sold out)...💜 Sorry my english and greetings from the north edge of Europe

[@sarabangtan07]

The album title, “Right Place, Wrong Person” is key to understanding his surprising choices in this album In his intro track, he mentions that he’s getting high on a forest fire. He’s burning it all down & loosing himself in it all. The experimental nature of the music mirrors this chaos Also as he’s rapping from the perspective of the “wrong person” his swearing & rage seem lyrically and sonically on point The album contains a series of labyrinths in the 10 tracks, ultimately leading back to himself The “right place” for an artist is a place where they feel unsure & also the “right place” is where they can authentically be & express themselves

[@jessicapierce3027]

This album was submitted for an album of the year nomination at the Grammy's. It deserves an Album of the year award, but I doubt it will be recognized as such.

[@6468May]

No, this type of excellent music will never win album of the year. Too many old fogeys on voting at the Grammys

[@donitapolk9413]

[@hollyjette276]

There are so many great Artist Western and not who have never won a Grammy. BTS are Artist whom I look forward to seeing perform and hear their content. They Continue to produce new music and are not afraid to explore different things. I for one appreciate that. I don’t need them to win a Grammy to find that out. I only support their quest for a Grammy because they want to be acknowledged with one.

[@sanres2100]

I listen to this album everyday and it gets better every time. When you listen to it non stop it’s amazing, the transitions between songs, mainly the first 4 songs, seem like it’s just one long song. It would be better if you listen to an album, that you listen to the recorded version. Music videos have a lot of noise that is not part of the songs

[@throga]

Thanks for pointing that out :)

[@jendiademalleyhart3027]

It’s a sad state for music that we miss CREATIVITY in musical works in pop culture.

If you watch 'mini moni music' RM and Jimin sit down and discuss RPWP in part 1 and then Jimin's album WHO in part 2. This will answer a lot of your questions and will be great additions to your album reviews. Sonically this is food for the ears. Love it!💜

RM's 'Nuts' Live Video was filmed in Fish Factory Studio, North West London. RM has his own private studio called "RKIVE" which he decorated with art pieces, it is located at the HYBE building. All three members of the rap line have their own private studios in the HYBE building, they usually go live to speak with ARMY from their studios, so ARMY are very familiar with how they look like. RM's studio is RKIVE SUGA's studio is Genius Lab j-hope's studio is Hope World

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

“Piecing together a sonic sculpture” is a genius way of describing this music. This is one of my favourite albums EVER.

[@algb2338]

“I just always admire that courage to be so far outside the box..” Me too.

[@sewingBay1255]

This is my album of the year. He worked on this album with San Yawn of Balming Tiger. Check out their stuff, too. It should open some more doors. Check out his mixed tape Mono, and his album Indigo. Also, Namjoon often shares his musical recommendations and one he shared was Hyukoh and Sunsetrollercoaster recent collaboration. Another phenomenal album. He celebrates his friends and colleagues. Namjoon is one of a kind.

[@sewingBay1255]

Ps. He has been hailed as an extremely talented producer. Hence the interesting choices, perhaps?

[@sewingBay1255]

Pss. Dare I say it - I think this was his big FU to the industry? His love hate.

[@lilyjoeliani6558]

Someone mentioned it, but your timing couldn't be more perfect. The documentary for the making of this RPWP album was screened in Busan International Film Festival just YESTERDAY, and the show was SOLD OUT (unheard of in a film festival, esp for a docu). RM is the first Kpop Artist to have a film debut at a major film festival! People are saying that this is a very good docu, very raw, sincere, and intensely showing RM's thought and artistic processes for this album as well as the deep struggles on finding himself. This docu will be aired globally in theatres this December, so you guys might want to have this on your radar.

[@1800withBTS]

Sharing this article written last June that encapsulates how extraordinary Right Place Wrong Person truly is. Title: "The Grammys need to ditch their K-Pop bias and consider RM’s ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’ for their biggest award" It's never too early for Grammy talk By Francisca Tinoco Published: Jun 12, 2024 This year in music has been one of the busiest we’ve seen in the past decade. The biggest names in the industry have, are, or will be putting out new albums, setting the Grammys up to be an absolute bloodbath. Yet still, there should be space among the nominees for an underdog, a wild card. RM‘s Right Place, Wrong Person album is easily one of the best productions to come out of 2024. It’s an experimental, boundary-pushing, fresh, conceptual hip-hop project with something to say. Across 11 incredibly distinct tracks (including three interludes), the 29-year-old rapper - who’s currently completing his military service in South Korea - lets loose on topics ranging from romantic heartbreak to the pressures of his status as the leader of the world’s biggest band. The disheveled nature of the album’s production reflects RM’s marked refusal to conform to the neat and proper confines that the country’s media, cultural, and political forces have long attempted to force him into. Sonically, Right Place, Wrong Person keeps the listener on their toes with constant twists and irreverent instrumentation, while never losing the groove and coolness that has come to define the rapper’s solo music. In short, it’s an album that is very clearly deserving of critical and institutional attention but frustratingly is most likely to not get much of either. It received positive reviews from magazines like NME and Rolling Stone and turned the heads of a few online critics like theneedledrop’s Anthony Fantano, but did not make as much noise as a similar release from a Western artist could have. As with any release from a BTS member, powered by its tireless fanbase, it was fairly successful on the Billboard charts, debuting at number 5 on Billboard 200 and at number 1 on its Top Rap Albums chart. Frankly, Right Place Wrong Person has everything working against it. Rap albums and artists of color (especially those not from the U.S.) aren’t the Recording Academy’s preferred genre or demographic as it is, but to make matters worse, RM comes from a prolific pop boy band, a category the Grammys typically and traditionally like to ignore. That is why it was an achievement in and of itself when BTS were nominated - three times for their music, and an extra two times for their feature on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres album - especially considering the animosity the American music industry usually reserves for anything that is non-Western. Even then, the band was pushed towards the same category every time, one that’s far from being among the Grammys’ most important - Best Pop Duo/Group Performance - and still didn’t win it once, despite meritorious chart performance and cultural impact. Oh, and only their English-language singles were ever considered, despite their Korean-language music being far superior in quality, and actually written and produced by the band members. The difference was that the band’s fan collective, known as the Army, was simply too large and loud to be ignored, making it impossible for the Grammys to quietly shun BTS like what happened with the likes of One Direction in the past. With RM, however, it is far trickier, even if Right Place, Wrong Person is arguably bolder, more mature, and more interesting than BTS’s radio-friendly repertoire. The name brand is simply not as resonant as BTS’s and the appeal of the music, especially after this more alternative attempt, is narrower. An artist and an album need to build and keep momentum to even cross the hairs of the Recording Academy come Grammys nominations time. With RM unable to campaign for the album in person and the fandom dispersed, it’s hard to imagine a future where Right Place, Wrong Person is featured among the list of nominees, even if it’s just as deserving as the albums that will be. Right Place, Wrong Person is Album of The Year material, but it might not even pick up Rap, Pop, or R&B nominations. Still, if RM ever comes to receive the acclaim and prestige he is owed, this article may serve as an artifact of a time when he was unjustly overlooked.

[@sansa6622]

I just love that while listening to the different tracks and watching their mvs you feel lost and sometimes don’t get the lyrics or the mv. It just really makes one interested in what is going on/happening and what’s the meaning. Also I like that it’s sometimes hard to understand the lyrics or mvs because feelings or thoughts are often very hectic and complex too. And I’m feeling that all this confusion is supposed to be something we feel because that’s what rm intended. Which I have to say if it really is like that is actually very cool and different from other albums.

[@sansa6622]

I just really want to know what rms thought process for this album was like. He is such an interesting person and I would like to understand him

[@aaronkingtan]

1:10:52 "This hole song is a Journey"... The song is called 'Around the world in a Day'', RM managed to make us feel exactly what he wanted.

[@spoopyjhope]

It's crazy how Joon's solo works always get better and better, I don't know how he does it. I remember thinking Mono was so good but then Indigo came out which I thought couldn't be topped, and the rpwp came out which is clearly album of the year .. he's so talented.

[@VanefromUruguay]

Woow! amazing how Domodachi is Controled chaos for you but for me just late 60´s fusion according to my cultural background---Let´s remember late 60´s were highly experimental in art.

I loved the journey that is this album. Keeps me interested and curious the whole way through even with the parts that are not necessarily what I would usually gravitate towards.

[@throga]

Agreed!

[@lal4mm]

I'd like to add that ㅠ is a Korean character, like a vowel, not just a crying symbol, that makes a "yu" sound, and then Koreans use this character as a crying emoji, 😭 = ㅠㅠ = "yu yu"

[@Will0wl]

If you loop Around the World in a Day while listening to it with good quality headphones, it actually sounds like a restart of a day cause the music ends with an evolved version of how the song started. So it’s like starting a day with a cup of tea where your brain needs a stimulation and ending with an overloaded brain from the day's events and then going to the next day. It is my most favourite song in the album! Thank you so much for your reaction to RPWP. 💜

[@diysismee]

The whole album is masterpiece. I remember how I amazed when hearing every single song for the first time. Anyway you react his album coinciding with the release of this album's progress documentary☺️ I love it

[@andreaebeling6320]

Yes I believe his documentary will be about him working on this new album.RM does actually play the saxophone in the military band.This album definitely took me a few listens to really appreciate it,this is definitely not something I would normally listen to myself. You should listen to his and Jimin discussing each others albums it’s called MMM Mini & Moni music . They talk about the songs and kind of where they were at during the time . It’s a 2 parter it was very interesting.

"sonic sculpture "- that's such a great description of RM's work! He would love to hear this - RM is a passionate art supporter. This was very interesting!

[@fauziahpawan6605]

I think many artists can experiment with their sounds esp if they are at the top of their game BUT what we get is the very artistes at that top echleon who stay away from expanding their sounds...and if they actually do try then the usual reaction is less than enthusiastic or downright condemnation. The ones who do experiment are lumped into a non described category called "alternative". Namjoon may be a top name in kpop but doing this album is literally suicidal whether in kpop or universal music scene....but he just showed supreme guts....smart storyboarding....his usual poetic lyrics.....and super experimental instrumentation.......listening to RPWP feels like a surreal scratching of that sonic itch in your brain......so many accomplished artist want to do that but very few attempt it and do so well.......RPWP is that rare masterful piece of work that makes real artist cringe with jealousy....

[@joely_d]

Pls React to the entire Wings album, I like this dynamic of reacting to entire albums, this way some BTS gems that don't usually ask for much don't go unnoticed, I hope you can also react to the whole era of LOVE YOURSELF (There are three albums)

[@shockofthenew]

I'm so in love with this album it's 100% my kind of music, but I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't find it accessible. I'm obsessed with it though! Ever since RM's first mixtape in 2015 (also a banger) I always had a feeling there was something more raw, unfiltered and experimental to come in the future... but then BTS got unexpectedly popular beyond their wildest dreams, and they were suddenly in the brightest spotlight imaginable with vast amounts of pressure weighing down on them... this album feels like a big release of tension, with RM finally coming back to his roots, but with 10 years more perspective and maturity.

[@aanorrac3398]

You really need to listen to it as a whole. Even the timing and transitions between songs is deliberately paced and thought out. "Genius' is right. It feels random but is so RIGHT! The album is his journey into accepting the imperfect nature of life. Almost like curating the chaos in sonic form. His last song is him telling us and himself to come back to his true self after this journey. I love it.

[@racheljerusha]

? (Interlude) really lends itself to the style of Me'shell Ndegeocello's "Peace Beyond Passion" album. It has the same vibe. RM really outdoor himself on this album. It's been submitted for Grammy consideration. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves as a true music artist. Thank you guys! I really enjoyed your album review.

[@VaderRising]

Is was such a journey to listen to. I think this album was really freeing for RM. he needed to find himself, his own voice outside of being RM of BTS. He was going through a lot at the time, and he needed to disconnect from the stress and expectations of BTS, to reconnect with Kim Namjoon. The result is this amazing album that just feels like he let go and let himself be himself if that makes sense. I would recommend you watch MiniMoni. It is 2 shows that is just RM and Jimin playing their albums for each other and talking about the inspiration for their albums. It is really amazing and gives you a glimpse of their thoughts and feeling during the time making these albums. The first one is RM playing his RPWP for Jimin, the second is Jimin playing Muse for RM. the time for RM was especially difficult and you just feel for him, and Jimin is such an amazing listener. He just understands RM, and has such empathy for him as well as all of the members.

I came late,but early enough to see the full reaction. Thanks for your full reaction of the album. I only wanted to add ..the musicians that helped Namjoon with the production did live covers from both songs: SUNSET ROLLERCOASTER-COME BACK TO ME y SILCA GEL-LOST!. Both are so good too if you wanna check those

His chaos is not irresponsible. It is very calculated. He is another level.

Make sure to listen to Nuts on the album as well as the music video! It is slightly different from the video.

Around The World in A Day is that BI... And reminds me of Prince so so so much.

Isn't this album amazing? You'll definitely have one or two favorites, and some others maybe not so much, but one thing's for sure: you definitely won't regret giving this album a go. He's experimenting a lot and letting go of so much burden in this album, you can FEEL how cathartic it is.
