RM of the group BTS revealed the reason why he has an open-minded attitude and a constant desire to learn.
Today (16th), fashion magazine Vogue Korea released a photo and interview with RM on its official website.
On this day, RM opened up about his passion for exploring knowledge and wisdom, saying, "I am in awe of people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who are still open to new things."
RM said, "In the age of information overload, it's easy to become a young man who is just thirty. I try to be aware of my flaws and deficiencies," he explained, "and I try not to get stuck in a frame or a feeling of discomfort at the beginning of a new experience or output."

He continued, "I think 'intellectual desire' is natural. They say that studying is something you do for the rest of your life. There are so many things in the world that I don't know about, that I'm interested in," he said, adding that he's been interested in photography and antiquity lately.
In addition, RM, who has collaborated with various singers through his solo albums and solo careers, was later asked what kind of musician he would like to work with in the future, saying, "I think there was such a standard in the past, but now I don't know. But no matter where you stand, with a certain degree of conviction, you're trying to move towards something."
"I like people who have the capacity and talent to make it happen, not just desires, and who are looking for a way. I'm looking for my story from those people. Whether it's a big guy or a rookie."

Finally, when asked if he feels burdened by being a hot topic for each art exhibition he shares on social media, RM confessed, "I go to a lot of exhibitions and be introduced as an influencer, so it's a bit of a burden."
RM said, "However, I tend to post in the hope that even one of the people who are interested in me or who likes me will have a better experience," adding, "I think that the younger generation like me is especially interested in Korean modern and contemporary art and antique art."
