BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)'s RM wore various styles with a confident demeanor. Fashion magazine 'Harper's BAZAAR Korea' released the cover of the September issue featuring RM today (7th). In the three types of covers and preview cuts released, he captivated attention with a more confident and dignified appearance than ever before. In particular, the diverse concepts and styling that harmoniously blend RM's glamorous star persona with his artistic side, which values a simple lifestyle, left a strong impression. In an interview, he said, 'I feel that representing a single brand is really difficult. In the past, I wanted to be photogenic, so I practiced expressions and poses alone in front of the mirror a lot.' He continued, 'Now, the act of shooting itself sometimes feels heavy, but since it's a process created with media, photographers, and staff I like, I was able to approach it relaxed. Actually shooting was very fulfilling and fun.' When asked, 'When do you feel most alive?' he replied, 'As BTS's RM, it's when I'm performing or releasing an album, standing before fans in my most dignified form. As a person, Kim Namjoon (RM's real name), it's when I'm with close friends, being myself without pretense, that I feel 'alive.' Or when I'm immersed in what I want to do without anyone noticing. Traveling is the closest example, but I can't sustain it for long and soon want to go home. Then I return to music production... That makes me feel 'alive' again.' BTS is preparing for a full group comeback in spring next year.
