BTS` label, BIGHIT MUSIC, recently announced that RM’s first solo ary film, "RM: Right People, Wrong Place," will be premiering at the 29th Busan International Film Festival.

Directed by Lee Seokjun, who also produced BTS bandmate J-Hope’s videos for “Arson” and “MORE,” the ary promises to be a visual and emotional feast.
