RM of BTS unveiled two initial sets of concept photos that offer a glimpse into his highly-anticipated second solo album Right Place, Wrong Person, slated for May 24. The first two sets of concept photos for the new album were released on May 1 and 3, respectively, via BTS’ official social media channels. The photos capture the person Kim Namjoon (RM’s given name) as an ordinary individual in relatable, everyday settings, enjoying moments of freedom—a departure from the glamorous persona he embodies on stage.

The first set of concept photos was crafted under the artistic direction of renowned Hong Kong-based photographer Wing Shya, best known for her work on the poster for Wong Kar-Wai’s film Happy Together (1997). RM and Wing Shya first crossed paths during a magazine shoot last year, which paved the way for their second collaboration for RM’s newest project. Wing Shya’s interpretation of the album employs unique lighting, contrast, and unconventional angles to amplify RM’s distinct vibe. His direct gaze into the camera within a confined setting, devoid of any props, accentuates the album’s raw and honest presentation of his distinctive sensibility, aesthetics, and beliefs.

The second set of concept photos features RM in familiar settings in Tokyo, Japan, capturing mundane moments in a natural and candid way. Collaborating with Takahiro Mizushima, known for his unique artistic vision, RM’s approachable demeanour inspired the photographer to portray RM through the lens of friendship to showcase his authentic self. Delving into his creative process, Takahiro Mizushima shared he “decided to set the photoshoot in his hometown, believing it would evoke RM’s genuine expressions”.

With another set of concept photos set to be released on May 17, BIGHIT MUSIC stated that “the three sets of concept photos were shot in three different countries by three respective photographers. The intriguing aspect of these photos is seeing how each photographer individually interprets the name and message of Right Place, Wrong Person”.

RM’s second solo album, which explores relatable sensations and moments of feeling like a stranger, out of place, drops on May 24 at 1 PM KST. A pre-release track ‘Come back to me‘ will be unveiled prior to the album on May 10.

Right Place, Wrong Person includes 11 tracks infused with alternative music and rich sounds for all of which RM contributed to the writing of the lyrics. The new album is set to showcase his artistic prowess and stands as a testament to his authenticity and a celebration of his artistic integrity.
