RM's second solo album Right place, wrong person is still a few weeks away, but the BTS star is giving fans a visual sneak peek at the project ahead of time.
The K-pop star shared a series of original photos on Thursday (May 2) teasing the aesthetic of his upcoming 11-track LP, which will be released on May 24. he poses in simple locations in Tokyo – a parking lot, in front of a tree, a swing in a playground – and looks at the camera, occasionally smiling.
In one shot, he leans back in an office chair in a cluttered, colorful office space. In another photo, he holds his shoes while standing in the ocean at night, the bottoms of his jeans soaked from the water.
According to a statement, the artwork is meant to portray RM, born Kim Namjoon, as an “ordinary person in relatable, everyday settings, enjoying moments of freedom – a departure from the glamorous persona he embodies on stage.” The concept applies to the hardware Right place, wrong personwhich captures the singer-dancer's feelings of “being an outsider who doesn't fit in,” as noted in Weverse's album announcement last month.
The new photos were shot by Takahiro Mizushima and come two days after RM premiered the album's first set of concept images, shot by Wing Shya. Fans can expect a third batch of teaser images Right place, wrong person on May 17.
