BTS’ RM Unveils Second Solo Album ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’: Stream It Now
RM of BTS is officially a solo album artist two times over. The K-pop star’s second record, Right Place, Wrong Person, arrived Friday (May 24), bringing with it 11 new tracks for fans to enjoy amid the band’s military obligations.
Led by the single “Come Back to Me,” Right Place, Wrong Person also features the alternative-based songs “Nuts,” “Groin,” “Heaven,” “LOST!” and more. Overall, the LP reflects a “raw and honest presentation of RM’s distinctive sensibility, aesthetics, and beliefs,” per a BigHit release, and follows the South Korean artist’s 2022 debut album Indigo, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Leading up to the new album’s arrival, RM unveiled several concept photos to get fans excited for the project. According to another release, the artwork was meant to capture the star born Kim Namjoon as an “ordinary individual in relatable, everyday settings, enjoying moments of freedom — a departure from the glamorous persona he embodies on stage.”
The snaps directly reflect the material on Right Place, Wrong Person, which captures the singer-dancer’s feelings of “being an outsider who doesn’t fit in,” as noted in Weverse’s album announcement in April.
RM and his BTS bandmates Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook are currently serving in the South Korean military, which mandates an 18-month military enlistment for all able-bodied men by the time they turn 28. A few of the members have pursued various solo projects amid their service, and the full group is planning to reconvene for band activities in 2025.
