Korea doesn’t have a royal family any more (very sad story in history) but if it did, I feel like Namjoon would be the king our country deserved, so I painted him wearing the king’s robe. He looks very handsome in regalia, don’t you think? #btsfanart #namjoon #rm

Egami Etsu’s paintings of pop stars includes RM? It’s titled “Renaissance man” but the accompanying words are from his UN speech.

RM fans- do you have any recommendations of a photo that really captures him well that I could use as reference for a painting?

A very respected art influencer in Korea wrote about RM’s impact in the art world and beyond. Two of my portraits of RM were used to illustrate the article!

Breaks my heart that he had insomnia.

Korean media has started to pick up on our exhibit. If you are in Korea, please stop by! We have a special sticker for Army. #btsfanart n.news.naver.com/article/469/00…

The BTS fan art exhibit I’m curating got a shout-out on Artnet! Featuring paintings of 20 artists from around the world at TAXA Seoul from 6/21- 29. news.artnet.com/market/state-o…

I went to Enoura Observatory where Namjoon did his photoshoot and the inside of the tunnel looks like the BTS logo

Seconds feel like hours, hours feel like days, days feel like weeks

Craving noodles?

The National Museum of Korea’s special exhibit on Goryeo celadon (12-13c) is quite good; they also have an excellent permanent collection of ceramics on the third floor, where you can see this bottle with rope from 15c Joseon that was on Joon’s profile.
