• BTS's RM Wows Fans with Emotional Documentary Premiere at Busan Film Festival

    BTS leader RM made a big splash at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) with the world premiere of his documentary RM: Right People, Wrong Place, which shares the story of his youth.

    On October 7, at 8 p.m., RM’s first documentary was shown at the outdoor theater of the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae. This marked a special moment as it became the first K-pop documentary to be invited to the Open Cinema section of the 29th BIFF. The festival praised the film as "a unique album-making journey and a personal diary of youth."

    Even though it rained, fans and international viewers packed the theater to support RM. The event included appearances from key figures like the director Lee Seok-joon, music director JNKYRD, and others involved in RM's second solo album Right Place, Wrong Person. Director Lee shared, “This film is a deep look into RM’s inner self, reflecting emotions everyone can relate to.”

    One of the highlights of the night was an exclusive interview video of RM that played before the screening. In the video, RM explained, "This documentary shows the real Kim Nam-joon." He added, “‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ are just perspectives that can change. Through this journey, I’ve realized I’ve become one of the ‘Right’ people.”

    As the film played, the audience responded with laughter and deep connection to RM’s story. When the 90-minute documentary ended, the crowd stood up for a long ovation, applauding RM’s journey. The documentary ended with a heartfelt message on the screen: "OUR BIGGEST VOICE, ARMY," showing RM's love and appreciation for his fans.

    The documentary, which follows RM's eight-month journey to complete his second solo album, gives a raw and personal look at both the BTS leader and the man behind the music, Kim Nam-joon. With its artistic visuals and emotional depth, it felt like more than just a film – it was a moving piece of art. After its successful premiere, the film is set to be released globally in theaters this December.

    Though RM is currently serving in the military, this documentary serves as a powerful reminder of his connection to both his music and his fans. His military service began last December, and he is expected to be discharged in June next year. Fans will no doubt be waiting eagerly for his return!

  • Lee Jun Young says he felt guilty and cried after acting mean to a grandma in 'Brave Citizen'

    Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

    On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

    During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

    He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

    The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

    “I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

    He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

    “In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

    Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
