BTS leader RM is set to make history as the first K-pop artist ever to speak at the APEC CEO Summit, one of the most prestigious global business forums.
On October 29, RM will attend the second day of the summit held in Gyeongju, where he will deliver a keynote speech titled “The Cultural and Creative Industries in the APEC Region and the Soft Power of K-Culture.”
His speech will run for about 10 minutes, from 3:05 PM to 3:15 PM, and will explore how K-culture’s influence continues to grow as a powerful cultural and economic force around the world.
While the full details of his address have not been revealed, fans and media alike are eager to hear his thoughts as both an artist and global cultural ambassador.
RM’s appearance is especially meaningful as it marks the first time a K-pop star has been invited to speak at this high-profile event, which gathers leaders from 21 member nations and top business executives to discuss the future of innovation and global collaboration.
This year’s APEC CEO Summit will be held under the theme “Beyond, Business, Bridge,” emphasizing the importance of creativity and connection — values that RM has long represented through his music and message.
