All you need to know about RM's album Right Place, Wrong Person
Right Place, Wrong Person is the second studio album by BTS leader and rapper Kim Nam-joon. It was released in May 2024 and contains the single Come Back to Me. The album draws upon the rapper's experiences and dwells upon encounters with self-discovery and perseverance.
He also released a documentary film, titled RM: Right People, Wrong Place, wherein one can see the artist behind the scenes as he navigates stardom and fame, and tries to find a place for himself in a world.
This album follows the footsteps of the rapper's first solo album Indigo, which also explored themes such as looking within the crevices of the human soul to try and find answers for the living.
Even though the multi-hyphenate rapper has two studio albums under the moniker RM, his solo journey began as Runch Randa. As years went by, Runch Randa changed to Rap Monster or RM.
He is currently away completing his mandatory military duties and is scheduled to be discharged sometime in June 2025.
