RM: Right People, Wrong Place made its debut at the Busan International Film Festival last month in the Open Cinema section of the festival. According to a synopsis of the documentary, in addition to following the release of the rapper’s album it also “explores his reflections on how honest he can be as both RM and Kim Namjoon (the artist’s given name), as he navigates the gratitude for the attention he receives with the pressure and fear that come with his fame.”
