BTS' RM says he gets ‘really jealous' when he listens to great albums: ‘I just can't be objective'

BTS' RM, aka Kim Namjoon, is back with his band as they plan a reunion after their military discharge. Amid this excitement for the bad members and their fans, RM, in a recent chat, spoke about his affair with art, and admitted that he experiences the feeling of jealousy when he listens to albums from fellow musicians. He also spoke about his Instagram feed and said that it has nothing to do with politics, and looks like a curated art gallery. With burnout and setbacks that inevitably came after over a decade of life in the spotlight, RM said he once stumbled into Chicago's Art Institute during a tour stop and found himself utterly floored. 'Just the idea popped into my head: why don't I go to the museum and see some Monet or Van Gogh?' he recalled in a chat shared on Samsung Newsroom's YouTube channel. 'I was shocked to see all of those textures.' he continued, 'My mental peace is that I don't get jealous [of fine art]… I find peace because my drawing sucks and I'm not good at it at all,' prompting some chuckles from the crowd. But the rapper admitted that when he's listening to brilliant albums from fellow musicians, he gets jealous. He said, 'Like sometimes when I listen to like, great musicians' albums, I get really jealous and I just can't be objective.' He said that this was why he turned elsewhere for escape. 'I don't get jealous of art,' he said. 'I just get peace.'

From posters on his wall to a digital frame TV, he shared how his love for art evolved naturally, with no pressure to 'know it all.' He added, 'There are millions of artists out there, but maybe I know 50 or 70 that I could talk about. And that's okay.'

Just a few days ago, BTS member Jungkook found himself in a similar controversy. However, RM made it clear that the art he shares on his Instagram feed has nothing to do with personal partnerships or politics. 'There's no political or profitable connection to it,' he said. 'If I like it, I share it.' He recalled how millions of his fans have helped him, and the world, discover underrated artists who deserve appreciation. Despite being labelled a 'curator' by many, RM said he doesn't see himself as one. 'I didn't major in art history,' he shrugged. 'I'm just a fan.' 'Art makes me happy,' he said, wrapping up the conversation, adding he dreams of building his own space in Seoul to bridge East and West, old and new.

'Maine dekha ki...' This star once make SHOCKING revelations about Sushant Singh Rajput's death, felt it was only..., his name is...

In the glitzy yet sensitive world of Indian cinema, some names are known not just for their creative genius but also for the storms they occasionally stir. One such celebrated filmmaker, who once collaborated with the late Sushant Singh Rajput on a project that still resonates with fans, found himself in the eye of a public outrage. His words, intended or misinterpreted, sparked widespread backlash, opening old wounds and raising questions about respect, timing, and empathy. Bollywood Director… Here we are talking about director Dibakar Banerjee, who is a well-known Indian director, producer, and screenwriter. Before entering the film industry, he worked in advertising for a long time as a copywriter, creating commercials for major brands. In 2006, he made his directorial debut with the film 'Khosla Ka Ghosla,' featuring powerful actors like Anupam Kher and Boman Irani. With this film, Dibakar demonstrated his ability to convey significant themes with simplicity. It was well-received by audiences and won the National Award for Best Hindi Film in 2007. However, Dibakar's name has also been associated with controversy. He drew media attention for his film 'LSD 2,' but an even bigger uproar occurred when he commented on the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. His remarks angered many, leading to social media backlash and trolling. The Time When Dibakar Gave His Opinion On Sushant Singh Rajput In a YouTube interview with Siddharth Kannan, Dibakar expressed his views on Sushant's death, stating that people were more interested in sensational gossip rather than genuinely mourning the loss. He noted, 'When Sushant died, there was a lot of speculation in the news regarding the cause of his death. I needed to distance myself from it all. I was listening to everything, lekin tab maine dekha ki log bas masaledar gossip hi dhundh rahe the, maine kisi ko bhi nahi dekha shok ya uske liye gham manaate hue. There was no conversation about how a young actor had passed away. Everyone was more focused on conspiracy theories—who provided drugs to Sushant, who was responsible for his death. Where were the tributes? Where were the discussions about the impact of his films? Those who genuinely loved him should have held screenings of his movies and talked about them.'

How Far Will Parents Go For Views? The Toddler-Lizard Video Says A Lot

Parenting is often called a 24/7 job, demanding constant attention, responsibility, and care for a child's safety, no matter the hour. In today's social media-driven world, some parents seem more focused on capturing content than protecting their children. A recent viral video has raised questions about responsible parenting after a shocking scene unfolded on Instagram. The video shows a large lizard crawling around a toddler who is lying in a baby stroller, completely unaware of the reptile's presence. The lizard had entered the pram and couldn't find a way out. What startled many viewers wasn't just the presence of the reptile, but the parents' reaction. Instead of rushing to protect the child, the parents remained unusually calm. The father is seen laughing and trying to catch the lizard—unsuccessfully—while the mother continues filming. Each failed attempt is met with more laughter from the couple, raising serious concerns about their priorities and the risks they were willing to take for views and entertainment.
