Our two cents
The Dojeon Media team is super exited for this collaboration, as it is the first time that a K-pop idol has curated at a US art museum. This goes to show the level of interest in K-culture in the US!
It has also been no secret that RM loves art, as he is often posting museum-related content on his social media.
