(T/N: we're not super knowledgeable about Korean painters but the pieces that RM owns are from really renown Korean artists. We'll leave a small intro about the artist and why they are seen as big figures for those who are interested (from Wiki unless specified). He's also being commended for promoting Korean artists.)

Artist Yoo Youngkuk (1916-2002) - Pioneer of Korean abstract art and Korean modern art in general. Interacting with avant-garde artists and participating actively in Jiyu-ten (Free artist's exhibition) and other societies, YYK was at the mainstream of Japanese modern art movement. After the liberation of Korea, YYK led Korean abstract art as the founder of Neo Realism Group and Association of Modern Artists (AMA) along with Whanki Kim (see below), Lee Kyusang, Han Mook, Hwang Yumsu and Park Kosuk. Often he was admirably called as "the magician of colors" because of the bold usage of vibrant colors in his paintings.The painting is from 'Absoluteness and Freedom'

Artist Yun Hyong-keun (1928-2007) - Yun is associated with the "Dansaekhwa"/monochrome painting movement. Although Yun was a senior member of the Dansaekhwa group, his preference was not to categorize himself merely as a so-called ‘Dansaekhwa Artist.’ Undergoing such turbulence throughout his early life, Yun attached more importance to human beings, society and nature than art itself. Corresponding to his own words, “you can’t make art from theory. I truly believe that eternal and fragrant art can only come from a pure and innocent person,” Yun remained thoroughly faithful to a mode of living uniquely suited to his personal idiosyncrasies.

Artist Joung Young-Ju, The Living City - Joung paints unique cityscapes inspired by her native country (CR: Artsy)

The bookshelf he shared recently
It's a work of the Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret (1896 - 1967)
It is said that the intention of his art is to make the bookshelf naturally bend under the weight of the book.
A lot of the artworks that RM owns that he shared on his Insta are from modern and present Korean artists.
I'm jealous at his financial ability to decorate his house based on his personal taste like this at such a young age.

While their fans are buying their pyjamas for 110K won, buying their masks for 5K won each, BTS are buying houses and arts. What a mess

Is RM living in Nine One in Hannam? Wow to be able to live in Nine One in Hannam at 29 y.o is a godly life. But he deserves it due to his hard work so who cares?
