BTS RM’s Handwritten Letter And Donations Arrive At National Libraries
본문
Previously, it was revealed that BTS’s RM had donated 100 million won ($~84,200 USD) to the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art to celebrate his birthday.
His intention for donating was to “spread the culture of reading ‘beautiful art books’.”
The donation focuses on books by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art that is hard to find or needs to be republished and was donated to both public libraries and schools nationwide.
They published 4,000 copies of the eight-book set to be sold at the MMCA book store available for anyone to purchase.
A fan posted photos of the books and handwritten letter from RM that they received at the national library.
“We just recently received this package at the library that I work at. As soon as I saw Namjoon’s name I remembered that he donated to the National Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art! I can’t believe I’m seeing his present in real-life. I am so honored and am thankful to RM for sending us this precious gift.”
좀전에 제가 알바로 일하는 구립도서관에 택배가 도착했어요. #남준 이란 이름을 보자마자 얼마 전 국립현대미술관에 #RM 이 1억 원을 기증한 기사가 떠올랐죠. 와! 이렇게 RM의 선물을 눈앞에서 받게 될 줄이야. 너무 감격스럽고 다시 한번 귀중한 선물해준 #BTS 남준에게 고마움 전해요

…and a handwritten letter from RM!
Really, I don’t think there is an easier or deeper way than a book to learn about something. I too, am still learning and talking with many artists through books and sometimes, it even feels like they are alive and right next to me. I hope that you enjoy the books and receive a lot of comfort and inspiration like me. Drawings are not hard, they are very close to us!

RM’s consistent positive influence towards the appreciation of the arts has helped open many people’s eyes to the importance of culture and history.
