BTS’s RM Shares How Nature And Art Helped Him To Deal With Stress And Fear

He found peace in the beauty of nature.

BTS‘s RM is known as the green thumb of BTS as he always takes care of his plants and going on bike rides by the Han River.

In the Break The Silence: The Movie, the members express their joy and fears as they take fans on a ride in their journey as BTS.

Leader RM revealed that he was able to against his fear and stress as an artist through nature. “Well, rather than film noir, I think I’m better suited to documentaries and travelogues. At first, I think I was trying to avoid the amount of attention and the public’s eyes on BTS. In my attempts to counter that, I found nature. I found it in greenery, mountains, rivers, and parks.”

He also explains that he doesn’t think that he is someone that is doing something extraordinary. “I think there are many different kinds of artists. But, there are minorities of artists that create things that are never-before-seen in this world, while there are those that don’t. I don’t think that I’m of the former. Some would say that’s not art or that it’s not fascinating.”

He emphasizes that there are ways to deal with pain and feel better. “And people often say that being in pain is inevitable for artists, but I don’t think it’s always the case. I believe there are a lot of things that I can do that are far better.”

He shares that thanks to nature and art, he is able to continue his work without losing his mind. “That’s what I believe, and I want to keep my thoughts that way. It’s how I’m able to continue without going insane. I think I was able to keep going without creating some kind of public incident all because I didn’t go insane. I don’t want to make myself into a weak person, nor let fear consume me and swallow me whole. So when I go to the museum, grow plants, and ride my bike, it’s all part of a fight to keep myself from going insane.”
