With all BTS members absent while fulfilling their military service, their fans are looking for more ways to keep close to them, apart from listening to their music. For that reason, here are 5 books recommended by RM to learn more about him and the K-Pop group.
The rapper has proven to be a bookworm, as he has shared on many occasions book recommendations such as ‘The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas‘ by Ursula K. Le Guin, a story that deals with the social moral dilemma of living at the expense of the suffering of others, which BTS also conceptualized in the ‘Spring Day’ MV.
The next literary work is ‘Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982‘ by Cho Nam Joo, which tells the sincere experience of a woman in a patriarchal and misogynistic society, demonstrating RM is continually evolving. Later, ‘The Little Prince by Antoine‘ by Saint-Exupéry, a classic novel that is important for every stage of a human’s life.
Another book is ‘Demian‘ by Hermann Hesse, referenced in the BTS ‘Blood, Sweat, & Tears’ MV, which describes the process of finding yourself while learning the meanings of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. Finally, ‘Jeanneret Chandigarh‘ by Jacques Dworczak, on the architecture of the city of Chandigarh, demonstrates RM’s love for all arts.
