Our First FULL ALBUM Reaction to Right Place, Wrong Person - RM (BTS) 

This is one of BTS's most critically acclaimed project; actually listed as Best Album of the Year by multiple publications. A whole musical journey; I'd trade anything to relive the morning I first listened to that album.

This album was submitted for an album of the year nomination at the Grammy's. It deserves an Album of the year award, but I doubt it will be recognized as such.

One drawback to listening to the album with videos is that you miss the song transitions. The way "Nuts" flows into "Out of Love" is so perfect on the album.

Critics love (and I love) RMs album and MV "Lost" has been won 'Best cinematography award' in Berlin Commersial Awards and Ciclope 4 nominees and nominated (3) in UK Music Video Awards, (is there more? 😅). And (first kpop act) his documentary "RM: Right People, Wrong Place" to premiere at the 29th Busan International Film Festival (sold out)...💜 Sorry my english and greetings from the north edge of Europe

It’s a sad state for music that we miss CREATIVITY in musical works in pop culture.

You're absolutely right on what you're saying at the end. Not all artists have that privilege to experiment. Not just privilege, it's also confidence, openness, knowledge, interest & control over their musical route. Rm & bts members proved during their solo era that they can do the music they want may it be pop, ballad, jazz, rock, rnb, rap, or even this mixed of an album. They're not afraid to do the music they want & they proved to everyone that they're in control. It's not like their company, which they built btw, make them not to do specific genres bec fans might lose interest. No. They let them showcase thwir own musical ability & choice of genre. Regardless if army would want them or not.

All we (ARMY) have ever wanted for all the members were for them to be able to do whatever they wanted ..like artistic freedom...and in a live with RM last year we told him to do exactly that because he was working on this album at the time. And I'm so happy he was able to do this before he went to the military he definitely needed to go through this whole process...and thank you for going through his whole album and appreciating it even if its not your style of music you prefer 💜

If you listen to this album without stopping in between songs, the transition from one song to another is crazy cohesive. You will feel like one long song especially the first 4

Namjoon's album is a musical experience!! Rm is a genius ❤❤

I love this album, our RM was going through things and he poured it into this creative beautiful piece of art💜

The whole album is masterpiece. I remember how I amazed when hearing every single song for the first time. Anyway you react his album coinciding with the release of this album's progress documentary☺️ I love it

RAP - definition at its best You guys know the full form of RAP right Rhythm And Poetry (rap)

It's cathartic isn't it, this album? I loved it so much when I first heard it, and I still feel the same 🎉🎉🎉💜💜💜

hell yeah!! thanks again for listening to this album (i know i was one of the more active commenters suggesting this lol), was so nice to watch the morning before a 12 hour shift. RPWP is easily one of my favorite albums of this year. looking forward to your nightwish reaction coming up soon! 🎉

“Piecing together a sonic sculpture” is a genius way of describing this music. This is one of my favourite albums EVER.

Could you also do a full album review and reaction of RM’s Indigo? And his live performance at Rolling Hall, too? That place is special to him because he dreamed about performing there when he was just starting.

oh i love this album with all BTSArmy heart can wait for his documentary come out on cinemas, globally and willing to travel if no play in my town... please pray for us in FL

Have you heard of the jazz duo Domi & JD Beck? They were the drummer and flute player in ? (Interlude).

Pls React to the entire Wings album, I like this dynamic of reacting to entire albums, this way some BTS gems that don't usually ask for much don't go unnoticed, I hope you can also react to the whole era of LOVE YOURSELF (There are three albums)

This is my album of the year. He worked on this album with San Yawn of Balming Tiger. Check out their stuff, too. It should open some more doors. Check out his mixed tape Mono, and his album Indigo. Also, Namjoon often shares his musical recommendations and one he shared was Hyukoh and Sunsetrollercoaster recent collaboration. Another phenomenal album. He celebrates his friends and colleagues. Namjoon is one of a kind.

Thank u guys for reacting to the hole album, RPWP its a masterpiece from RM, they were a lot of negative when this came out cause it is different, experimental but also so clever at another level that doesn't go on the normal streaming music. I'm so happy that the album, MV and now the documentary it receiving the recognition it deserve. The Album its on the list of the most smartest album on 2024 and RM was so open with type of music, he really challenge him self and he nailed it.

“Humanity in music” ❤

Hi guys! It's nice to see you guys reacting to RPWP. It's such an amazing album! P.S.: It would be nice if you guys listened to the studio version of "Nuts" since the MV is a live version that I loved, but since you guys have already watched it, the studio version would be a nice choice 😊

Yes I believe his documentary will be about him working on this new album.RM does actually play the saxophone in the military band.This album definitely took me a few listens to really appreciate it,this is definitely not something I would normally listen to myself. You should listen to his and Jimin discussing each others albums it’s called MMM Mini & Moni music . They talk about the songs and kind of where they were at during the time . It’s a 2 parter it was very interesting.

loved the reaction to RPWP- this masterpiece has garnished so much recognition and I’m happy y’all made time to react ☺️

It's okay, BTS members are not teenagers anymore. They are grown men soon to have a life of their own, I am sure we don't mind if you are not PG, RM is definitely not PG 🙂

Sharing this article written last June that encapsulates how extraordinary Right Place Wrong Person truly is. Title: "The Grammys need to ditch their K-Pop bias and consider RM’s ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’ for their biggest award" It's never too early for Grammy talk By Francisca Tinoco Published: Jun 12, 2024 This year in music has been one of the busiest we’ve seen in the past decade. The biggest names in the industry have, are, or will be putting out new albums, setting the Grammys up to be an absolute bloodbath. Yet still, there should be space among the nominees for an underdog, a wild card. RM‘s Right Place, Wrong Person album is easily one of the best productions to come out of 2024. It’s an experimental, boundary-pushing, fresh, conceptual hip-hop project with something to say. Across 11 incredibly distinct tracks (including three interludes), the 29-year-old rapper - who’s currently completing his military service in South Korea - lets loose on topics ranging from romantic heartbreak to the pressures of his status as the leader of the world’s biggest band. The disheveled nature of the album’s production reflects RM’s marked refusal to conform to the neat and proper confines that the country’s media, cultural, and political forces have long attempted to force him into. Sonically, Right Place, Wrong Person keeps the listener on their toes with constant twists and irreverent instrumentation, while never losing the groove and coolness that has come to define the rapper’s solo music. In short, it’s an album that is very clearly deserving of critical and institutional attention but frustratingly is most likely to not get much of either. It received positive reviews from magazines like NME and Rolling Stone and turned the heads of a few online critics like theneedledrop’s Anthony Fantano, but did not make as much noise as a similar release from a Western artist could have. As with any release from a BTS member, powered by its tireless fanbase, it was fairly successful on the Billboard charts, debuting at number 5 on Billboard 200 and at number 1 on its Top Rap Albums chart. Frankly, Right Place Wrong Person has everything working against it. Rap albums and artists of color (especially those not from the U.S.) aren’t the Recording Academy’s preferred genre or demographic as it is, but to make matters worse, RM comes from a prolific pop boy band, a category the Grammys typically and traditionally like to ignore. That is why it was an achievement in and of itself when BTS were nominated - three times for their music, and an extra two times for their feature on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres album - especially considering the animosity the American music industry usually reserves for anything that is non-Western. Even then, the band was pushed towards the same category every time, one that’s far from being among the Grammys’ most important - Best Pop Duo/Group Performance - and still didn’t win it once, despite meritorious chart performance and cultural impact. Oh, and only their English-language singles were ever considered, despite their Korean-language music being far superior in quality, and actually written and produced by the band members. The difference was that the band’s fan collective, known as the Army, was simply too large and loud to be ignored, making it impossible for the Grammys to quietly shun BTS like what happened with the likes of One Direction in the past. With RM, however, it is far trickier, even if Right Place, Wrong Person is arguably bolder, more mature, and more interesting than BTS’s radio-friendly repertoire. The name brand is simply not as resonant as BTS’s and the appeal of the music, especially after this more alternative attempt, is narrower. An artist and an album need to build and keep momentum to even cross the hairs of the Recording Academy come Grammys nominations time. With RM unable to campaign for the album in person and the fandom dispersed, it’s hard to imagine a future where Right Place, Wrong Person is featured among the list of nominees, even if it’s just as deserving as the albums that will be. Right Place, Wrong Person is Album of The Year material, but it might not even pick up Rap, Pop, or R&B nominations. Still, if RM ever comes to receive the acclaim and prestige he is owed, this article may serve as an artifact of a time when he was unjustly overlooked.

I'd like to add that ㅠ is a Korean character, like a vowel, not just a crying symbol, that makes a "yu" sound, and then Koreans use this character as a crying emoji, 😭 = ㅠㅠ = "yu yu"

I listen to this album everyday and it gets better every time. When you listen to it non stop it’s amazing, the transitions between songs, mainly the first 4 songs, seem like it’s just one long song. It would be better if you listen to an album, that you listen to the recorded version. Music videos have a lot of noise that is not part of the songs

This album makes me so happy and I don't know why. It's so enjoyable to me 😅. It's so relatable to me

I was working so I could not participate but I am here now. Love the creativity and risk-taking on this album. Each of them took their own risks and went where their artistry called to them. Love this album, Jimin's, Tae's, JHope and Junkook. Can't wait to see what Jin gives us.

I came late,but early enough to see the full reaction. Thanks for your full reaction of the album. I only wanted to add ..the musicians that helped Namjoon with the production did live covers from both songs: SUNSET ROLLERCOASTER-COME BACK TO ME y SILCA GEL-LOST!. Both are so good too if you wanna check those

Exactly, his sonic choices are original and different. Even though I don't like the swear words, again, I agree with you ❤

Don't miss Jimin's birthday on the 13th, Hobi's return on the 17th, and the full Super Tuna!

Thank you ❤. Revisit the album with you was really nice

Enough words to describe how much I love this album ..masterpieces masterpiece masterpieces

I AM SO GLAD YOU MADE THE BEATLES REFERENCE! 1:11:27 ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for doing the whole album. I am not into rap much either. But there's something about RM that totally grabs me. Indigo is my favorite though

The sound reminds me of poetry readings with discordant jazz you found in the beat generation….

The best

Stay safe out in Orlando!

I loved the journey that is this album. Keeps me interested and curious the whole way through even with the parts that are not necessarily what I would usually gravitate towards.

i love this album SOO MUCH

aw i overslept, been waiting for this. thank u richard and johny for the appreciation. Namjoon is exceptional, i still listen to his mono album. this album is kinda different but it served.

I love the reference to the Beatle's A Day In the Live!

Gracias a Dios se alejó de las formulas aburridas de kpop y de pop wester. Si había un músico que podía tener fe que me podia sorprender ese era él y no defraudó❤

The jazzy part was played by a jazz duo. There is also a Taiwanese band in there.

Make sure to listen to Nuts on the album as well as the music video! It is slightly different from the video.

Around The World in A Day is that BI... And reminds me of Prince so so so much.

RM's learning to play the saxophone in the military, yes! V learned it before he got into BTS. Did you not watch them greeting Jin coming out yet? #Free_BTS

41:17 you have to check out domi and JD Beck!!!! Insane drummers and keyboard player!! It was played!

Stay safe in Orlando!

If you haven't, check some Yoko Kanno or Cowboy Bebop OST. This album is right up there sonically and I love it so much :)

Someone mentioned it, but your timing couldn't be more perfect. The documentary for the making of this RPWP album was screened in Busan International Film Festival just YESTERDAY, and the show was SOLD OUT (unheard of in a film festival, esp for a docu). RM is the first Kpop Artist to have a film debut at a major film festival! People are saying that this is a very good docu, very raw, sincere, and intensely showing RM's thought and artistic processes for this album as well as the deep struggles on finding himself. This docu will be aired globally in theatres this December, so you guys might want to have this on your radar.

ㅠㅠ youyou! 😭

Best album I’ve experienced in a loooong time. It has so many aspects that I love. 🫠

Stay safe+

If you watch 'mini moni music' RM and Jimin sit down and discuss RPWP in part 1 and then Jimin's album WHO in part 2. This will answer a lot of your questions and will be great additions to your album reviews. Sonically this is food for the ears. Love it!💜

1:10:52 "This hole song is a Journey"... The song is called 'Around the world in a Day'', RM managed to make us feel exactly what he wanted.

love this ... thank you

It's crazy how Joon's solo works always get better and better, I don't know how he does it. I remember thinking Mono was so good but then Indigo came out which I thought couldn't be topped, and the rpwp came out which is clearly album of the year .. he's so talented.

Namjoon también toca el saxofón y el piano, en su servicio militar está dentro de la banda musical y su instrumento es el sax

BTS is totally not 'heavy on autotune'. They're exploring that lately, but it's not their style. You just mostly got to know their newer music until now. Watch them being clear when they come back, autotune represents their shadow and inner thoughts and doubts, 2 years Covid + military service, nearly 5 years altogether, half their career! Nobody ever used autotune more deliberately! We all know none of them need it, that's why they can do it. It's one more tool to express yourself.

Just love this album.

Richard u are the Author of the book Title ",When the Voice Vanishes" and you are 3x guinness world title holder wow!!..where so lucky to discover your Channel❤.. Godbless u and Johnny... Thank u for sharing you &Johnny Songs for us!.. You showed Love and how dedicated you both to us your fans in your channel @Throga..More Power to both of u and more blessings ..more subs.to come.. Goodhealth much❤❤and Thanx!..

RM ALBUM RPWP WAS NAMED ALBUM OF THE YEAR BY BILLBOARD,NME , ROLLING STONES,AP AND THE GUARDIAN 🔥 NO ONE EVEN CAN COMPARE TO HIM OR MATCH HIS ARTISTIC VISION 💙PLEASE REACT TO INDIGO AS WELL IT'S A MASTERPIECE ❤

Out of Love is a response to the toxic ARMY who criticize RM’s choices on V lives. You shouldn’t smoke, you shouldn’t drink, you shouldn’t swear. He wants to tear down the image of an Idol “cause it’s my fuckin’ script.”

Es un gran álbum el que nos regaló RM🎉❤

domodachi is a word he creates by combining japanese words Domo = thanks and tomoDachi = friend

Is was such a journey to listen to. I think this album was really freeing for RM. he needed to find himself, his own voice outside of being RM of BTS. He was going through a lot at the time, and he needed to disconnect from the stress and expectations of BTS, to reconnect with Kim Namjoon. The result is this amazing album that just feels like he let go and let himself be himself if that makes sense. I would recommend you watch MiniMoni. It is 2 shows that is just RM and Jimin playing their albums for each other and talking about the inspiration for their albums. It is really amazing and gives you a glimpse of their thoughts and feeling during the time making these albums. The first one is RM playing his RPWP for Jimin, the second is Jimin playing Muse for RM. the time for RM was especially difficult and you just feel for him, and Jimin is such an amazing listener. He just understands RM, and has such empathy for him as well as all of the members.

If you had listened to his first solo album Indigo before this (his second) album, it would have put things into perspective more. But still thanks for the reaction! Highly recommend to react to whole Indigo album. It is musical and lyrical masterpiece! Still my favorite album of BTS solo albums.

I might be wrong but you can listen 4 songs in a 1 go without problems

My first listen to the album gave me psychedelic acid tripping at Glastonbury vibes. 😂

Johnny: hair vs coffee... The right order is: air room, coffee, hair, (decaf,) do stuff. Don't tell me that he falls out of bed looking like that. It's great that you both are so smiley in the morning! With me, it would be like pulling theeth... I need about 2 hours to be able to speak... 🤷‍♀️

Love this album. But wondering why you haven’t reacted to Jimin’s live from his Muse album Rebirth and Slow dance with Sofia Carlson?? Hope to see that from you guys soon!!

Isn't this album amazing? You'll definitely have one or two favorites, and some others maybe not so much, but one thing's for sure: you definitely won't regret giving this album a go. He's experimenting a lot and letting go of so much burden in this album, you can FEEL how cathartic it is.

He can play 🎷

You need the perfect to juxtapose the improvisation

💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜

I paused at 56:11 and had to double check if Jhonny was shushing you 😂😂😂

51:03 “Tomorrow: 60 songs …”. Is that a promise, Richard? I gotta go count my pennies 😂

The music studio is not his. I'm not sure where it is, but I'm guessing that the studio we see belongs one of the musicians on Team RM.

Did you just Rocky Raccoon us @ 55:54?

I hated the swear words when I first heard them from the mouths of my beloved bulletproof boy scouts. I’m used to it now but really don’t like it. Part of what I loved about them was their not having to resort to profanity. Obviously they must have felt limited by not using profanity. Suga being the exception… he hasn’t held back in the past… I just hadn’t heard it until recently! Regardless, I still love these guys in spite of f words thrown in! They are still beautiful inside and out!
