'미술애호가' 방탄소년단 RM, 미술책 보급에 1억원 기부
BTS singer RM has donated close to 85-thousand U.S. dollars to a local art museum.
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art revealed on Monday that the rapper chose the occasion of his birthday to donate the cash to help spread the culture of reading about art and helping young people develop their own artistic taste.
RM turned 26 over the weekend.
The money will go toward buying 4-thousand art books and distributing them to some 4-hundred public libraries, especially those in rural, mountainous areas where museums and galleries are few and far between.
