Kpop star RM has already drawn a crowd to San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and his show does not even open until Saturday.
Dozens of his fans lined the streets earlier this week when the BTS singer attended a private media launch including one couple who told the San Francisco Chronicle they had traveled from London in the hope of catching a glimpse of him.
The singer told reporters he was "nervous" about making his curatorial debut with the show of work from his own collection, adding that he felt "guilty" about collecting.
He said: "Like, do I really need to carry so many unnecessary things that I don’t even need? Have I ended up becoming just a boring rich snore? Well, maybe. But I thought it would be nice if other people could see those as well.”
SFMOMA, where his show runs from October 3 to February 7, is not the only museum to benefit from his generosity - it was recently announced he has given 100 million Korean won ($74,000) to the National Museum of Korea in Seoul to buy new works.
