    The song "Groin," taken from RM's newly released album "Right Place, Wrong Person," now has a music video (MV) available. The music video was released on Monday, May 27, and shows RM dancing and rapping in the streets while sporting a dark Adidas track jacket. The song's lyrics and overall quality were highly appreciated by BTS followers, known as ARMY, shortly after the video went viral.

    However, it was even more interesting to note that Kim Namjoon's work was also well-received by local hip-hop and rap fans, who normally don't follow BTS. Many people even stated that the song had a nostalgic feel reminiscent of the 2000s.

    "Right Place, Wrong Person" has 11 new tracks for fans to enjoy amid BTS' military obligations. Led by the dreamy single "Come Back to Me", the album also features alternative-based songs like "Nuts," "Heaven," "LOST!" and more. RM topped Billboard's latest weekly new music poll, which features artists from various music genres. 

    According to a BigHit news release, the project reflects "a raw and honest presentation of RM’s distinctive sensibility, aesthetics, and beliefs." This follows the South Korean artist’s 2022 debut album, "Indigo," which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

    The album also includes collaborations with British rapper-singer Little Simz ("Domodachi") and singer-guitarist Moses Sumney ("Around the World in a Day"). 

    "Come Back to Me" features lyrics by RM and contributions from OHHYUK of the South Korean band HYUKOH, Kuo of the Taiwanese band Sunset Rollercoaster on guitar and bass, as well as singer-songwriter JNKYRD and San Yawn of Balming Tiger.
