Calling all ARMYs — this Art Skool session traces a thread from a museum wall to your headphones: Korean painter Yun Hyong-keun, whose soaked, bleeding umber-and-ultramarine paintings shaped RM's 2022 album Indigo, right down to the cover art and its opening track, named simply "Yun." We'll share Yun's story over Korean pastries from Jina Bakes, RM's music playing throughout.

You'll paint in Yun's own two pigments, using prompts drawn from his philosophy and RM's reflections on art and life — no skill needed, we're painting a feeling, not a picture. Part art history, part studio time, part fan pilgrimage, in anticipation of RM x SFMOMA, opening October 3.

A series of beginner-friendly sessions exploring the artists, histories, and ideas at the heart of the RM x SFMOMA exhibit. These programs offer an easy, welcoming space to gather a few meaningful entry points before stepping into the exhibition itself.

RM has described his hope for the exhibition as “a small but sturdy bridge for many.” SturdyBridge Art Skool was created in that same spirit — the belief that fans of RM and BTS can approach this moment with curiosity, context, and care.
