This premiere marks the first time a K-pop documentary was invited to the Open Cinema section of the festival. The film was highly praised by BIFF who described it as "a making-of-album film and a very special journal of youth."
While the festival was disturbed by heavy rains, fans and audiences did not refrain from attending the premiere at the outdoor theatre to show their support for the idol. The film's director, Lee Seok Joon, assistant director, Im Soo Bin, music director, Junkyard (JNKYRD) and the contributors to RM's album including Balming Tiger's San Yawn and Jang Se Hun appeared on the stage before the premiere to greet the enthusiastic audience.
Director Lee described the film as "a deep record of RM's inner self and a reflection of emotions that everyone has felt at some point in life." The production team also expressed their gratitude as they said, "We're thankful to be able to share RM's journey in such a special setting. We want to congratulate RM and the audience on this occasion," as reported by All Kpop.
The film focuses on the artist's eight-month-long journey of creating the album. It features him as the BTS leader as well as a solo artist, capturing his raw emotions and candid moments of him as a person.
After a successful premiere night at BIFF, the film will be released worldwide in December for a global audience.
