And that&#8217;s been a long time coming for Bay Area K-Pop fans, as BTS&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/sfist.com\/2020\/01\/22\/bts-is-coming-to-levis-stadium-in-april\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 2020 show scheduled for Levi\u2019 Stadium<\/a> was of course scuttled by an <a href=\"https:\/\/sfist.com\/2020\/03\/16\/lockdown-arrives-shelter-in-place-orders-go-in-effect-at-midnight\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">extremely unpleasant global pandemic<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those BTS tickets at Stanford are going for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stubhub.com\/bts-stanford-tickets-5-16-2026\/event\/160262168\/?lt=37.427467&amp;lg=-122.1702445&amp;backUrl=%2Fbts-tickets%2Fperformer%2F1503185&amp;quantity=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">minimum of well over $300 a pop<\/a>. But there\u2019s a more affordable BTS experience looming later in 2026 for BTS Army enlistees, as KRON4 reports that BTS rapper RM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kron4.com\/news\/bay-area\/k-pop-icons-art-exhibit-coming-to-san-francisco\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is getting an art exhibition display at SFMOMA<\/a> starting this October. <\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will be called RM x SFMOMA, and the artwork itself is not by RM, but SFMOMA says the exhibition \u201cbrings together 200 works from the collections of RM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe live in an age defined by boundaries,\u201d RM said in a press release announcing the display. \u201cThis exhibition at SFMOMA reflects those boundaries: between East and West, Korea and America, the modern and the contemporary, the personal and the universal. I don\u2019t want to prescribe how these works should be seen; whether out of curiosity or study, all perspectives are welcome. My only hope is that this exhibition can be a small but sturdy bridge for many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit will debut on October 3, and is scheduled to run through February 7, 2027. And it\u2019s a pretty rare and special exhibit, and KRON4 reports that \u201cRM\u2019s collection at the SFMOMA will be the only presentation in the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of South Korean art, the display will feature works by Yun Hyong-keun, Park Rehyun, Kwon Okyon, Kim Yun Shin, To Sangbong, and Chang Ucchin, among others.<\/p>\n<p>SFMOMA has not yet announced any ticketing information for the four-month exhibition. <\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sfist.com\/2025\/09\/25\/de-young-museum-to-host-americas-first-ever-manga-museum-exhibition-starting-this-saturday\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">De Young Museum to Host America\u2019s First Ever Manga Museum Exhibition, Starting This Saturday [SFist]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; APRIL 03: RM of BTS attends the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
