[The Hollywood Reporter] ‘Beef’ Creator on Forming “Korean Avengers” for RM Music Video and Watching BTS Member Bounce Back After Accident on Set – 110524

> “I was really surprised because it [had] such a different aesthetic and tone and a different side of RM that I hadn’t seen before,” he adds. “RM is known for his rapping, obviously all things BTS and I’m a huge BTS fan. I saw him at the Rose Bowl so I was like, ‘OK, I know he’s going a different direction’ and I knew that going in, but I had no idea it was this kind of direction. It was so refreshing and unexpected and I got so excited at the idea of coming up with a music video for a song like that.”

> Q: There’s a good amount of acting in this video — what was it like working with RM in that aspect?

> A: You’re always a little nervous when you’re working with these giant global superstars. Are they going to want to rehearse? Are they going to take notes? RM was game for everything. He was there for long hours. **First take of the very first scene, he bent down and his head hit the camera and it was a giant gash on his eye and immediately I thought, “Oh great, I’m going to be deported immediately because I’ve just scratched this national treasure.” To his credit, he went to the hospital, got stitched up, came back and he was ready to go.** He was so versatile and open to direction and I think he was also pushing me. He would come and check the monitor and be like, “Oh, I think we can get that one a little bit better.” He has an incredible team behind him too.
