In the photo in question, RM took a photo with a ceramic vase and then the photo spread widely on social networks. Not only that, RM is also known to own a ceramic artwork by artist Kwon Dae-seop.
Lee Kwang-gi went on to share that after RM owned Kwon Dae-seop's artwork, Bill Gates bought two of them and it became a hot topic. Bill Gates said the reason he wanted to buy them was because he was very interested in кσяєαn ceramics recently.
