Below is RM's answer and fans will see how sophisticated he is:

Fashion magazine Dazed has released a photo set, an interview and three cover photos of RM's October issue. The photos immediately caught the attention of the online community with his unique hairstyle and outfit.

Starting with attending Bottega Veneta's winter 2023 show held in Milan last February, RM has actively promoted the brand's unique aesthetic and heritage as an ambαssador for Bottega Veneta. So it's no wonder that in the pictorial, RM wears Bottega Veneta's winter 2023 collection, showing off matching outfits like a suit in the brand's iconic silhouette: a patterned turtleneck Attractive graphics, wool jackets and leather pants.

Through this photo, RM demonstrates a unique presence by embracing the past, present and future of Bottega Veneta, rooted in its craftsmanship. In particular, it is said that his never-before-revealed blue hair created elegant synergy with the realistic setting in Bonega Veneta's pictorial and collection, making netizens constantly praise him.

In this pictorial, RM chose a unique blue hair color that has never been shown before and attracted attention with the shortest haircut ever. RM's image transformation is complete with impeccable style and intense eyes, attracting attention.

But with this short hairstyle as if he was about to enlist, RM also made many people speculate whether he was preparing to enlist or not. Luckily, in an interview with Dazed Magazine, he shared the reason why he appeared with short hair: "I think the last time I had hair this short was when I was in high school. I wanted to face myself as I am," he said. "In some ways, it may be because it is the most relaxed hairstyle, but when I look at the pictorial I shot, I think the clothes are more visible."

Clearly, it was RM's artistic intention and he really achieved it. It can be seen that with his artistic eyes, RM knows how to express his personality as well as to match the brand he is representing.

When asked about RM's current status as a solo artist, he also said, "I'm breaking and mixing up all the rules that I've set so far. One thing I want to keep it 'the one who emerges in the end must be me.' It's a process to figure out what it is, but in the end, I guess we'll find out. This time I want to do a great job with all my heart and soul. I will do it,” he said, expressing his belief.

Meanwhile, many of RM's pictorials and interviews can be found on the October issue of Dazed, the official website and SNS channels!
