the meaning of “love myself, love yourself” - when namjoon almost fucked up and told us about the new album

namjoon turns into an absolute marshmallow whenever a fan is being cute to him and it’s so endearing to see him get shy over being appreciated by fans 💓

Ima jus leave this here👅🌝

namjoon ily

also just thought i’d point it out that tae was at a railway train 

that is heading to ilsan while namjoon was on the bus 

that is heading to daegu. ilsan is namjoon’s real hometown and daegu is tae’s real hometown so yeah um

please take a second to appreciate namjoon yall. he’s spoken clearly and confidently in each interview, he’s translated for the boys and has made sure to include everyone and keep their image fun and playful while still being very professional… he represents bts so beautifully and i am so immensely proud of this man for how hard he’s worked and how far hes come. he truly is an amazing leader

I’m honestly so proud of our boys but I’m more proud of Namjoon. He’s shown that he really can carry the role of the leader in many aspects but especially guide BTS with this language barrier and all these interviews where he’s been translating and speaking on behalf of the boys :’)

namjoon appreciation

if you haven’t heard his song always yet… check it out. anyway it’s time for a namjoon appreciation because army needs to know how much he’s done for us

1. Namjoon began BTS

namjoon was the first member of BTS and the inspiration behind the group – a hip hop group

2. Namjoon always puts BTS first

like the main rappers of boy groups such as Zico, Jay Park, TOP, GD, Mino, Bobby, etc. he very much has the capability to do a lot of solo work and be very successful. instead he puts BTS first and all solo work like his mixtape are put back in importance.

3. He’s recognized widely for his talent

so most recently there’s american rapper wale who is going to collab with joon

in 2015 rapper Krizz Kaliko joined Namjoon on his mixtape RM

and said mixtape made Spin’s Top Hip Hop Albums of 2015

rap LEGEND Warren G produced a song for Namjoon called P.D.D

and he had A LOT of praise for him after their collab

in korea, Namjoon was recognized by the arguably one of the greatest sk rap groups, MFBTY. He was featured in their song “buckubucku” and had a cameo in the music video for Bang Diggy Bang Bang. In addition, Tiger JK of MFBTY praised Namjoon saying

4. Namjoon is very hardworking and intelligent

first of all, joon is hella smart

he even taught himself to speak english in MIDDLE SCHOOL – no teacher! – so that he could take the TOIEC test (english speaking test). He achieved a 900 out of 990 possible.

5. Namjoon cares a LOT about ARMY

he always takes the time to thank international armys in english

he always sends tons of tweets out to inspire and comfort armys who might feel sad or defeated. BUT OKAY how kind is he? he’s constantly criticized and disrespected by army and antis alike and he suffers from depression YET he still will consistently takes to twitter to try to give his fans words of advice and encouragement. he wants us all to be happy and he cares so deeply! yet armys read these posts and make fun of him for being “fake philosophical”. im done with most of yall

or the lyrics from his track “Do You” 

(cred https://btsdiary.com/2015/03/20/lyricsromeng-rap-monster-do-you/)

6. He’s really fucking handsome and he has A+ taste in fashion

(legssss)

please love and care for joonie!!! hes an angel and he needs protection

also look forward to his new mixtape, projected to come out sometime 2017

Rap Monster isn’t quite as problematic as everyone likes to think

(He’s still problematic tho)

I’m writing this post because of the disproportionate amount of hate Namjoon (Rap Monster) gets for his mistakes compared to other idols, including the other members of BTS. I’ll explain what I mean by this later in the post. It’s difficult to look into a comment section about BTS or Rap Monster and not see a comment about how problematic RM is (will also explain this later in the post). Sometimes it’s just antis being antis, and I don’t care about that, but I also see fans of BTS bringing it up too, whether it’s relevant to the article being posted or not. So I wanted to write this post to try and explain to other fans of BTS why I think RM shouldn’t have to deal with people posting his unrelated problematic actions on every single article about him; relevant or not.

And before I even get into the post, I want to clarify that I’m NOT excusing his actions or saying we should forget about them; he’s done what he’s done and there’s no denying that. Also, don’t send hate to or think lowly of any of the groups/people mentioned in this post. Everyone is problematic; don’t send anyone hate for it

Rapmon is adorable and deserves all the love in the world

what a beautiful day to love kim namjoon

[TRANS] 170103 V Live - Namjoon talking about “Always”

Recently I released a song called “Always”. The reason I released it is because I’m not in that state anymore, so I can release it. I’m no longer in that state like in the lyrics. Originally when I wrote that song, I didn’t plan to release it, I thought “Would this state continue to last? Would blaming the world make me get better?”, so I intended not to release it. But I released it now as I’m no longer in that state written in the lyrics. That song is a good-bye to the sorrowful me of that time. 

Why? It’s because after the not so pretty incident, I had been thinking a lot. When someone said not so nice things to me, or not so nice feedbacks, criticism, accusation, I was like that at first. “Why? Why?” I didn’t think I could cause somebody inconvenience, or make somebody uncomfortable. Since I was young, I have been studying hard, making music diligently on my own, performing, playing games, my life only revolved around those things. At school, I was well-behaved and good at study too, so my teachers always liked me, and I had never had a big fight with my friends. I have never once thought my music, my words could hurt someone, or make them uncomfortable. But I had that thought for the first time in 2016. “Oh, so the words I say, the actions I do, no matter what my intentions are, could hurt someone or cause them inconvenience. I have to take responsibility for that. Once I did something there’s no going back.” 

It was hard and took a long time to accept that I can hurt someone. I hated having to accept that I was wrong. Rather than I was wrong, it was harder to accept that I could cause that to someone. I was tired, since I had never been through such thing. 

If at first, when hearing those things, I would think “Why? I did like this with this purpose,” but now, my mind and my state have gotten much better. Now when I hear things, or even if I receive accusation and criticism, I would think about why that person thought like that, at which part I was wrong, which part made people uncomfortable, which part received criticism. I can’t go into all details, but I thought that if I want to become a better person, I have to take responsibility for what I do, I have to change my way of thinking. I learned how to listen to opinions from many people. When I do something, I would think “People may think like this.”
