Tablo said that #RM likes to talk things over while working and that this impacted the way he works now, even after 20 years of career: “I’ve never had so many conversations about a project as with this one. It’s even influenced the way I work with Epik High slightly.”

[ENG-SUB] 250610 RM's military discharge speech. 🔗youtube.com/watch?v=C6LsYe… WELCOME BACK RM #ReturnOfOurJooniverse RM IS FINALLY BACK

Something so special about Namjoon being so happy and playful after 18 months in the military. Nothing can ever stop the softness he carries with him always

🐨I'm just going to make the music that the world needs and that i need 🐨I wish you would trust me a little.

Thinking about what Namjoon said during his live, about how much pain he was/is in, how it’s been a constant struggle but also how he’s starting anew, it makes me think of this one quote in Beloved by Toni Morrison: “It's gonna hurt, now…Anything dead coming back to life hurts.”

The way Namjoon quite literally IS art

seoul IS that song and everyone who disagrees is just plain wrong. The moment I heard ‘I’m leaving you, I’m living you’ I knew. Only someone like Namjoon could cut to the heart of the matter so deeply, so effortlessly, so gently.

🔥

“What colour are you?” Namjoon asks and I honestly don’t know. I think most days it’s a combination of blue and grey - slightly pensive and melancholy. At my happiest I think my colour is raw sienna. But I think what I want to be is green. It feels like the colour of contentment.

“Don’t take away the name that only you know” “I see grass growing in winter’s eyes” “I’m happy where the devils are” “you are my pain divine” “I’m leaving you, I’m living you” “Everything is the same thing, but with different name. It's life again”

It’s articles like these that really emphasise how much of a different league Namjoon is compared to his peers. To label him as only a kpop idol is extremely disingenuous. He’s a cultural icon.

words can’t even begin to describe the proudness i have over namjoon!!

When he said, “Culture is like a river. It flows freely, just as streams, sometimes coming together in harmony, just like K-pop… coming together to carry itself far away and create something new,” I completely lost it. I can’t even fathom how beautifully he expressed that 🥹

The Korean industry is so lucky to have an artist like kim namjoon no one is doing it like him, he's the moment, he's the culture.

He looks like a king touring his kingdom 🙂‍↕️
