I love how Namjoon is the first K-pop ambassador I've seen who actually does ambassador work (not a model) and who fits the style of the brand and doesn't just occupy that position because he's famous.
Namjoon in Indigo: Me no hero, me no villain
Namjoon in RPWP: It's my fucking business, you bitches stop, don't talk shit
You can't blame him, the man tried to say it in a nicer way but they don't understand🤭
@2muchgoingon
Exactly, kpopers live very happily in their world of "companies don't give them creative freedom, it's not the idols' fault, they can't do it", and suddenly Namjoon comes and does all that, showing that it is possible but it takes talent...
NJ's life is a movie, because how is it possible that this man is so perfect that he is forced to enlist in a horrible place (ms) but he ends up being part of something as beautiful as a band?
Army must accept that Namjoon is a role model for many people in SK: he is cultured, educated, knows how to lead, is an excellent speaker and a great artist. Why does that bother armys? because it's the kind of prestige they want for other members
It's great how more than a month after its release, RPWP continues to receive praise and articles about the album continue to appear when usually, in K-pop, albums are forgotten after 15 days (the time the intense promotion lasts)
nj is in a very strange position as an artist: the world of kpop has always turned its back on him and his music is not in line with what that public likes but he is not completely "indie" either (due to his status as a member of bts)
What Younha says is the confirmation of why idols find it difficult to approach NJ for collabs. NJ is very detailed, if you are going to work with him you will do it seriously. And that can often be intimidating.
In a interview (2020), Younha said that working with RM was very memorable and praised his works ethics.
She also said RM played a big role in the depth of ‘Winter Flower’, by creating a lot of details, and she was very grateful to him about that.
👩🏻 He's very, very detailed.
I just saw a music critic from my country say that RPWP is the album that is furthest from the commercial side of BTS and that it is great to see established artists taking risks with their work. I think he perfectly defined what RPWP is.
ARMY has been canceling namjoon for years, everything he does is wrong. The man could collaborate with a Nobel Peace Prize winner and they would find something to criticize him for. So don't waste energy...they will do it anyway
armys relationship with nj is very strange because they don't listen to his music, even some openly despise him, but as soon as someone says he can leave bts they get angry. Deep down they know that bts without nj is just a mediocre kpop bg...
namjoon, the one with the best chapter 2 album, praised by music critics and who does not need validation from 16-year-old girls with less musical taste than a cockroach
Army's silence regarding the success that RPWP is having with specialized critics is incredible. Any other member farts and they already trend "Congratulations X, your fart smells beautiful", but with all this, silence. They clearly don't want him to succeed
no, they don't find him scary. They have respect for him. Korean society is very rigorous about how you approach other people. NJ is not only a senior, he is the artist upon whom hybe is founded. And he is also a person who takes his job seriously.
Do ppl find namjoon scary? Juniors dont approach him, even lee hyun said he doesnt joke around him, even after he clearlt said he'd do tiktok challenge if soobin asks but didnt. Then in his interview he says he isnt serious all the time. I feel bad for him.
It's funny how nj always ends up being on the year-end lists chosen by specialized critics and the supposed "great albums/songs" according to army are completely absent.
This happens because Army listens to and gives massive exposure to the worst songs, causing the stereotype of BTS as "radio pop songs" to continue expanding. Namjoon has been giving you everything to grow for years, you guys are stuck on kpop and bubblegum
Seriously speaking, it seems like a great way to close the era. Let it not go unnoticed that while he is on TV singing "When the credits roll do you hang tight?", people are eating without looking at him....😶

@BTS_twt
@BIGHIT_MUSIC
Does this really not raise any kind of concern in the fandom? There is nothing that makes them ask some questions...? Really? Nothing? Not even the slightest?
NJ's album does not have a different style than BTS. The soul of nj is in all the great creations of bts, of the real bts, the bts whose songs meant something, the bts that had something to say. And they had something to say because nj had something to say
@endedbyyoongi
@Evelyn17037604
Which chapter 2 were you in? Nam's album was successful, it has even been named the best album of the year by various specialized media. Obviously it has a different style than BTS as a group.
Please never do something like this with NJ 🤦🏻♀️
In fact, I hope he has an easy ms being a simple soldier without any leadership or responsibility for anything. That man needs to stop carrying people on his shoulders at least for a while.
It seems logical that an aspiring singer would listen to music but then I remember that this is kpop, the only thing that matters is being cute and dancing. And here comes NJ making these cute people listen to good music. It's funny but very meaningful.
Sometimes I wonder how jealous that fandom must have been when he gave his speech at the UN but they couldn't say anything because they were still pretending to be ot7.
Will there ever be a time when this fandom stops repeating ridiculous clichés? book smart? street smart?? Namjoon is book smart, street smart, music smart, words smart, cool smart, interesting smart, funny smart and talented smart.
Maturing is realizing the Kim line screams sexy brains. Namjoon is book smart, Jin is street smart , and Taehyung is actually both book smart & street smart.
i remember when army wanted to sabotage this account because it was not official and there was no way to make them understand that BV is not like other tacky luxury brands they are used to.
Reading this gave me a bittersweet feeling. She was hesitant to work with him because he came from "Kpop" and leaving that label behind is precisely what NJ fights for with his work. The name of the album never seemed more appropriate to me.

as one of the producers of 'Right Place, Wrong Person':
“I was approached by RM to produce a project. I've always avoided collaborating in the K-pop field because I felt like I wouldn't be able to do it well due to my
Kpopers' reaction to nj is understandable. If you spend all day listening to an idol who doesn't even know how to speak/think for themselves, then when you meet one who does know, you can't understand what's happening. Thier brain can't process it.
namjoon just released an album less than a week ago saying he's not a diplomat, asking them to stop making demands on him and to fuck off. But clearly they don't listen to him.
I ask you a favor... please don't start fighting with certain fandoms over CBTM's position on the Korean charts. Nj has no support from karmy, he never had it and never will. forget about MelOn and all that...
x member does a small thing, armys: x paved the way
Namjoon does something significant and recognized by those involved, army: well but it's not exactly like that they were actually already very popular.
I would like army to demand things from V, Jungkook, Suga, Jhope, Jimin and Jin with the same intensity with which they demand things from Nj. The level of demand from the fandom is inversely proportional to the level of support that the member receives.
nj is one of the few idols who talks about his feelings but receives hate for it. It is understandable that idols are afraid to speak. Luckily, NJ found a group outside of that toxic world that, contrary to the norm, encourages him to express himself.
people who love music appreciating namjoon's recommendations.
kpopers: "he recommended a song that says the word "poop" he is a rude person who hates people who shit"
I'm seeing people saying goodbye until 2025. HELLO?? Did you forget about "RM 2024"?? You guys better stay for that project because Army is not going to give a shit (if they didn't support him when he was present now the support will be zero)
apparently someone in a reaction video made the "mistake" of thinking that nj is a vocalist and army is not going to forgive him and they even fight among themselves...🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes I feel like Army treats Namjoon's "leader" position as if it consisted of being part of the "staff". As if he were a person who does not have a solo career himself but rather his role is to be a leader of others, like a manager or a camera assistant
When I read army comments that are defensive towards people complimenting NJ, I realize that army does not support him but at the same time they are PANIC at the possibility of him leaving the group...
I love when army gives the excuse that NJ's albums aren't for the charts because they are directly insulting the other members who apparently do make albums for the charts. And... is there anything more mediocre than that?
@ultramarineJoon
I believe the album was more for him to express himself than for the charts. People outside of the fandom appreciating his music is just a plus and that makes me respect him more as an artist.
It's time for the fandom to accept that what they like is performance, shows, dances and everything else that kpopers love. Music and art is the least important so they should put aside that moral superiority they have because they are kpopers.
I don't give a damn about all this, I just want to know when Namjoon will be able to post his achievements again like a normal person without worrying about the stupid things others did...
hahahaha nj? the person who was already famous before starting bts? the person around whom bang PD created bts? the person who is so admired that even his own government takes him as an ambassador?
Suddenly I realized that Indigo's anniversary passed and we didn't have a re-release of the album. Nj continues to show that he is different from the rest and that he is very clear about his ideas about music and the excess of merch/sales in K-pop.
Why is so hard for army to accept that they like the idol, beyond the music? If the ML releases a song in the least popular genre in the world, they will stream it because they like THE IDOL regardless of what they do. And they DON'T like nj (as a person)
I always wonder what army would have to quote if it wasn't for namjoon. He is the only one who makes interesting comments and not just empty comments with words like "love" "army" "thank you" and "capitalism".
Namjoon is a rapper but before that he is an artist. Artists evolve, experience new things and are continually creating. You can't always be making diss tracks and insulting capitalism like army likes...sometimes you have to move forward...
to those saying na they don't like the new release and would rather have him spitting bars and doing rap.... to love someone is to attend a thousand births of who they're becoming :) you can't lock him in a frame, he's moving
The tracklist came out an hour ago and they are already comparing it to Indigo. Each and every one of the projects was compared to Indigo but the reality is that they are very far from being Indigo....stop trying
I remember when Sg told NJ that he was brave for releasing a 4m song in 2/3 min song times. Well...nj now is like: "yeah, and look, I'll also throw you a 6 minute song, bitch"
When I see the sales of other members having multiple versions and with remixes that bought in quantity count as 1 sale of an album I realize that Indigo sold very well
K-Pop not only offers us catchy tunes to dance along to, but it also offers cohesive projects to properly immerse ourselves into.

Everything NJ does is in line with his personality and art. That is difficult to achieve and angers those who need a creative team to tell them what the new concept is (today it is "good 90s boy" and tomorrow will be "vampire from the 3rd century").
Every day that passes I am more happy with the promotion of indigo. No dance practice or tiktoks, no "alternative covers" at 1 dollar to chat, just good music. All mature, grown up and in line with NJ way of thinking.
For my mental health I stopped looking at stream numbers, I stopped following accounts that are dedicated to that and I try to ignore the issue. Clearly it's something that's not going to change so why get depressed over something you can't stop?
armys spent 10 years laughing at other kpop groups for not writing their songs and now they have to resort to all kinds of excuses to defend the members who debuted without writing a word. Karma is no longer an army...
Armys always give clout to tweets made by ML solo accounts (followed by thousands) and everything is fine but suddenly someone says something good and REAL about NJ and being a solo is a problem 😏
namjoon does something to show that he es an amazing and unique artist
Armys: "yeh yeh nice, but did you notice that there are 6 moisture stains on the wall? Awwwwwwwwww"
right now i wish nj would wait until the last day allowed to enter to the ms like two members did before. And that he spends his entire 2024 going to concerts, making music and making the lives of his haters miserable.
so he still doesn't have that more "selective" audience that surely considers him an "idol" (with all the negative that that implies). His music is excellent but he doesn't fit into any of the little boxes the industry has.
