Las nuevas generaciones jamás sabrán el sentimiento que tuvimos cuando vimos por primera vez como Mang se sacaba la máscara revelando su verdadero rostro, ese día lloramos todos 😭
For all the new ARMYs who don’t understand why ARMYs are crying on tl and saying "Namjoon has changed," these photos might give you a glimpse of the Joon we knew. 💙
Namjoon used to be so incredibly active. He shared pieces of his everyday life with us; his new phone wallpaper, tattoos, the burned hole in his pants, songs he loved, passages from books, places he visited, his gym routine, mirror selfies, his studio moments, silly moments with friends… even the smallest, most ordinary things. We were so spoiled by getting his attention and his several stories every day.
He used to write deep, philosophical, sometimes painfully beautiful and romantic letters on Weverse. He would go live and simply yap with us about anything and everything for a long time. He’d spam Weverse comments and reply to countless ARMYs within minutes.
He let us into his world because he though ARMYs are his safe people and wanted to share his life with us.
But as the fandom grew, some people stopped appreciating that trust. They twisted his words, dragged him over every little thing, turned innocent moments into scandals, and created fantasies that had nothing to do with reality.
And now some of the same people are crying, "Joon has changed so much"
Yes. He changed.
But before asking, What happened to Namjoon, maybe ask yourselves:
What happened to the environment and fandom that made him feel safe enough to share himself with us in the first place?
Because sometimes people don’t become distant because they stopped caring. Sometimes they become quiet because being vulnerable became too painful. 💔
Namjoon is slowly taking pieces of himself away from us and honestly, some people who call themselves ARMY are the reason.
He used to recommend songs regularly. Then some mfs created a whole drama out of something that didn’t even exist, and he stopped.
He used to post little pieces of his everyday life, his friends, the places he went, the things he enjoyed. Then people started creating disgusting, completely imaginary narratives out of his innocent posts, and he pulled back. Now, when he posts, it’s only once in a while and sometimes he doesn’t even show his face.all he posts is the photos of art works or museums.
He used to come on Weverse Live, talk to us, laugh with us, and share his thoughts and feelings. Then people started twisting his words, deliberately misinterpreting everything he said, and creating drama.
And now look at where we are.
He is taking himself away from us more and more because he knows there are people waiting for every little thing he says or does just so they can twist it, weaponize it, attack him, and turn something beautiful into another fucking scandal.
And who loses?
US.
The people who genuinely love him. The people who want nothing from him except for him to be happy, safe, and himself.
It genuinely wouldn’t surprise me if one day he stopped going Live altogether, stopped sharing his life, or even closed his Instagram just to protect his own peace.
And if that day comes, remember: you didn’t lose access to Namjoon. You pushed him away.
Real ARMYs should be his safe place, not another reason for him to hide. He deserves to exist without being punished for being human. And real ARMYs should be the safest place for him to do that.
بكيت كلام نامجون هنا 🥺❤️
🐨: جميعكم تعرفون هذا، أليس كذلك؟ أعتقد أنكم تعرفون كيف أنظر إليكم، وكيف أحاول أن أُدير حياتي. فإذا كنتم من الأشخاص الذين تابعوني وراقبوا مسيرتي طوال هذه السنوات، لأكثر من عشر سنوات، فأظن أنكم تعرفون ذلك..+
THIS IS WHY THEY WROTE "NORMAL"
🐨: "Normal is a very sad song. I wrote the lyrics in Korean and then changed it to English for radio and stuff, but yeah, there is a Korean version of Normal"
🐨: "One day you love me, one day you say you hate me fine make me bulletproof, so that I won't die even if you shoot me. There was this keyword of Normal. But what is normal for us? As we live as BTS what is the normal for me? Someday people tell me that they love me and the other day they tell me to get lost just like a very toxic couple. People put us high 1000 times and pull down 1000 times too"
🐨: "Wish I had a min just to turn me off"
Fine this is the life that I've chosen and all mistakes are mine but I can think about having a min of shutting off from the people. This doesn't mean that I wanna give up on my life but I can hope for people to forget me for a moment. I think that's the feeling behind writing this lyrics. Now that I see this song is really sad too"
🐨: ""Fantasy and fame yeah the things we choose"
We're accepting that we've chosen this fame"
they were so excited for their first grammy nomination, they went from this somewhat innocent excitement and anticipation to realizing how fucked up the industry is towards them
