this. "armys" forced so many activist labels on bts just to feel superior. now it’s backfiring because people expect them to be perfect political figures instead of just musicians. we created these fake standards and now we're mad they don't fit them? crazy.

I get it why every bts fan artist only draw Taehyung with pretty eyelashes.

I think RM felt uneasy with what the Love Yourself era had become. In 2021, he told Zach Sang that when they first reached BB in 2017, they thought Love Yourself might be their direction for “half a decade or 4-5 years.” Instead, “it ended really soon, like in 2 years”

In his Persona behind, he explained that the LY message had become too grand & that things were becoming “too big for us to handle.” They deliberately turned inward and toward “smaller things”

On The Dictionary of Useless Human Knowledge, he shared, “There was a time when BTS had become representatives for minorities around the world.” He found this “extremely confusing.” He had simply been saying what he wanted to say, yet their support helped carry them to places like the UN & the White House. He questioned whether he was qualified for that position & whether believing he possessed some moral or social mission demanded by the times might be arrogant

And I understand the temptation to put him on a pedestal. He asks profound questions. Some of the ideas he’s been working through for years about identity, love, art, contradiction & how to live are enlightening. It’s easy to start expecting him to be a role model or even President

But he’s resisted this framing for years. When asked how he reconciled his identities as RM & Kim Namjoon, he replied, “I don’t have the answer”

He had ended the Love Yourself tour with a similar answer. More than 2 years after the start of the tour, he confessed that he still didn’t really know if he loved himself

He put it even more bluntly in Groin:
“I can’t be a monk”
“Not a f— diplomat”

Rejecting the assumptions that he knew or could represent something beyond himself

I think this comes back to the role of the artist in society. Artists experience life, notice things & make something from it. Their work can move people, help us see ourselves like a mirror & preserve a moment so others can encounter it years later. Almost like time travel. But making art & being articulate about the human condition does not make him a saint

He’s been saying this for years. He doesn’t have the answers. He questions his right to represent others. He’s trying to protect his own humanity. He wants to keep making music

This sounds like a very human artist to me

[rian⁷ (new account) @taejoonsrkive]

no denying that joon has saved me & many others, but it's high time people stop treating him like a therapist or some activist. he doesn't have to answer every question of yours. he neither has to heal all your traumas nor does he have to do shit for you. love him for who he is.

BTS’ 'ARIRANG' has now sold over 1 million pure copies in the US.

It’s the first album released in 2026 to achieve this milestone.
