I can’t be the only one who is loving RM’s photo dumps lately, right Peachy? It feels like he’s going to drop his album any day now.

Ask 2: Peachy, sorry one more thing! What do you think the theme of RM’s new album will be? Do you think he draws any real music inspiration from the art and stuff he posts about? Will he draw from it in his new ep?

Oh, I’m absolutely living for it. Joon is such a sweetheart and sometimes it kills me that he’s my bias because I struggle, genuinely struggle, to talk about him.

Which brings me to your second ask. Recently, a kind person from Tumblr (KPFT), sent me this link. I hope that snippet gives you a glimpse into what Korean art means for him and how it impacts others around him.

If you hear the way my Korean professor talks about Joon, you’d think he parted the Red Sea and turned water into wine or something. But a lot of Korean people, regular people and those in the arts, have a huge respect for Namjoon because he’s genuinely all about it. He loves Korea, loves Korean art, and wants to amplify the voices of Korean women and men. And the best part of it, at least for me, is that I’ve watched him for years to see how almost all his knowledge is self-taught. It’s a true passion for him and he’s changed the lives of so many people (Korean publishers, artists and authors) in the process.

He’s flawed, obviously, like we all are, but everything I’ve observed in him for the last 12 years reinforces for me that he’s a remarkably decent man.

I expect to see more Korean art influences in RM4. His photo dumps recently make me wonder if we’ll get more retro genres or something more avant garde. Joon seems to have a preference for alt-hiphop with heavy bass lines like we hear in Joke and Sexy Nukim, but he’s also a softie for stripped back acoustic pieces. I don’t know what we’ll get but I do know it will be inspired by his experiences and the music will be good. As always.

From now onwards I propose we refer to Namjoon only as “snarling Greek god beauty”.

Per this comment from an ARMY under Namjoon’s post:
