   Kim Namjoon, we know him as RM, the leader of BTS. To keep focus on this amazing human, I will let him introduce himself. In his speech to the United Nations on 24th of September, 2018 he described himself. "I would like to begin by talking about myself. I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea..."

"I was just an ordinary boy. I would look up at the night sky in wonder and dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero, saving the world.... "

"Looking back, that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes..."

"Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others."

"I had one sanctuary, and that was music...  But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name."

"Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were hurdles. Most people thought we were hopeless. Sometimes, I just wanted to quit..."

   Yes, strong and confident RM was bullied and slandered by his peers. In 2013 when, Suga and RM appeared on Kim Bong Hyun’s Hip-Hop Invitational 1st Anniversary Broadcast. A fellow rapper said. "You guys could have taken the road towards becoming rappers, but you couldn’t beat that temptation. Is BTS’s music hip hop? Is wearing makeup on stage like a girl hip-hop?" BTS as a group endured criticism and disappointnents from the very beginning of their young careers.

   July 2015 BTS concert, "The Red Bullet" in NY was abruptly stopped because of death threats towards RM. Again on July 29 in Mexico RM received another death threat. As one of the main lyricists, RM accepted the blame for misogyny in their songs lyrics. RM was quoted as saying, “The most controversial things came from what I wrote. I thought ‘I was so ignorant’.

   RM became depressed after this. But, he went to correct his errors with positive actions. He read lots of newspapers and books to study social phenomena. After he finished writing lyrics, he would get experts such as a professor of women's studies to objectively examine the lyrics. These are just a few examples. Of course, being a writer, RM used his talents to answer and confront his critics thru music. Kim NamJoon said it best in his own words. Again, quotes from his UN speech:

 "...think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up.

"I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling. We have become artists performing in huge stadiums and selling millions of albums."

"But I am still an ordinary, twenty-four-year-old guy..."

"I’m Kim Nam-joon, RM of BTS."

"I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town in Korea."

"Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life."

"I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.. .."

   We must remember, he and BTS are just human beings like you and I. They have given of themselves to show us their true selves. Please, let's follow their example of kindness and respect to all we encounter in this life. Love yourself so you may love others.

Sharing Time

Once upon a time...

We've all heard that magical line. It usually started a fairy tale. It would take us to a wonderful place in a fantasy world.

Stories, we still love them.

Let's imagine we are entering the Magic Shop. We don't really know what we will find. We've never been here before. It's all so very exciting and new. We have entered the world of BTS. This is the beginning of ARMY'S story..........your story. A love story for sure.

We want to hear your story. Don't be shy. Every one's relationship with BTS is a story to be told. Some fell in love with the first song. Some fell in love with the first video. With some, it just took awhile. But, eventually love was inevitable.

This is my story. My journey with BTS was gradual. I didn't know I was going to land down the rabbit hole. I just thought I was listening to new music. It started back in 2011. My very sweet Granddaughter started asking, "Can I listen to KPop?" Me:  "HUH?... What's that? (yes, I'm a noona ARMY) She wasn't into BTS, at first, because she thought they were too young. ( She's the same age as V and Jimin) By the time they debuted, we had been listening to KPop for awhile. We traveled from Arkansas to NYC to attend a KCon. BTS was there but she missed the fan meeting. (Something she regrets to this day) I was still,  just along for the ride. I didn't really know much about them at this time. ( OK, I now, regret not seeing them too😟)  BTS was still very new. My daughter and Granddaughter were both becoming fans. Me? I started listening closer to their music, watching some music videos. Yes, they were very cute. I couldn't tell them apart. Seven members in one group!?..... Isn't that a lot? WOW!! Could they dance!!

Fast forward to 2018, we all have traveled to  Chicago to see them in concert.  Me, just going for the fun of the trip. By now, I know their names. I have a favorite member; well,  maybe two.

I am playing their music on my Alexia speaker. ( Alexia is learning about BTS too😅😂🤣)

When my Granddaughter gets to go to a soundcheck, I'm kinda jealous. I vow that the next time they come to the states I'm going to see them. I can now identify each member by their smiles or eyes. I'm falling HARD. I LOVE IDOL!!! OMG, can I really be in love with seven young men from South Korea?

I will admit that I'm obsessed. I'm living in the rabbit hole of BTS and very, very happy. They make me happy, their music, their beautiful souls,their love for ARMY.

BTS, how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways. (Well, there are too many)

I'll have to leave those for another day 💜

PS.

Oh yes, I saw them four times of the six concerts, in the USA, this year. Still wanting more.......

Please, share with us your story, we're listening...      🌜🦎
