Namjoon speaks about Gender Equality

I'm so glad he actually puts effort to learn and think about things like this because I really like him and it'll mean a lot to his fans to see him grow into the good person I'm sure he is

This is the best way to go forward. Admit ones mistake and ignorance, learn from the experts and don’t repeat the mistakes again

Such great role model, thank you Namjoon

Wow . Proud of him

Quote from ohpuhlease

This is what personal growth looks like. He has grown out of his past mistakes proactively by taking efforts. I am proud of him for openly speaking about it.

Exactly, it's about actual effort and the fact that he reaches out to spread good messages to the public and influence the members as well goes to show the position of leader was meant for him

I have so much respect and admiration for Namjoon. He's quite a bit younger than me and being all self-reflective while I'm on Twitter losing my temper like, "LEMME RATIO THIS B*TCH!"

We love a man who acknowledges his past mistakes and trying his best to learn from it. That is what growing means! But Namjoon, don't be afraid to commit mistakes (not grave though), as life will continue to teach us in everything we do, good or bad!

They're smart. Look at Yoongis answer

too. Some people will throw "fake woke"

but they're jus telling you their own

experienced and story.

there are few people who actually admit their mistake and learn from it. best leader for a reason.

proud of him for this.

their responses are always well thought of.

I'm someone who is very wary about the way idols are seen as pure and perfect by their fans. I don't know any of them - including the BTS members. I want to believe they are good people - obviously - but at the end of the day, what do I know.

Except Namjoon. He is - I think - the only celebrity who aknowledged his mistakes, decided that they were warranted, and grew from them, to become a better human being. It would have been so easy to brush them off, or even to make an empty apology.

Fans have such ride or die mindset, they would have accepted that without batting an eye.

That's why I have a lot of respect for him, not only as an artist but as a person.

I'm glad you that namjoon teaches his stans something.

I’m glad too. He takes the word ”idol” and “influencer” seriously.

Lisa does too eps when she has interviews in Thai. Idols are being pressed by companies. Thai people are more serious about mental health that's why the country is very accepting when it comes to everything. Bc we are diverse and different and we learn to respect others these kinds of topics other countries just started to learn

Kim Namjoon, leader sui generis

War of hormones lyrics bothered me a bit back then but he apologized, changed the lyrics and educated himself. He is a great person. I really believe that he is kind.

I adore and respect this man and always will. He's such a genuine soul and leads by example.

Thank you, Namjoon for admitting your mistakes and always striving to improve yourself. A person worth emulating.

Quote from 3ne

This never made sense to me. He wrote lyrics about finding girls attractive, wanting them to find him attractive, and bragging about it when they do. What about that promotes sexism or inequality? He never said girls can't do the same; he actually wrote lyrics for GLAM in 2012/2013 about girls being independent and having the right to like whoever/whatever they want regardless of what society says is acceptable. I suppose he's forgotten about that though

Speaking of what girls like, if he's "educated" now, are the millions of women and girls who find his old lyrics hot "uneducated"? Do we need to re-educate female ARMYs so they're attracted to the correct things? In my experience women don't really like being told what to think, but I guess we can re-educate them on that too since it's apparently for their own good

I'm very confused about his post. When did Namjoon say that his audience needed to get educated ? He wanted to write better lyrics and be mindful about gender equality, how the frick do you manage to get this stupid take out of it ?

When ARMY say antis are as dumb as bricks, that's what they mean.

It’s nice he accepts criticism from people who have been offended rather than trying to justify and prove his actions. It shows he has high emotional intelligence and very considerate of others. He is a good leader

For my personal opinion I still don’t see what he did wrong for WOH. Maybe it’s just cultural differences

King.

Thank you Namjoon for doing the bear minimum

if people genuinely found it offensive then they found it offensive. You have to take in consideration the cultural differences too. People who listen to American Rap or western music in general are used to way worse, and don't even mind such lyrics but things might be different in korea, especially seeing how feminism is treated as a crime there.

I personally didn't find it offensive, I loveeeee war of hormone and nobody can come here and tell me I shouldn't like it as well. If it bops, it bops.

He's such an amazing person and I respect his efforts so much

When it comes to WOH I personally never found it problematic but if another woman did I can't disregard that either so for him to take the criticism to himself and trying to educate himself is such an admirable thing
