What else should I take a look at?

You said, “This guy’s a thinker.” So true. He has an IQ of 148 and his lyrics reflect that intelligence.

RM is a revelation. His album Indigo is a masterpiece, and that is not a word I use lightly. He's a brilliant lyricist and poet, a philosopher, and a genuinely good human. I admire him so much. His rap skills are ridiculous, and he's never had an empty bar. You will probably really enjoy his work.

The reason why I became a fan of BTS is the depth and storytelling in their music. And RM is a critical part of that. The foundation of BTS’ lyricism and deep meaningful music.

John Eun is a long time close friend of RM's. And Docskim said in an interview he was ready to give up on music until RM recruited him to work on Indigo, and he rediscovered his passion for music working with RM 💜

RM is an art collector and recognised as an art influencer not only in korea but also the US and Europe....he has had a major impact on young people taking up art appreciation...

RM Namjoon is a poet to me from Joke to Lonely he pulls no punches, invokes emotions and leaves one feeling less alone. Namjoon has a cadence that draws you in and takes you for a ride you will not forget. Our President always delivers 💜🫶

Bang PD once said that he couldn’t believe the lyrics that RM was writing at the age of 17. Proving that he’s always been deep and introspective. He lays his soul bare with his music, his open honesty is why so many truly love this amazing young man. ♥️💜💜💜💜💜💜

Rm is like a pillar of BT’s. He is a poet by nature.

RM is a thinker (he is literal genius), he wanted to be a poet and a novelist, before he found his true passion in rap.. And we will claim he still is a poet.

if you enter bts world through their English songs I guess it's what it looks like. but for us who already are bts fans those songs were very fun. we already had all the complex introspective tracks from bts in our playlist and we were sure we will get more with their next album, but at that time, during pandemic each and every of us was already facing dark reality so bts gifted us songs that are just... fun. it was a breather and we love those English singles very mush as it was something that got us through tough times :)

Since you've started reacting to the solo work from BTS members, why not explore them all? They're wildly different artists, sometimes it's hard to believe they're in the same group. My recommendations: The other two rappers: * *Suga/Agust D* - his trilogy in this order: Daechwita - Haegeum - Amygdala ("daechwita" is a genre of Korean traditional military music played for the king, "haegeum" means liberation from the forbidden, "amygdala" is the part of the brain that processes emotions and memories, including traumas) * *J-hope* - More, Arson, Daydream The four singers: * *Jin* - Epiphany (live performance), The Astronaut, Awake * *Jimin* - Like Crazy (#1 Billboard song), Set Me Free Pt.2, Serendipity (live performance) * *V* - his 3-song set for Tiny Desk Concert, which features an amazing saxophone solo * *Jungkook* - Still With You, Stay Alive, Seven (#1 BB song)

The reason musicians and artists love Indigo so much is the exquisite taste RM shows in every selection of all the people he works with. He hears a particular voice for a track then surprisingly people like Erykah Badu and Youjeen well known for turning down such offers ... work with him. Indigo is endlessly surprising and unpredictable. The diary of RMs 20s every track is a different genre. It is shockingly brave in its ambition and honesty.

RM - my favorite song is BICYCLE. Good listen, it will grow on you💜

Genius RM. He is a deep thinker. The lyrics to his songs really connect with millions of fans. I love his Indigo album. Beautifully done and so underrated.

So, I really like your reaction and respected it. To understand RM, you have to do more songs to find the lane you like. Without a doubt he is the most eclectic artist within BTS and additionally has the most content. He’s the most mature in his content. Most of BTS, not a criticism, stays in a lane specifically the vocal line, simply because they don’t create as much, they’re younger, and they aren’t the writers or producers that RM is. So, a JK, who I love, will stay in a popish lane. And that’s okay. RM does crazy amount of genres and you, like BTS, just need to understand which you like the most. There hip hop, rap RM. there’s alt RM. There’s almost a singer songwriter soul RM, a R&B RM and much more that’s all infused. His tiny desk is more singer songwriter almost R&B soul sound but that’s not his sound. It’s just a singular part of him. Seoul is so different than a tune like All Day or throw away, which is rock rap. I would encourage to check out different cuts from his solo work like Moonchild, wildflower, do you, throw away, and Joke. RM is the most artistic with more genres than anyone. JHope the next. I like his tiny desk but don’t think it actually shines his best work on specifically Indigo, which is a triumphant, or his overall work. It’s more a mood or color…. And he has a ton. Good luck.

The band just flows so effortlessly with RMs tone. it’s beautiful to listen to sonically while still highlighting the lyrics and message that RM wants to deliver

His Live in Rolling Hall! So pure. 1990s-2000s urban vibes

One of the things that BTS has said is that, for them, dancing is the equivalent of playing instruments. I think you will find that their dancing. Is not typical boy band dancing.

Check out RM's live Rollinh Hall concert which features Indigo album songs, with live collaborators, also Sexy Nukim with Balming Tiger.

I really really love Indigo, it’s art😍💜

When I was in serious depression, I met BTS. And their misic helped me so much getting through that tunnel. I truly respect them as artists, as human that are worthy of emulation. There’s always deep meaning in their music. Not random love story.

RM is a true poet

I could listen to RM talk all day long…. His voice is beautiful.

Es un gran artista,su voz es espectacular un hombre muy creativo e inteligente.

RM is the first person I noticed in BTS ❤💜

RM is so deep and beautifully poetic. Love that side of him 🎉❤

i wish people had recomended persona by RM

Mono and Indigo is just so calming. My Favorite on playlist. It’s healing my soul

For RM’s solo stuff, the real MV’s are needed. Still Life, Flower Works, Do You, Joke and more.

RM BTS'rock. He is their inspiration

I personally LOVE Namjoon's music in and outside of BTS. He's just an amazing artists and like you said a thinker. His lyrics are just the best, they are like poem and even in Korea they call him the philosopher who raps because of his deep lyrics and genius wordplays. Anyways, he's actually real versatile tho, his first mixtape 'RM' is definitely the most aggressive when it comes to rap and lyrics. I would say, the second one is a masterpiece for me, each song connects to each other so well and has its own essence, and Indigo is full of different genres, that one is a masterpiece too! In Tiny Desk the artists usually experiment with their songs since they have a live band now, here it was definitely more calm but still so good. It was a vibe!

His voice so beautiful

Closer is another master piece and No 2! Wildflower oh gosh! The whole album and his discography is just beautiful crafted over time reflecting his growth as a person and artist! thanks for giving him and the whole group a chance

It’s crazy how the songs they make individually are completely different from the songs they make as a group

Namjoon’s (RM) solo albums are close to my heart. They give me peace and comfort. You have to listen to both Mono and Indigo and listen to his first album that’s full of his frustration as an artist. RM’s world play is out of this world. You need to check translation to understand.

Between all bts member Namjoon is my favorite, he's mature, smart, talented, his songs, covers, collaborations are so good, you can see his growth in them. So freaking talented for this fandom

RM was pullin water bottles out of his goddamn inventory

RM’s live concert at Rolling Hall was better than this Tiny Desk performance IMO. He performed the songs from Indigo in front of a very small audience. That’s worth a listen. Also BTS’ 2021 Festa Room Live is great.

I’ve officially started going down the rabbit hole wow

The Guide to the BTS Members introduction video by the channel Taylor Mari is gonna be continuously recommended to you until you react to it lol

Because of how different and contrasting of each of the members’ music tastes and styles are, I confidently say that’s the reason why they sound the best when they come together as one.They started as 7 and it will always be a 7 member group.

Its the way you were smiling throughout

RM= RAP MONSTER. UNDERGROUND RAPPER SINCE YOUNG

My dude, you got more than a decade of amazing content from BTS to catch up on, but definitely go at your own pace if you're interested in continuing on this journey. BTS is deep and definitely bless us more than just their music. That's why the love and support for them is on a global scale. 💜

I think that’s what’s so great about BTS as a group and as individuals. As a group, they blend together so well and so naturally that you can’t really look for anything more. Whereas as individuals, it’s a unique flavor that kinda feels fragmented once you’ve gotten a taste of the whole. Not to say that there’s anything missing or lacking? But it’s a piece of the whole pie so seeing it separate is a different experience. It still continues to astound me how 7 unique individuals with varying sounds and interests work so well as one group. I’ve never felt that connection or wholeness with any other group

Even when the members talk about their individual achievements, they always say that they shine best when they are together💜 One of the things I love most is that we have seven people with seven personalities and seven different musical tastes. We don't need to listen to anyone else because we have enough🥰💜💜

If you loved this, I'm sure you'll also love V's Tiny Desk Korea. Also, their BTS Room Live is one you should def check out 💜

V has a tiny desk concert too...his music is a beautiful jazzy vibe. BTS refers to their musical tastes as their "colors" and they are all different! RM is a beautiful old soul and yes, he's a thinker... IQ of 148!!!

RM is tops.❤

I think you should listen to the main song off this album Wildflower which has an amazing video. The album is meant to be listened to chronologically and really builds. My personal favorite is Closer, which has a video but it’s for a movie, still worth the watch. Ty💜

I appreciate his honesty

RM I💜♥❤💕

Wait I loved bts years ago and love RM´s song „Seoul“. I didn’t know this „concert“ existed until now, thank you for introducing it to me 🥰🥺

RM has the real beauty of a man

thank you so much for reaction video. RM is my ultimate favorite person

On BTS LIVE MTV FIX YOU. what is surprising is how beautifully RM and the Rap line harmonise beautifully

I think you should listen to Wildflower by RM, Snooze by Suga and slow Dancing by V for solo songs and then for group songs Life Goes On, Butterfly, Film out, Pied Piper or Save Me. Those are my recommendations

Тhe leader's songs are a masterpiece😊

RM is known for his poetic lyrics and world play, double meanings, and multiple meanings. Just expressing his creative self.

RMs albums Indigo und Mono are masterpieces. So is BTS's other music. Like plenty other, I'm gonna recommend the Introduction to BTS video. You get an overview and context and armys are gonna watch it with you no matter how often we have seen it. 😅 Good luck on your journey

john eun (the guitar player on the right) and docskim (keyboard) are good friends of rm and have worked with him and bts multiple times over the years, docskim said that he was almost ready to give up on music until rm invited him to work with him again, it inspired him to the point that he has released solo music now, john eun’s solo work is good too, rm did background vocals for his song hope

Rm is the leader of the group bts he's sp caring and like father figure to these guys especially towards jungkook but he cares so much for the other members and when theu come back In 2025 I'm so gunna grab concert tickets to see these 7 Legends

I am soo soo happy that you listened to Namjoon talking about his music

RM IS THE BACKBONE OF BTS

If you want his harder tracks then check out rms 1st mixtape

So glad that you didn't cut of tiny desk and give us whole thing🎉 Enjoyed watching with you. Please react to *Tiny desk with all members* ❤ and *Room Festa* where they also sang some of their songs❤ P.S.do not cut reactions please🙌give us whole thing like here😌

RM is so precious and a genius😊

Everyone here will recommend RM’s mixtape “Mono” from which Seoul is the highlight. It’s THE PERFECT rainy day vibe! Please take it into your SOUL.

RM is the leader of BTS. He is a poet, lyricist with deep love for art. We just love him

Kim namjoon aka RM ( Rap monster) amazing person, amazing writer, amazing raper and also a great leader. 💜

Take a look at Rm live in Seoul

Rm is a man who is sincere, falls easily, and has an IQ of over 150.I'm a person who delivers touching comments and can feel his sincerity.

RM is a classic art-loving, book-loving, nature-loving philosopher.

The dancer that you liked so much in Black Swan is Jimin. He recently released a solo piece called Set Me Free Part 2. It not only shows a different side of Jimin, but it also shows the virtuosity of his dancing

Haha I totally agree with what you said in the end... I really love RM's solo stuff and he is really arty and expressive and I think he is a good songwriter and producer on his own. Just like I also like the other member's solo stuff (maybe even a bit more but not the point). But I just feel like what makes bts is not just them as individuals, but the way they come together. Like on their own, they are all really good and super talented, but imo what makes it special is when they are together, cuz when they are, they make each other shine even more than they could ever alone

RM also my bias on BTS. I love his deep voice. Please check out his solo titled Joke. Its amazing!

RM rolling hall performance, he peformed almost the whole INDIGO album there

his rolling hall performance, it's on their youtube channel

Love RM soooooo much...he is the best🎉💜💜💜💜💜

Indigo album is a masterpiece. So are their incredible solo albums Face from Jimin, Jack in the Box from Jhope, D Day from Agust D aka Suga, Golden from Jungkook is coming next month, Layover from V (this one is so jazzy and R&B).😊

This is my favorite album it’s so beautiful and catchy

you absolutely gotta listen to "wild flower" like absolutely

My ult-ult-ultimate bias (favorite) among the seven. I love BTS with extra percent for the leader RM, cutie, with an IQ of 148 and a pair of deep dimples.

He is a poet

I’m glad you now appreciate RM, because he is a genius and a wonderful human being. You get a like from me 😊

Instantly subscribed because he liked rm 💟

His Indigo Album is quite layed back compared with the BTS Cyphers and his Track Persona where he spit's hard bars. I really enjoy all his different styles and I love how I never know what I'm going to get from RM the first time I hear something new from him. It's want keeps me waiting for the next thing from him. I've not come across anything I've not like from him.

Check out RM's harmony in vocals in the BTS cover of Fix You by Coldplay.

I been watching a lot of BTS stuff and their music but I keep putting off listening to RM's solo album because rap is not my thing, although what draw me to their music first is Mic Drop. I have listened to some of his songs in his mixtapes like Joke because I've been intrigued by the lyrics but not his first official solo music. I'm glad I watched this reaction video and got to hear his songs. 💜💜💜

RM is Not A SINGERRRRR He's a RAPPER

RM is Life.

Love that you're into RM. I got into BTS about a year ago by watching their silly game show called Run BTS! and slowly got into the songs. My favorite quickly became RM, cause he was so genuine in how he spoke and tried to explain his thoughts in as much depth as possible. Great voice, amazing at writing lyrics (and has one of the largest list of credits for song writing in Kpop), cares about fans and speaks directly to them in Korean and in English. Lots of things are great about him.

loved this reaction!! you should definitely check out their BTS Room Live from festa 2021, it gives a great view of how diverse their sound is and how much they’ve evolved since their debut 🔥

I love RM's song, Moon Child ❤

Thanks for the reaction. RM is an incredible artist and song writer. BTS did a Tiny Desk performance as a group during Covid, which is great. They did Dynamite, which I know you didn't love, but there were other songs, and I think seeing them interacting together live is important. Similarly, the 2021 Festa Room live gives snippets of maybe 7 songs and a good look at their group dynamic. As mentioned, V did a wonderful Tiny Desk concert for his recently released album. All 7 BTS members have solo work; there is a ton of content if you want it.

He is my bias,💜💜💜 n 7 mamber💜💜

If youre interested in one of his solo songs where he goes harder i recommend listening to "Joke" by RM. Its another side of his versatility. Its definitely a more hard, gritty hiphop song. Love the reaction cant wait to see more.

BTS has many colors bc they have 7 very talented artists, who have different visions for their music. They all say they are at their best when they are together (can't wait for 2025 army 💜) To get a little taste from each of them I recommend Awake - Jin D-Day - Suga (Agust D when he's a solo artist) More - J-Hope Set me free pt.2 - Jimin Slow dancing - V Seven - Jungkook Some other suggestions for RM Joke (for his more aggresive and fast rap) 4 o'clock with V (for his beautiful vocals) Wildflower (with Youjeen) (for his more instrospective poetic rap) All day (with Tablo) (for his more socially critical rap) And if you LOVED the instrumentals on this performance, trust me when I say you'll LOSE YOUR MIND at V's Tiny Desk Concert for his solo album Layover, he sang 3 of his 5 new songs: Love me again, Slow dancing and For us. AND ALSO his band session (with roughly the same crew) for just Slow Dancing where he plays the sax as bonus at the end (not part of the song, but it was cool seeing him show off his own skills with the instrument hehe)

Amazing RM💜💜💜💜💜 thank you 💜 God bless you 💜
