“Labels of what it is to be masculine are an outdated concept. It is not our intention to break it. But if we have a positive impact, we are very grateful. We live in a time when we shouldn’t have these labels or these restrictions.” –Namjoon#OurNewHomeRM pic.twitter.com/fpwuZGE6CE

Each post celebrating RM acknowledges every aspect of the idol that fans know and love. From the reliable leader of BTS, the talented songwriter and rapper, to the man who enjoys reading, visiting museums, appreciating art and generally “Namjooning”.
A thoughtful gesture for RM’s birthday came from a local Barnes & Noble. Barnes & Noble has more than 600 bookstores in the United States and a location in Waterbury, Connecticut, set up a display in its store to celebrate RM’s birthday.
The Waterbury store team set up the “Namjoon Library”, described as “a selection of books read and inspired by RM from BTS,” featuring a collection of many award-winning Asian authors.
