concerning the misogynistic lyrics https://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/07/big-hit-apologizes-for-the-misogynistic-lyrics-in-btss-songs
read this and tell me that namjoon doesn't show deep understanding and growth that no one else in the kpop community showed.
the same namjoon the kpop community likes to deflect their favs' mistakes on is someone who actually LEARNED, GREW and EDUCATED himself. and for that he should be respected
BH's statement and apology regarding both at#### sh### and Na## issues
they not only apologized to the fans but to the parties concerned themselves which shows that they actually care about these issues and how they affected people.
namjoon said he gets opinions from feminist professors regarding his lyrics. this is the perfect example of someone owning up to their mistakes and learning from them. in conclusion, namjoon feminist
"my words and behaviors, regardless of my intentions, could cause troubles or hurt others' feelings. I thought I need to hold responsibility for that and I need to think about such things. What I said or did would not be undone." - RM
namjoon bought a book that discusses creating a safe world for women and ending violence against them. namjoon feminist period
he's someone who TRULY regrets his mistake and tries to do his best to change for the better. put some respect on his name
for those who for some reason still refuse to believe and claim that these are fabricated, here are the interviews in which he said this, feel free to check for yourself

also NJ's collab w/ Wale 'Change' which BB described as "With the duo criticizing the “alt-right,” Twitter’s ability to “k#ll,” “racist police” and declaring “no faith in the government,” the unrestrained hip-hop track is one of the most progressive songs" https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7728840/wale-bts-rap-monster-change
"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday.
But yesterday’s me is still me.
Today, I am who I am with all of my faults and my mistakes.
Tomorrow, I might be a tiny bit wiser,
and that’ll be me too."
- Kim Namjoon @BTS_twt, UN speech (2018)

the entire kpop community is quick to yell "misogynistic lyrics!!!1!" but NEVER talk about 21st century girls a literal female empowering anthem
Apology regarding the J*m J*nes speech in What Do You Think https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/20200531200136472
RM and J-Hope wore t-shirts designed to support the breast cancer awareness.
Hoseok bought animal figures decorations which are from Monkeybiz South Africa, a non-profit organisation that helps women in South Africa support their family.
3% of the sales from @BTS_twt LY albums are donated to UNICEF to end violence against children and young people as part of the #LoveYourself and #EndViolence campaigns.
Saying you support a cause is one thing but putting your money where your mouth is is another. BTS not only spoke up about BLM movement, they also donated $1M which consequently inspired ARMYs to match their donation in 24 hours.
Regarding jimn calling jungkok "kkamdoongie."
