What Namjoon said and did in 2015, 2016, ticked all the boxes in what Harriette Lerner explained in @BreneBrown's podcast on how to apologize and why it matters. I'm in awe at what this young man has done, together with his members @BTS_twt, inspiring fans young and old https://twitter.com/emilyxholcombe/status/1259268830846566400

*Dr. Harriet Lerner

"Namjoon was accused of racism. So he educated himself on rap culture. He adjusted his mindset to understand that despite intentions he could still hurt people and never did those things again. He collabed with Wale to make a song that touched on racial issues in America.

Namjoon was accused of sexism. He apologized. Then because he felt it was not enough, he met with a feminist and asked questions and learned about his wrong doings. He, in his spare time, bought a book on sexism and educated himself.
