The host asks if this is a sexual novel, RM/Namjoon answers yes. He goes on describing the book as “vain and promiscuous” and later says he received “second-hand satisfaction” from reading it, and everyone laughed. It’s clear he meant that he masturbated to this novel (cont’d)
Unfortunately, this is not a normal erotica-type novel. The sexual scenes within are highly graphic and there are scenes of violence, abuse, and rape. One particular scene includes a black woman which the author stereotypically describes (cont’d)
I’m attaching the aforementioned scene from the novel and a translation from the TV program but PLEASE read the excerpt with caution as it is very graphic. THIS is what RM/Namjoon was getting “secondhand satisfaction” to (cont’d)
ARMY knew about this as well, but instead of highlighting the inappropriate qualities of the book, they praised RM/Namjoon for talking about enjoying himself sexually while reading it. “Secondhand satisfaction” is a long-running joke in the fandom (cont’d)
The proper research was done before posting unlike Suga and his Jim Jones sample
