“in the generation/era of streaming, its a little scary to release a mainly korean song of 4mins33secs as the title… but just like my account rkive, i think as long as with the flow of time, it still gives the same feeling in many hearts, <i think> that is enough <for me>”🥺
460
in 2016 joon said “whether back stage or in the studio, I send you my fan letters written in music.” and in this 2022 letter he wrote “with the expressions and gestures of before, but with a more refined/grown up frequency, i send you my long-time letters.” 🥲

465
“just wanna stay right next to you” // “just wanna go back home”
467
“i smile, that i ain’t gotta prove myself” YEAHHHHHHHHH
468
this part is so namjoon 😭 “still life” is a type of art that typically refers to paintings of unmoving / lifeless objects, but joon used it as “i’m still alive”, can’t be locked in a frame (of a painting)
469
in 32 minutes, joon told me:
• its ok to be sad, beauty and sorrow come together
• life is better than death
• the world is cruel but fuck the world
• people change.
• the past me isn’t embarrassing.
• i don’t have to be someone. its ok to live like a small wildflower
471
this reminds me of what joon said at festa… "in some multiverse, there may be a kim namjoon that doesn't make music at all. but luckily in this universe i wanted to make music,… and met these guys that are even more talented than i.” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

its so lovely that the “joon” (俊) in namjoon means “handsome/princely/intelligent” in hanja. so everytime we call him joon or joonie rn we are essentially calling him a very smart and pretty prince
474
“when kim namjoon sings about flowers, he never only sings about flower petals. he always remembers to sing about the roots, the stems, the leaves, and the soil beneath the flower.”
475
joon is so cute lmao he was saying how much he likes/admires neo soul and erykah badu and thinking of how to refer to erykah badu and he was like "uhhhh... erykah badu... mmmm... seonsaengnim (teacher)...?" 😭
花樣年華, for the rest of my life
