Since the members opened their individual Instagram accounts, RM frequently shares his workout routines written on a whiteboard. Sometimes, he’ll include a message to ARMY, such as the “Merry Christmas” below.

While we’re a few days into 2023, RM delivered a New Year’s greeting with his recent workout post.

RM uploaded his workout routine written on the whiteboard as usual. This time, his greeting was quite bold. He wrote, “Happy F*ckin’ New Year.”

Of course, we have heard RM curse before, especially quite a bit in some of the solo music. Still, it could be considered rebellious for a K-Pop idol to use profanity, so RM rarely uses it in everyday life. Although, his post surely has the same energy as we can imagine about the expressions of him at that time.

ARMYs recognized that RM’s post was out of the ordinary. He was clearly upset and vocalizing it. So, shortly after RM’s post, ARMYs trended “pissed” on Twitter:

- and he has every right to be

- Angry Namjoon

- Joon is rlly so pissed and it shows. no cuz wdym he's cursing WHOLE EXERCISING BSIDISIISISKZ

- Namjoon has every freakin right to be pissed. Imagine going to a holy place to find peace and in a few days you find articles published about it and it has none other than the monk giving out info. I love this passive aggressive Namjoon.

- I’m so frustrated for Namjoon, I can’t imagine what it feels like to have no privacy at all, like everything he does & says will be shared with millions whether he likes it or not. I don’t like seeing him being exploited what is wrong with people!!!!

- What?? that’s horrible. k-media are freaking wild stalking, spying every celebrity out there

- PISSED and DADDY SUGA trending rn has to be the most confusing thing to anyone outside of army twt rn. like we are upset about the Joon situation but simultaneously simping over suga’s finger licking scrumptious photos.

For context, on January 5, KST, multiple Korean media outlets reported about RM’s visit to the Hwaeomsa Temple in Mount Jirisan. He had even shared some photos on Instagram that have since been related after the temple’s chief monk spoke to the media. Considering RM had gone to him in confidence only for his privacy to be invaded and publicized, it was alarming.

He posted on his Instagram that: "I was grateful for the time spent there, but didn’t expect an article about it…"

The media reported RM had been donating 500 bags every year to Good World Charity Bank, a children’s relief organization headed by Venerable Deokmun, the head of the Hwaeomsa Temple. Still, RM had also spoken with monk Deokmun about topics such as enlistment. When the news spread, RM took to Instagram to express his shock.  

He even added that he would go to a different temple in the future, followed by the hashtag “lowkeymustbelowkey". He also said that: "Next time I’ll make a quiet visit to a different temple…"

On a lighter note, RM previously shared New Year’s message on his workout whiteboard from ENHYPEN‘s Jake and Ni-ki...

And ARMYs found it so cute:

- joon tagged @/enhyphen

- enhyphen’s niki and jake wrote “happy new year!” on joon’s workout whiteboard, so cute

- lol they wrote it so tiny while joons handwriting is massive

- cuties lmao the handwriting is so

- Idk how to explain it but Namjoon gives off the cool cousin vibes that literally everyone loves

- this is so cute! i can already imagine joon's smile after seeing this

- Imagine them sneaking out into hybe gyms where namjoon's doing his workout just to write that
