RM has always been known as one of the Kpop idols with a very high IQ. He is also praised for his excellent language skills and careful manners.
Recently, a Korean educator, translator/editor posted an article about how talented RM's language is, causing many other elders to praise his word as well. Some even praised his writing style as a poet:
RM is often known for creating meaningful and flowery lyrics for BTS songs. He makes the lyrics feel like going into the listener's heart.
But not only good at expressing through music. RM's sayings and posts also show how classy his use of language is.
Recently, a Twitter user named Colin - a Korean educator, translator/editor, who have great enthusiam with BTS's lyrics posted a tweet on Twitter. He commented on the words that RM wrote in his most recent post on Weverse.
He wrote that: "When I read RM’s Weverse post, the first thing that caught my attention wasn’t the content (restrained indignation directed at anyone, especially the Korean journalists, who perverted OT7’s deep, sincere, and emotional message dedicated solely to ARMY) but the writing - the polished sentences and elegant words and expressions".
Also he mentioned that many primarily married, middle-aged male professionals also praised RM's writing and the words he used. Especially, he recounted: "I belong to a website where the members are primarily married, middle-aged male professionals. Judging by what some of them commented about RM’s post, I’m definitely not alone in my admiration for RM’s writing prowess."
Many other ARMYs also agree with Colin and some even say their parents have the same opinion. Many people also expressed that even if they can translate Korean to English fluently, it takes more time to translate RM's post because many words in English can't exactly describe what RM conveyed.
Here are some comments from ARMYs:
- My parents say the exact same thing. his choice of words (most of which don’t have direct English equivalents) and his style is so extraordinary. No pressure at all, but we would be the first in line to buy a book of his if he ever wrote one.
- The pacs that get excited every time he writes a letter
- I always thought Namjoon would a be great author. I don't speak Korean, but even in English you can see his extraordinary skill with words.
- I'm always in awe of how he articulates his thoughts and out them in words . it's amazing and very, something i can't put in words I'm always in awe of how he articulates his thoughts and out them in words . it's amazing and very, something i can't put in words
- I've said for a long time I wish he would write a book. Even if it was a reflection on art pieces. But, what would really be great are his thoughts on life. Maybe one day.
- I would seriously love it if he writes a book about the whole BTS history from their perspective and the things they couldn't say ...
- I don’t speak Korean but from reading & cross referencing translations, & listening & researching in order to find proper full meaning. & the years of listening to his speeches, ending ments, often unprepared, etc. Even I can tell he is a poet… Shakespeare in Korean maybe
- It would make sense, Shakespeare found the English language confining and made many new words that we use today. American English is often a created language (that is still in process)
- I love this so much! Being a native speaker of a different language, I have always felt a lot of context is always lost when trying to translate to English. The original emotion and intent of cannot be directly conveyed.
- I have written so many times on weverse if joon in future writes a book of poem or about anything i will buy to read it on first hand ...i am waiting fir that day read his thoughts
- I find RM to be eloquent. His Native language is very rich and him being poetic utilises it to its full. It's not easy esp to capture the same feel of expression during transnslation. I speak 3 diff Native languages I appreciate this. Thanks 4 always giving us the Translations.
