Compassion Distorted

Intro 4 - Kim Namjoon

Kim Namjoon was born in Goyang, South Korea on September 12, 1994, making him 21 today*. Namjoon's ability to make the future better is the ability to see images of words to counsel others. He met Jungkook in his third year** at Seoul High School*** while JungKook was still in middle school. Namjoon and Jungkook met due to their room assignments in the apartment-like dorms students lived in. The two were the first to be placed in their room over the summer and happened into the room on the same day to check it out. Namjoon befriended the young boy at the time thinking he could teach him some things. Soon the two became good friends and Namjoon, like the others, appeared in Jungkook's mind maze soon afterwards. Getting to know Namjoon, Jungkook noticed he was smart in school with an IQ of 147 but he also had a knack for rapping, an unusual contrast. Jungkook soon learned that Namjoon earned the nickname 'Rap Monster' because of this talent, but Jungkook found it strange that the burden that Namjoon carried in his maze was a microphone. Namjoon disclosed to Jungkook the fact that his parents didn't approve of practicing or pursuing his rapping talent and wanted him to go further into the spectrum of intelligence. Over Jungkook's first year of knowing Namjoon, he tried to help convince Namjoon's parents otherwise, saying he could still use his intelligence when endeavoring in rapping. After two years of speaking with them, Namjoon's parents were fully convinced and supported him, and Namjoon appeared with no burden for a long time.

After his parents gave him approval, Namjoon planned to pursue rapping and song writing in the future after he graduated from high school. He has a younger sister who he councils through her schooling with his smarts and life skills, and parents who support him now. His nickname Rap Monster caught on more and more and he became known for it through his school. He kept his intelligence and talent and continues to work on song-writing. He is a leader figure to his group of friends and helps them in their studies at times. He is fluent in English and wants to learn more languages, continuing to learn new things even after he has graduated.
