Namjoon: The story behind this trend in Social Media today
08-10-2026
Namjoon (RM), the leader of BTS, posted a message on Weverse on October 7, 2026, while the group was in Lima, Peru, for the Latin American leg of their ARIRANG world tour. That post is what drove the current social media discussion around his name.He greeted fans in Latin America, said it was the group’s first time in Peru, and that they were excited. He then explained that, as had happened in Colombia, members and staff were struggling because people were camping outside the hotel. The noise reached their rooms, so no one was sleeping well, and it was also bothering other hotel guests. He thanked fans for the welcome and enthusiasm, but said that if they could not rest, it would affect their concert performances.He asked fans not to stay in front of the hotelsnot only in Lima, but also at upcoming stops in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and later Asian dates. He framed the request as a hope for a more mature relationship with ARMY, said he believed they would understand, and closed by promising they would do their best at the show and that he loved them.The message spread quickly across social platforms, especially in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking fan communities, because the first Lima concert was imminent. Much of the reaction treated it as a reasonable request for privacy and rest during a demanding tour. Others expressed embarrassment that the leader felt he had to ask publicly, and some used it to debate long-running issues around hotel camping, stalking, and fan behavior on tour. The trend is essentially the circulation and reaction to that Weverse appeal.
