Kim Namjoon's birthday: BTS Army celebrates with K-pop supergroup leader RM-themed bookstall and #JoonsBdayCookout

The customized bookstall is inspired by Kim Namjoon's studio and study style while the books are the ones recommended by the rapper himself

BTS is one of the biggest and most popular South Korean boy bands. So, when it’s the birthday of the K-pop group's leader, the Internet is bound to go crazy. Kim Namjoon, who also goes by the name of RM, is one of the most important members of the seven-member boy band and he celebrates his birthday today (September 12).

The rapper turns 26 today and BTS fans have been showering their love and nonstop wishes for the birthday boy on social media. BTS, who enjoys a massive fan following across the globe, even managed to trend #NamjoonDay on Twitter. BTS Army has always gone beyond with their birthday gifts and to make this birthday more special, a fan club called @Baidu_RMbar on Twitter spilled the beans on their unique birthday gift for the singer-songwriter.

The fan club revealed the details about a Namjoon-themed book exhibition titled aRchive being held at Kyobo Book Centre, which is the largest bookstore chain in South Korea. The customized bookstall is inspired by Namjoon's studio and study style while the books are the ones recommended by the rapper himself. The stall also includes photos and promotion materials of RM reading books together with soothing lyrics by the squad leader.

RM also took to twitter and shared his birthday post. He shared a gallery of photos and captioned it as, “Happy Birthday to me.” The official Twitter account of BTS also dedicated a birthday post for the singer along with a few other KPop stars.

In order to celebrate RM’s birthday, fans also started sharing memorable photos, fan art and old videos of the boy band on the micro-blogging site. 

One fan shared, “Nah bcuz la Banda Bangtan showed up for joon's quince Flushed face y'all should check them out See-no-evil monkey#JoonsQuince.” One user posted, “OMG LOOK TIO JACKSON WANG (also the host of this whole thing) BE KILLING IT DALE DALEEEEE- tio Jackson man.  #JoonsQuince.”  Sharing another video, one fan stated, “Thank you to the Mexican Army who decided to throw a B-Day Party for Namjoon! I'm dying. I've cried so much laughing with all of the edits I've seen so far #JoonsQuince @BTS_twt  #Namjoon #NamjoonDay”

Sharing an old video of the band, one fan posted, “Joon and his court doing the surprise dance #JoonsQuince.” Another said, “USA TOP TRENDS: 3. #JoonsQuince 6. #JoonsBdayCookout latinx and black army hosting huge parties at the same time for joon, POC army taking over rn i love it.” One fan shared a video and stated, “THEY REALLY TURN ON SELENA NOW YOU BEST BELIEVE IM GETTING ON THE DANCE FLOOR NOW #JoonsQuince”

It is probably going to be RM’s best birthday ever as BTS is currently basking in the success of their new single ‘Dynamite.’ This is the very first English song released by the South Korean band and it broke a lot of records on the Internet. The song scored the maximum quarter-week sales ever and it also became the most-viewed video in 24 hours of its release in the YouTube history.

We also would like to wish Kim Namjoon a very happy and blessed birthday.
