We are back with another year of Namjooning, if this is your first year, we are so excited that you are here. Here is a quick into to what you can expect.

What is Namjoning?:

• The act of living as Kim Namjoon. This includes taking walks in the parks, admiring nature, hanging out with crabs and having fun with friends.

Embrace your inner Namjoon and enjoy the outside world. I will be posting about, my adventures in nature, food, reflection and of course reading, which brings us to the Namjooning Readathon.

Namjooning Readathon:

• Namjooning Readathon is all about living life and doing what makes you happy.

An amazing Army has listed all the books Namjoon has talked about, calling it Joonie’s Library. I suggest checking it out if you want to see what he likes to read or if you need suggestions.

I do have some new prompts for this years Namjooning Readathon that you can follow if you would like.

• Prompts:
  • Read a book with Rain/Water on the cover
    • For his collaboration song Stop the Rain with Tablo from Epik High
  • Read a book with ‘Monster’ in the title
    • For his stage name Rap Monster
  • Read a book set in Seoul or has Soul in the title
    • Based off his song Seoul (Prod. HONNE)
  • Read outside

When is Namjooning Readathon?

• Namjooning Readathon will take place June 1 – 30, 2025.

I am so excited for this year Namjooning, I feel like I need to get in touch with nature a bit more and just relax. Maybe we will even make a friend with a crab. I hope you come along for this adventure!
