Recently, the prestigious Stanford University in the United States has drawn attention after officially introducing a course titled “Namjooning, and Other Well-Being Inspiration from BTS.” Inspired by RM's lifestyle, the course explores various aspects, including art, literature, the challenges of the creative process, self-love, and self-awareness.
In the past, RM frequently shared glimpses of his everyday life on social media, from visiting art museums and reading books to immersing himself in nature. Fans have always loved these moments, giving them the distinctive name “Namjooning.” The term has since grown increasingly popular, even evolving into soмєтнing of a philosophy.

However, it seems that RM's “art museum,” Rkive, has recently entered another notable period of curation — not only moving away from the Namjooning theme for the time being but also seeing more of its older posts removed.
Specifically, on November 13, fans noticed that RM had deleted another 14 posts from his Instagram feed. Most of them featured moments of him on stage during BTS's ARIRANG World Tour, along with a few spontaneous snapshots that the idol had previously found interesting enough to share.
Before this latest update, RM's account had 41 posts. It now has just 27 remaining.

Notably, this is far from the first time RM has carried out a major Instagram cleanup. Since opening his account, he has deleted a considerable number of posts on approximately four to five occasions. A particularly striking example is how, over just one year, from September last year until now, his feed has shrunk from more than 180 posts to just a few dozen.
Often described by fans as a miniature art museum, RM's Instagram is more than just a place to share photos. It reflects his inner world, personal interests, and the way he sees and experiences life around him. This is why fans have grown so attached to and appreciative of every picture he shares. Repeatedly removing so many photos not only leaves a noticeable void in that space but also makes fans feel a sense of loss.
Although this is not an entirely υиєχρє¢тє∂ move, given RM's history of doing the same in the past — soмєтнing fans jokingly refer to as his “annual cleanup” — they were still caught off guard by the latest round of deletions. Some even expressed concern, wondering whether the idol might be going through soмєтнing.

Others, meanwhile, offered a rather interesting perspective: RM is like a meticulous curator managing his own museum. Every now and then, he chooses to remove “artworks” that no longer fit the overall collection and replace them with new photographs.
The latest change to RM's Instagram has sparked lively discussions across social media:
- Why is he doing that??? I love this first pic. Is this true? I hope he's okay
- He’s okay he just bored, like me always delete my photos on insta lol
- I hate that I worry about him so much... :( I also hate knowing they've been having to deal with training since they've been home. BLAHHHHHH. I miss him
- The way rkive posts like a museum curator instead of a regular idol account is so on brand for namjoon. 54m followers and 7 following is insane btw
- Do we an archive of rkive??? I want to see every d*mn thing he deleted
- rkive taking his name a bit too literal. Btw I get you, babe, when I’m feeling down at home I delete some of my highlights too
- I've already gotten used to it, honestly. He always does that with his photos. I think he doesn't like his Insta looking cluttered, so he keeps it under 50 posts
- The fact that Namjoon archived several posts on Instagram and removed his profile picture right when he has to go back to the military for his annual reserve training just makes me think the worst. He had a really hard time in the military, and those responsible did it on purpose
- Namjoon deleting/archiving almost fifteen posts. Making room for the next chapter...? Waiting on his profile pic. I feel like we’re in for a laugh....
