But Namjoon

A phrase used by kpop stans when their faves are targeted for doing something problematic so they try to point out something that namjoon did years ago (that he apologized and learned from). It's a way for them to try and cover up what their oppars have done and to feel better about themselves.
It was referenced by Namjoon in "MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA trailer mv" when he said, "The three syllables of my name and the word 'but' that should become before any of those," showing how petty some kpop stans can be and that he knows everything they say.

"You heard that *insert random kpop idol* said some pretty racist and sexist stuff recently right?"
"Yeah, but Namjoon did *insert something he did 6 years ago* so it's not that bad-"
"Please dear god shut up"

But Namjoon

“But Namjoon” is a phrase that K-pop community uses when one of their faves do something problematic and they want to redirect the attention to Kim Namjoon, rapper and leader of BTS, and to justify their faves actions.

Person B: But Namjoon… you forget about him?

Or

Person A: He should apologize
