i'm about to show my mom namjoon's speech and i'll say "this is the reason why i love them. they're more than just a kpop group to me." i have depression and social phobia and bts helped me a lot. i started listening to them back in 2013, and they've always helped me in everything that i do. I am also a closeted bisexual, i haven't come out yet but namjoon's speech and bts' message in general gives me the courage to accept myself whatever people might say. so to me, they're more than just idols. They're more than just a group.
I'm a mom...not a "young person"...my teenage daughter introduced me to BTS. I think she will understand how important they are to you and why. It's fantastic that BTS has captured the imagination of older generations who (theoretically) have the means to make change. They are a powerful voice for youth and for the good of the whole world. And you remember: you are OK. Exactly as you are.
@@theajane6444 ... same for me hun. I'm a mom of an older teen. My son introduced me to BTS, but things like this are why I became ARMY. They are amazing young men!
Jose, I had the same reaction as you but at school so I had to hide my face because I was sobbing. I loved the passion he had in the speech and when he stated his real name, I got the chills because of how personal he made it. My english class does what is called "Quote of the day" every Tuesday and Thursday where we present a quote that has had an effect on us and it's my turn to present tomorrow. Though my original quote was beautiful as it was from Namjoon, I'm going to change it and instead use what he said about his faults and mistakes and how those have shaped him because it is so relatable and raw. I was really nervous to present because of my fear of what everyone else would think, but his words are carrying the weight that the fear pushing. Ps. Thanks for the reaction and you are so amazing for donating the money made from this video to the organization 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It hurts me so good when he said "gender identity" bc I still don't know if I actually fit in some, but he loves me anyway, and he still wanna hear my scream of redemption. I don't know who I am or what I am but i'm beautiful anyway. I love myself thanks to them. And yeah there's days where all I wanna do is be someone else, but i'm trying to embrace all my failures and mistakes, and that's what it is about. Thank you, BTS, for keeping me alive in this journey of trying to find myself.
keep fighting and try not to get too lost , you'll find out eventually, as long as youre happy and positive and never hurt someone or yourself. you can be whatever and whoever you want
Damn it Jose...this is the 3rd time I have seen this speech and it still tore me up. I had to laugh at your initial reaction because I was EXACTLY the same way...and then you started to stutter when you were explaining & I started bawling again. You expressed yourself perfectly love. I think we all felt it deep in the feels...😘💜
When RM started speaking, EVERYONE's heart was SOFT. Your reaction was exactly my reaction too! I started punching my pillows to bring back my manliness.
UN speech is trending #13 in the US!!!! The world needs to hear his speech!!! We spread self love, we spread love and positivity. We also CRUSH hate with LOVE. Love conquers all: famine, violence, hate and wars.
I've watched our President Joon's speech so many times. He spoke so beautifully and put so much thought and planning into his speech, he was so amazing and I just loved what he said. The message he gave us, Speak Yourself, what's your name? Truly a leader.
This is why I stan BTS harder than any of my other fandoms; Kpop, Marvel, books and films. BTS is and will forever be the group I will love till the end of my days
Ok hold up, I’m actually serious, joon got me crying like shit, I really be living my life saying I love myself, all because of BTS😭😭 people who are not influenced by BTS really missing out, ughhhh can’t relate
Not even a needle dropped in the room. Everyone silently and respectfully listened to every word he said. That's how powerful Namjoon and BTS are. Truly the most influential artists of the world right now. I am so proud. I have cried my eyes out everytime I watch this. Proud to be an ARMY, proud of my boys not making history for them, but for the world.
I ALSO CRIED!!!!! I showed my whole family Namjoon’s speech and they were all in awww. My mom also cried and my dad now understand a little more why I stan with BTS. 💜LoveYouNamjoon!!!!!!!❤️
Am sure everyone who are true fan of BTS had a teary eyes like I had as Namjoom continues with his speech espcially when he mentioned about earlier how others think of them as "hopeless" my tears started to flow down on my cheeks. I always have a huge respect for RM as a Leader and as human being but today that bar has raised even much higher. Love you so much BTS and love you too Jose.
José, you expressed yourself the best way anyone could... your expression said it all at the end of what you’ve heard. Everyone in the comments blown me away and I can’t even say anything.. I’m overwhelmed with awe.
RM brought me to tears. RM is very strong and always finds a way to get thou anything and everything. I'm very supportive that he neva gave up. My heart goes out to him and all the other members. Xx That's why I love RM so much.
I totally understood you and all the words you couldn't even find to say, because words are not adiquent enough to use for the emotions you felt. I love you Jose for who you are. Never stop being you, you are unique and special. Peace. 💜
I was also very touched by his speech, the message was clear and to the point. Having a grandchild that just came out makes his words even stronger. I tell him all the time that as long as he loves who he is, he can face anything that others throw at him. And yes, this is why I love BTS.
I watched RM's speech for the nth time and it hit me hard got me crying.then I saw Jose's reaction I thought I'm not gonna cry anymore but Jose got emotional I lost it I cried harder😭😭😭
This is why I love BTS so much 😭 it’s just.. I can’t really explain it with words much but I truly am in love with BTS because they really have helped me a lot I remember putting myself down all the time cause I didn’t want others to do it first I hated myself so much that I hurt myself a lot.... I regretted that thanks to BTS I am learning to love myself I learned how to say sorry to myself for all the things I have done to myself this video really made me cry I purple you BTS and ARMY’s always remember that 😊
No matter where you from 🙂really?😭 thank you Namjoon .I'm from IRAN. I can be proud now. We are just people 😔 not terrorist or whatever . It's so mean that some countries introduce us to their people like this . I'm an IRANIAN girl and I love ALL people and ALL countries . I want to send love and receive love . I love music , dance , helping others and ... . I'm an ordinary girl. Thank you Namjoon ❤ thank you BTS ❤ thank you A.R.M.Y ❤
My friends and I watched/listened to the speech while driving back to Quebec from Hamilton. We were super excited and after it, we couldn't find something to say... We were so proud of Namjoon and happy to see the members by his sides. Just wow! 💜
7:14 MY NAME IS VASHLEY AND BTS MAKES MY HEART ACCELERATE AT AN ALARMING RATE 😭 Anytime I'm having a bad day or I feel like I'm a worthless piece of shit all I have to do is think on them or watch a video and I won't be able to stop smiling I'm glad I'm apart of such an amazing fandom and I get to support seven amazingly talented artists 😭 I love you guys🙆😭💯%😘 Thank you🙏
You know, at this point the number of albums sold, the stadiums tour, the millions of fans, the level of fame they reached, all of this doesn't even matter to me anymore...THIS SPEECH and the campaign itself are the proof that one year ago, when I started loving them and their music, I seriously made the best choice of my life....saying that I'm proud of them is not enough to express how I actually feel...they inspire me everyday with their songs, they make me believe in myself, and maybe I don't love myself yet but thanks to them I'm really starting to, and nobody else was able to make me do so, not even my family and friends...don't get me wrong, they all love me and are proud of who I am but I've never been able and I also didn't want to believe them, I've always wanted to see only the bad things about me, I was disappointed in myself...but thanks to these seven wonderful men I'm starting to appreciate even the little things about me that I didn't see before...and after this speech I feel even more thankful.. I hope one day I'll be able to completely love myself as Namjoon said but in the meantime I just wish I could meet them and tell them that I love them so much for everything they've done for me and for all of us❤️ and since I'm here writing how I feel, I want to thank you too José, thank you for always being yourself in your reactions, for making me laugh and smile every single time you upload something, for cheering me up when I have a bad day, and most importantly thank you for your dedication and hard work, for putting so much effort in creating all these amazing contents for us❤️ I'm really trying to convince my parents to give me the money to support you on your patreon page, I hope I'll be able to help you soon, but until then I'll keep watching and loving your videos on RU-vid 😘
The world needs more people like RM. His words are like a warm hug and I feel like every person who listens to this will feel like he is speaking directly to them. Love yourself truly is a wonderful concept 💜
Like you said it makes me so proud to be an ARMY and a human being, and I feel the exact same way. The way they use their platform is so inspirational & emotional. I cried nonstop when Namjoon said “we truly have the best fans in the world” I showed my mom and she was in tears as well, she feels proud to know these 7 men are changing the world, and proud to know that I and millions and millions of us are their motor 💜 PROUD TO BE ARMY 💜💜💜
This made me cry because I have a really bad past I have been suffering all my life I have depression low self-esteem it just makes me happy when people make it better and help other people it just makes me happy and I started to cry man his words just hit me straight on the feels omg and ily so much Jose you keep doing a good job we will all be cheering for you I hope your channel gets bigger💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Don’t cry Bc now I’m crying for the 3rd time today. Ily so much and I’m glad we’re all apart of this family. We are stabbing the right and kind and most beautiful souls ever.
Same, Jose, same... I teared up heavily watching this speech. Namjoon is so poetic and inclusive. I'm still watching it again and again. I was even able to find the transcript for his speech. I love that I can come to your traction videos and inevitably share the same feelings as you with these videos. I laugh an cry with you. Today, was a good day. Namjoon did good. I'm soooo proud of him and BTS for continually aspiring to help the youth in this world in any means that they have. Music, social media, and partnering with UNICEF to expand their mission and spread their message of "Love Yourself" throughout the world.
If I thought I couldn't love BTS and Namjoon any more they proved me wrong today. To take a step on a truly global stage and put his thoughts and feelings out there, to speak the truth of their intent, to see them take that responsibility and run with it, to truly want to make the world a better place, I'm so so so proud of them! I watched this live and was a snotty crying mess by the end. And yes, the comment about skin color and gender identity.. wow. They did that. They are that group. I'm in awe of their beautiful souls. And dont worry about the speechlessness, its taken me hours to be even remotely coherent about this. Today was a truly beautiful historic day.
I can understand what are your feelings when you said you don't find the words to express yourself. When I watched the video (because I didn't know the exact time) I cry because his words touch my heart. His sincerity was real, we ARMY understand what he said about how people told them they had no hope, but those words are going to touch people who don't know who BTS is. How wonderful people they are. Kim Namjoon was so wonderful in his speech and everybody suspected is a window open for the next comeback. Do you remember what he said in Billboard Music Award? ARMY remember this love yourself. There are no words to describe BTS like only one unit, they are more than we expect. Because the love and support to BTS and the humanity lets support UNICEF and show them they made the right decision to pick BTS for this great job. See you in your next video.
I cry everytime I rewatch it. BTS has this unique ability to speak to us in so many levels. It's not just about the words but his feelings at that moment. He was trully feeling his spech, which makes us feel it even deeper. Kim Namjoon, The World Peace Creator
I'm so happy that they're so famous and so influencers, but they care about the fact that the most of us are teenagers and it's so important the "love yourself" thing for us!! Omg, they're legends.
I started crying listening to that speech honestly bts is so much more than a group there music has so much more meaning there so humble there is hope for this generation after all..
BTS' leader / lyricist delivered an impactful speech and its not even in his first language. Since 2013 BTS carries inspiring messages in their music. Adorable Representative MC for Youth ARMY. Thank you for inviting them❤#GenerationUnlimited #Youth2030 #LoveYourself #SpeakYourself
I cant listen to his speech without crying.He truly is Inspirational and has such a powerful presence. Hes the leader we need for the future of the children.Thanks RM
Namjoon speech touch my heart in a way, that made it clear why BTS aren't a group to me, but more than that. Also a group that I never felt so relatable at times. Ever since Love yourself series started, it really got me to see what I been trying to see different in this world. I. am. a. Christian, whom follows Jesus examples. Both showed me how to love myself, so I can love others, understand what others are going through, and be there for them. Can't wait for the next album. I'm assuming, if is Speak yourself, man I'll tear up some more. Because that hits home in my broken heart. Jose, you made me cry in the part you mention "Identity gender", because I can understand too.
i've already watched his speech three times, but had to watch it again with you. And I cried again. You don't need to say anything more than you did. We know how big this is. So proud of Namjoon, of BTS. And also so touched and moved by what he said. #speakyourself
Your reaction was so similar to mine. Today, i showed this to my mother, and she cried (i also cry the first time). That's the power of words, of RM/BTS's' words. It's such a beautiful and powerful message that, ironically, i don't know how to express myself properly. Just, *Love Yourself, Love Myself.*
I once hated myself because I can't be smart or cool or perfect like my friends. But when I listen to this speech from RM BTS, I started to realize that 'this is me. This is who I am. I should love myself. I shouldn't compare myself with my friends.' I cried a little, knowing that I never realize that I should know me, feel me. But RM's speech lead me to a new way to look myself. Thank you RM, thank you BTS, I'll try to learn to love myself. Thank you mr Jose for making this video.
this is such a beautiful reaction. i understand why its so hard to express it. this speech made me so overwhelmed, and it kind of reminded me of why i love them so much, and how they constantly help me 💜 im just kinda letting the tears flow. i am so happy to be alive at the same time as they are, to see all this beauty they give us and the world.
It felt nice knowing you’re not the only one going thru these things. It’s likw namjoon knew exactly how I felt and put it into words when I couldn’t explain myself
Namjoon's speech is so emotional because he himself always questioned and doubted himself on whether he's good enough to deserve all of this? Like am I worthy of being an idol, artist, and as a rapper(B- free insult?). It's clear that he is at a point of just loving himself for everything that he is. Proud Army!
this RM speech makes me think that "is this a hint for their next album?" since we learn already how to love ourself (love myself) its time now to speak ourselves(speak your self).
Jose, we love you. I watched the speech 3 times including yours and couldnt help tearing. As RM told us that its still me with mistakes and faults but Iv been accepting myself only when Im doing great on anything for my whole life. Now I may be more generous to myself.
Just wanted to say I started watching you recently. I'm soon to be 52 and because of my daughter started really liking you and BTS. I loved this ! They are all such amazing young men, and truly love their fans. I adore you ! Keep being you and doing what you do !
As a trans fan, it also hit me hard when he mentioned gender identity. I didn't expect it because I always expect bts to err on the side of caution because Korea is still a pretty conservative country. So when he said that? I got so emotional. And how poetic he was?? I love him so much. He's just the best.
The best speech I ever heard from Namjoon, it almost made me cry. he said earlier in The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that he was nervous when he was giving that speech
I’ve just received the BTS-UNICEF hoodie today in Sweden. I’m so proud of the seven boys and myself. I start to listen bangtan’s song in 2015 when there’s not many people know them. I’m not Army but just a music lover who cares and loves other people. The first year I start to like banyan because their song is very powerful. I‘’m pleased that I’ve seen how did they grown up to today’s success. RM yesterday’s speech bring me back to the those days when I listen to Heal the World time and time again. You did a great job of your generosity on this episode👍. For me, I will always support bts and unicef even though in a silently.
There are no words I can fathom up to express how his speech impacted me. And I'm multi-lingual. And in no language that i speak can I even begin to imagine words for how this affected me. BTS have saved my life. I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times, i will say it again, they saved my life and they don't even know it. But they comprehend the world around them in ways i could never even dream of. And for that they spread their message in powerful ways. And i am eternally greatful.
Like the 4th time I’ve seen his speech and it still gets me teared up. I’m so beyond proud of them😍 His words are just so well spoken and just so meaningful. He’s so smart and such an amazing man. They all are. Stan BTS everyone. ARMY since late 2014 and will forever be an ARMY. ❤️
I feel you Jose...when i first saw it i felt like there is a lump in my throat i was choking with emotion...the simplicity and sincerity of his speech yet so powerful it resonate not only to the youth but to everyone! people of all ages...skin color...gender identity indeed...it was so raw..i love this kids yes theyre like my kids and im so...so proud of what they've become.
I cant explain how proud of bts i am my bias KILLED that speech i literally cried the pacific ocean😂😂😂😂 i had to be pausing every minute😂😂😂 his speech is so touching and meaningful i cant believe some people think they r just some pretty rich korean boy group/band like...NO THEY R NOT THEY R SO MUCH MORE bts helped me out of depression,out of a dark place istg if i didnt find out about bts i would have been sad and not smiling for the rest of my life and i noticed namjoon looked like he had some trouble pronouncing some of the words but he managed and im glad he did AMAZING cant wait to see them on the jimmy fallon show tomorrow and see them on the peoples choice awards and dont worry jose i cried too as i said but u made me cry AGAIN UGHHH I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH I HOPE I MEET THEM ONE DAY😭😭😭😭😔😔😔👏👏👏👍👍💜💜💜
The BTS is not just promoting “ Love Yourself “ campaign with Unicef also being their partner and donating 10% of profits of their album & tour to this cause but did not even speak about it !!! They are genuinely really great guys!!!
This 6:30sec long speech has a great great impact to people. No words really can explain how important it is to others, to us. His choice of words is just excellent, hands off to Our Leader, Kim Namjoon. BTS you're doing a great job, we will continue to spread all your words and support you until the end! To Jose, I(we) love you sooo much! I may not say this all the time but I know you can feel it😊 You do you and what makes you happy!
Jose, I just wanna say thank you, like I'm really bad about getting info I mean I knew about this but just you keep me updated and in the know about a lot and I just wanna tell you that you are helping someone.
Yeah Bts are real Gem 💘 They have helped me a lot during my hardships , those depressions , sleepless night , anxieties & manymore . I am so touched by them . Now I am leaving all those shits and started living by loving myself 💕 . Proud to be Army fandom 😊 #Thanks for your precious reaction ..
I can't either find words to express my gratitude and love for this speech. As a writer, this speaks to me in so many ways. I purple this. I'm Leia. And writing makes my heart beat. Thank you, Kim Namjoon. Thank you, BTS!
