K-Pop's BTS On Why They're Unique, Their Parents' Generation & More | Next Generation Leaders | TIME 

These 7 men will literally go down in history and i couldn’t be prouder to witness it myself GUYS BUY NAMJOONS MIXTAPE ‘MONO’ that drops on 23/10 !!!

for being old korean and same generation as yoongi's father, I am so touch by yoongi's comment. we were so poor, even though i lived in seoul, middle of myungdong, i remember many kids didn't have lunch and kids drink a water for replace the hunger, and when i came here in 70's lot of people asked me "where is korea? i never heard of your country. now bts became so popular and people get interested in korea which is so small country and being attack constantly looked down by china and japan which is still on, and bts popularity make Koreans feel proud and confident for their nation. THANK YOU TIMES AND BTS.

2013:IF I RULED THE WORLD 2018:NEXT GENERATION LEADERS omg, it's been a 4 years.. now they're leading the kpop sector

I am so happy for Suga,that his father is now PROUD of him.

I'm so proud of BTS. From being literal nobodies from a small company in Korea, to rising so high despite all the negativity thrown at them. Seeing them be called "Next Generation Leaders" and "The World's Biggest Boy Band", it's truly a dream that none of us have ever dreamed of! Thank you so much for treating our boys so well and for acknowledging their positive messages and it's impact 💜

My dad experienced the Beatles. I experienced BTS. ❤

Is it just me or is Hobi getting finer every day?

Tbh I'm not a kpop fan but I love bts. They're more than just some artists from Korea, they're beyond that. I fell for their sincerity in their music, performances, lyrics and most importantly their personalities

These are the same guys I saw at the UN with an incredible speech! They truly deserve the title of Next Generation Leaders, they are doing wonders to the world

I'm not even Korean myself but I'm so proud of their achievements and them being an ambassador to korean culture. I'm sure all I-lovelies are proud too💜💜💜

0:23 Jimin looks like he's at a parents conference with Namjoon and Jin?

To those naysayers, haters and critics who thought "how can a group of men from a foreign country change the world? ", you are looking at them and their fruits of their long, long labors are now finally bearing forth. To label them as "just another boyband" is truly doing a disservice to these leaders and trend setters. Yes, their music is catchy, hip and modern. So is their looks and creativity. But more importantly, what really differenatiates them is the message in their art, the example that they set for others to positively mimic and as true leaders breaking down barriers when there is one and setting one's path in spite of challenges and trepidations. Their involvement with the United Nations was not just a PR campaign. All of the BTS members truly believe in their message of loving oneself before loving others. No one before them have focused on that crucial aspect of life into the mindset of the youth. It maybe be a simple thing to do, but it really isnt if you think about it. That fresh perspective will change countless number of lives and their destinies. Thank you BTS for existing and thank you for using your platform to bring true, positive change to this world. We purple you.

I'm Indian. And the best thing about all this is that, they're not just spreading Korean culture, they're inspiring us to embrace whatever we are, and our own cultures as well. As an Indian, I never felt how important it is to stick to your values and roots, despite of coming from a great country with an epic history and culture. Seeing them embrace their culture makes me wanna embrace and be proud of my own as well. They're making everyone stronger. 💜

Yoongi talking about his parents! Thank you for this!

There's often misunderstandings when the media "tries" to reflect the youth and its concerns but I'm glad they chose BTS this time because the seven of them do are taking steps and speeding messages that can make this world a better one for the present and future generations with loving ourselves as a basis, BTS do are next generation leaders

Not just the first korean group to top Billboard album chart. But the first Asian group to do so. Their influence, and the spread of their music surpasses countless boundaries. Im not korean but as an Asian im so proud of them.

If your ever feeling down, just remember that out of billions of years, your where born in a time where these 7 beautiful, genuine, heavenly angles graced this earth with their presence and love.

I know a lot of people like to shit on BTS but if they were to just give them a chance and stop and look at the positive impact they have on people, young and old, they would understand why BTS are where they are today. You don't have to like BTS' music to respect them and their achievements. They have worked tirelessly and they're genuine about what they do. BTS are more than deserving of all the hype, love and attention they get. They have a message and a story to tell and I respect that.

It is not about Korean cultural invasion. It is about the people. By that, I mean BTS. They represent for the youth around the world, not just Korean. That is why I support them, from the bottom of my heart. I would love to see how influential and inspiring they will be in the future. I am proud to stand, not the biggest boyband on earth, but the representatives of the youth in this decade. #LoveYourself

i cryed when suga mentioned how there parents were born during the war and hhardly had anything to wear or eat really proud of u boyz .u did it for ur hhappiness, ur parents happiness and armys happiness, always be in a special room in my heart u walked and fought by urself through this journey now army will walk with u in this journey holding ur hand

"A TEAM is not a group who work together. A TEAM is a group who love and trust each other" and this is truly BTS.

I'm honestly so happy that I have them by my side. A few years ago, I was in a traffic accident that made me unable to walk for a period of time, and caused me post traumatic stress that resulted in years of depression and anxiety. I have no word to describe how Bangtan helped me during my journey of recovering myself. They helped me more than my therapist, my family, and as much as my friends. Everyone bet that I couldn't go to uni bc of my anxiety, and I did it bc I told myself that Namjoon is going through hardship as well but do not give up. I told myself he would be proud to see me succeed. Every time I felt like giving up their music cheered me up. I ended up being a top student. It's still surprising to me to this day. If dope and nevermind weren't there at that time, to tell me I can, would I be where I am now ? Yesterday, I drove my car to uni for the first time while a few years ago I couldn't sit in one without having a panic attack. I obviously played BTS in the car. My dear friends were once again with me. They were there when they told me I could do whatever I wanted, and they were there when I did it. They will still be there tomorrow. So remember, you never walk alone 💛

As a person who's parents are born into war but not encouraging their kids to promote country i admit i started sobbing when hearing yoongi's words... I hope i can make them proud and think differently, thanks for saving my life and directing me towards loving myself boys... I will never be able to express my thankfulness but I'll always remember what you thought me: to love myself

The moment when Namjoon mentioned gender identity I immediately teared up because gender identity is something I struggle with personally, so to know I have the support from at least namjoon that made me feel better, because I don't receive support from my family and I really look up to BTS so to hear a member say that just brought me to tears.

BTS honestly changed my life. I fell in love with Korean culture and the language bc of them and moved to Korea. I have tons of new friends, a relationship, and soo many opportunities to travel and learn to understand and better myself now because of them. I don't really listen to kpop much anymore but I'll always stan BTS and be grateful to them for all that they do. I know some might think I'm crazy to move to another country "because of a band" but it wasn't for them or to see them it was something I had always wanted to do they just gave me a location and the courage to do it. 💜

What a handsome group of young men.

I have tried to listen to many groups in the past but none of them have called my attention as BTS I guess that's why they are now my favorite boyband

ARMY is the best thing that iv been part of, such a beautiful fandom. BTS has touched more than millions of hearts. They deserve great things after all of their sacrifice

My mom likes bts .. That's enough for me

There's a LOT OF boyband in this whole damned world, but BTS attracts me with their talent, passion, dance, attitude and their personality. I'm so glad that now they're spreading their wings worldwide and more people gets to know them, NOT ONLY because of their music and looks, BUT ALSO because they do SOMETHING REAL. They're saving LIVES. And that's just amazing.

As someone who came from Korea when I was young and not having any sort of Korean influence in western society, I can say I’m very proud of how far BTS has come and what they’ve all been able to accomplish. They’ve brought a new culture into western society’s eyes and it allows for many people, not just Koreans, to look up to someone so powerful and humble. Even if you don’t like their music, I believe all Koreans should be thankful that BTS has brought so much influence into western culture. I wish them all the best!!

I am so proud to be an Army. BTS has changed me for the better. Through them and their music, I have learned to love myself and put my all into everything I do. ​

Those are some real powerful keywords being emphasized by our Next Generation leaders. BTS has been living by their words and they are the apt ambassadors to take this to the next generation. 1. Teamwork 2. Positive values 3. Upholding your culture 4. Love yourself 5. Accepting diversity 6. Making parents and country proud

BTS really starts from the very bottom, a small company lack of big money, networks, industry supports, got lots ridiculous bashings and unfair treatments, not an overnight success, they humbly walk their uneasy path step by step for 5 years. Too proud of them.

They do this stuff, tour all around the world, practice dance, do V live to connect with fans, create songs AND manage to smile for us. I'm truly proud to call myself an ARMY.

"You show me I have reasons I should Love myself~" Thank you so much Bangtan for being the amazing role models and leaders in my life for a close year now. I have been through a lot and I know I can count on your music to save my day❣️ I will never forget December 7, 2017, the day I became an ARMY💜 Love, Genavieve.

Suga is so knowledgeable. Every speech he made really hve a deep impact on u. He is really amazing 👍👍👍

They really are the Next Generation Leaders. So genuine & so inspiring!

The fierceness in J-hope’s eyes, in the cover photo, captivated me for a little bit lol😳

I got my dad to like BTS that’s all I need lmao

I have to say. Different of a lot of others kpop groups, BTS has given to their company, bighit recognization, instead of the company do this job for them. They really deserves all of this because it was for their own merit, their life stories and pure talent catched a genuine audience. I am a fan and I am so proud of what they become. And I know, they have so many things to conquer. I will be there for them. BTS Army forever 💜

So, hard work does at last pay off. If you want to sit on a throne, you gotta fight for the crown. There's no success that is achieved easily. Blood sweat and tears my boys shed! No one deserves this more than you. I love you i love you i love you.

I love suga's way of talking about things and what he says, i always have the feeling that he's very smart and thoughtful and just deep, everytime he talks in interviews it's on point and also that he says the things he wants to say in korean so that he's really able to bring his views across instead of squeezing out a sentence or two in broken english, i like that a lot. No offence to the other boys tho, i love how their english is improving!

I am so unbelievably proud of how far they've come. When they first debuted, their company was almost bankrupt, so much so that all 7 of them shared a one bedroom apartment and could barely afford 2 meals a day. They worked so hard to get where they are today and have poured their hearts and souls into all of their music and everything they do. It has been an incredible journey and these past 5 years have been the best years of my life. Watching them grow and achieve all that they have is so heartwarming and tear-jerking and I hope their futures hold even more success and joy. BTS, after all the hardships, doubt and struggle, you showed the world how with hard work and dedication, even the most unlikely of people can make their dreams and aspirations come to life. I am endlessly proud of you all and love you with all of my being. I hope only good moments bless your days. ♥

Just knowing Suga’s rough and broken past with his parents I love that he can say his work and BTS’s work has paid off to make his parents proud. All of their parents proud. I’m so freaking proud of all of them and they inspire me to be myself and to love myself every day.

I’ve never been this dedicated to a group. Like they’ve open up si many things about me while following them. They are indeed next generation leaders. As RM said, no one will put you down because you are small or young, eventually fools change the world and I believe that. He has said that before they even become famous and I’m amazed. When you really are sincere to spread positivity you get the recognition little by little.

they were start with nothing before but of course their talent catched my eyes in 2013. i remember how difficult it was that i just wanted to know them in youtube or searching their reality show was sooooo hard.. well yeah it was 2013 back then so no wonder its really hard to find them in youtube. but look at them now... i know from the start they will be a big boyband someday cuz they're so different, now im like a proud mom.. i feel honour that i could witness their great journey.. great job sons!!

#SpeakYourself Hi, I'm Marina, 16 and I'm from Brazil. When I was 8, my brother, who was 19, came out to us and my father kicked him out, I couldn't talk to him anymore and my conservative father made me believe my older brother was actually wrong. As I became older, I started doubting my father and questioned his actions. 2 years ago I created a facebook account and added my brother but I couldn't talk to him, it was awkward after so many years (and i still didn't know much about homosexuality, only the bad things my father and his church friends told me, so I was scared that maybe he really was the wrong one). My brother shared a lot of things in his facebook but what caught my attention was videos from a korean band that I've never heard about. I searched them on youtube after watching some videos there and ended up becoming a fan. A few weeks later my brother messaged me, saying he saw me sharing bts' videos and he was happy to know we had something in common. We talked a lot, never mentioning the reason we stopped talking in first place and it wasn't awkward at all, I also realized that him being gay didn't change anything. He seemed normal to me. A bit happier. It took me a few months, but I convinced my father little by little to let my brother come over, it was awkward at first but I talked to him many times privately and he eventually understood my brother and let him come over whenever he wanted. I also introduced my father to BTS, I told him me and my brother grew closer because of them, and my father said he want us all to go to a BTS concert when they perform here again. I'm so grateful to these 7 kind men. They helped me bring my family together, helped me copy with my mother's death and I even made some army friends online. I'll never be able to tell them how MUCH i love them for this.Yoongi, Joon, Jimin, Hobi, Jin, Tae and Kookie... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 💜🙏

Thank you for this TIME. I loved the boys' comments. It shows that they are not just idols, but are socially aware, and that they are proud of being Korean.

I always thought they were amazing artists and incredible role models, but Next Generation LEADERS is a better description.

THIS. People need to see this. That’s what bts stands for

They are breaking so many barriers and still some people say, “so what?” Haters and non-fans can say whatever they want, but no one on earth can deny the positive social impact these guys are having on the world. True, there have been many talented artists and celebrities that paved the way for them but BTS is also paving that way even further!!~~~ They are positive and wonderful ambassadors for their own country and culture, ambassadors for the youth of our generation, ambassadors for Asian representation in a predominantly Asian-lacking musical/celebrity mainstream-scene, ambassadors for everyone to have pride in theirselves and be who they are. You can hate on them, you can not understand the hype, you can stay neutral and not care, you can not know who they are, but you can’t deny that once you actually give them some time of your day, you’ll really be impressed by the sheer amazingness of these guys. It’s undeniable and I’ve honestly witnessed this happening to so many people around me already.

I think bts isn’t just a kpop group anymore. They have become inspirations and leaders for many around the world

"It's too early to be awed, look out for my future I'll go toward the path of my success as much as u looked down on me" (BTS 'We On' song.. They wrote this song in 2013 which their debut year when people criticized them and laugh on them.. And look at today after 5 years.. But still some people hate them when they did nothing wrong for them..) 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Min Suga speaks such wise words

💜💜💜💜💜 i have loved bts ever since seeing bulletproof in 2013, they’re amazing and I’ve always known they would become massively popular. I have mental illness and they have been there for me in spirit and music while i was trapped in hospitals losing my mind, they were my hope while i was having panic attacks. so their music is very special to me and calms me down when im getting anxiety. they didn’t get me into kpop, i have been a kpop fan since 2009, tvxq, super junior, shinee and bigbang got me into kpop. but bts somehow ended up being my bias group right after bigbang.

Yoongi never talks too much on interviews but when he dose it's always words of wisdom!

This is so incredible, the Korean industry tries to pass a perfect image of the Idols as if everything was perfect and BTS changed that, their songs speak of depression, anxiety and so many other problems that we are living, I am happy that among so many singers who are only talk about money and cars, there are these guys to convey such an important message

I'm proud to be able to call myself a fellow army, and experience BTS make history. Even though they were in London and I didn't get to see them, I know that I will work hard to be able to go to their concert the next time they come to the UK. Although I'm not Korean, I'm so proud of them. They've come so far and they deserve all of this attention! I literally screamed when I found out that they would be on The Graham Norton Show, they performed so well and it was the first time I got to see BTS on my tv. So proud! ALSO Get well soon JK + JM!!

My parents came from poverty too and it’s tough to think that you parents had a difficult time growing up. As their child you want to give them the world because that what you think they deserve. I’m a bit emotional right now because I can relate to them in this aspect. It’s amazing to seem them succeed and be able to give their family a good life. I’m happy for them

BTS is the epitome of disrupters by shaking up how one is expected to compete in the Western-centric music world by re-writing the rules of engagement, defying odds, challenging hegemonic norms & ultimately proving that good talented hardworking little guys can beat the Goliaths. They are true vanguards of challenging the status quo who make people become a little less cynical and jaded by what’s going on in the world right now. They are leading a movement and not a quiet one if you’ve been to any of their concerts. 😂

This is a topic that I've actually never seen BTS talk about... How interesting to hear about their parents and what being a Korean is to them, in relation to the Korean war also.

BTS: you can't stop me loving myself Me: you can't stop me loving you 💕😍

I knew from the very first time i laid my eyes on them they were not your ordinary kpop act. Ive been a critic or a kpop hater before i met bts. I would always say kpop is very superficial but bts changed my perspective. BTs production talks about universal and timeless theme and is on another whole new level.

its really nice seeing bts gain recognition for their influence in spreading empowering messages to the youth of today! their music is powerful and really resonates with so many people, transcending barriers of culture and language~ thank you so much BTS and time for this interview!

what a TIME to be alive

0:23 who puts jimin in between namjoon and seokjin? omg so tinyyyy

BTS has become Legend(ary)......not just icons not just kpop...not just super talented......BTS is where can you find the old the young beautiful people of all races all genders come together reach across seas....oceans to share their stories and part of their lives with others...as a child I could only dream of such a thing happening for me its my miracle that we as ARMY can share like this....I love BTS for their strength and willingness to share it....for their Love....for their sacrifices, commitment...determination...talent....and sharing the beauty that is Korea....if it is one thing that BTS has taught me it is this....Love can be many things...it is not skin color, its not gender, its not I win you lose, it can open your eyes, crumble lies, it can be compromise, it can conquer fears, Love can dry all tears, Love can be stronger than steel and give you iron will....Love can be all these things and more but Love is Strongest when given Freely....as they do everyday to ARMY....They are Legend(ary).... congrats again to BTS!.....Love BTS and ARMY!

I can’t wait to tell my future kids and grandkids that I was alive and witnessed the time when BTS was on top of the world

my daughter loves them and has been a fan since 2013 she never stops talking about them and after thus i really understand why, they really deserve everything that they are getting! And I I found my favorite song fake love! I always thought bts were stupid and it would be a passive thing with my daughter but I'm do thankful it wasn't they saved my daughter from death and I really hope one day I van thank them for that, GO BTS AND ARMY

I am not their relative, not a Korean, neither their mother, I am also younger then Jungkook by one year. But I feel sooooo proud of them. I see them since they were a hopeless band, they did not have anyone's support since they came from a really small company. And the entertainment industry in Korea is governed by only 3 companies ( not anymore bts company took one out of the list, with only one group, There is no more The Big3) . Seeing their growth by their own efforts makes me really proud. This is the types of stories I mostly enjoy, a personal growth from the bottom to the top. They came a really long way, I am proud of the humans they had become and I am happy that they are expressing a such a positive message, and that is continuously reflected on their actions.

So hardworking, so talented. Im glad they are getting noticed as NEXT GENERATION LEADERS

They came from nothing, were thought to be "nobodies" "rookies" "they're not gonna go far" "They're not even from Big3" and today are being called "The Korean version of the Beatles" ( based on their impact, not comparison- chill), "The most powerful boyband in the world", "Next generation Leaders", "The world's biggest boyband" and still remain humble and true to themselves. I'm so proud of them and how far they have come, and nobody- not even haters can take BTS and ARMYs down.

BTS is always been my inspiration. They help me went thru my depression and mental breakdown throughout my medical school. I'm gonna graduate my med school in 3months from now. Thanks for accompanying my 6 years medical school. I'm gonna be a doctor now. Thanks for making me keep on fighting and motivate myself to reach my dream. I used to dream big, to be one of those world leaders and go to the UN and other world class conferences when I was a middle and high school student. But as I grew up, I stop dreaming and only think to pass my exams, grad, be a doctor and just get thru with life. But you BTS, give me hopes and make me want to dream higher again. Let's meet one day, not as BTS and ARMY, but as someone who changed the world. Let's meet at the UN conference, shall we? 💜 P/s: I'm still gonna go to your Asian tour concert first as my self-reward gift after my graduation ceremony and before I enter my hectic life as a doctor 😂💜 Please pray that I 'll get the tickets! 💜

This makes me wanna cry :'( I am not even Korean. As a Turkish person I do love Koreans as our brother folk. I also have so many kind korean friends who are just friendly to you without expecting anything in return. Koreans are among the friendliest and most fun people on earth

Thank you for including that part of Namjoons speech 💜💜💜

BTS is just not any other group, trust me take it from a person who never really shows interest in a lot of things, i go from one interest to another because i get tired of sticking to only one thing, i discovered BTS when i searched for the top k pop boy groups in the internet they were listed at 2nd place. After a year or so my brother played a few Korean music like i need u and run by BTS i really liked it, and when i found out it was sung by BTS, i again started to search them, and slowly my little interest turned into an obsession, learning how they came from a small company, and doing things that defied the boundaries of k pop, their touching lyrics, their sincerity, their love for army, its been 2 years now, and im still here, i still cant believe it, and not a day passes by when i dont think of my 7 angels, hell i even made a twitter account only because of them, i know a lot of groups, but BTS, BTS is just different, they are so real, they seem to control their own destiny, and are free from the bondage's of k pop norms, believe me I would not have stuck around for this long if they were not playing a big part in my life. Well that was long i could go on for ages, but basically yeah they are the best, and if u have read this long comment, and stuck around, strong power, thank you.

R o l e x. *Suga whispering voice*

Am i the only one that burst into tears, watching how far these beautiful men have come?

RM is a great public speaker. Good job!

SO PROUD ♡

"Next Generation Leaders" love the sound of it so much...

Yoongi 😭 I purple all of you BTS💜

Thank you TIME NEWS for sharing this !!! I almost started to tear up at Yoongi’s part/what he said these boys really are unique,hardworking and love each other so much 😭!

I started crying when Yoongi talked about their parents generation being born after the Korean War, and the difficulties that came with it.........

That's why i was never interested in kpop no matter how people forced it down my throat everytime until my bestie introduced bts to me. Their uniqueness and brotherhood really draws me in and i don't think i can get out of this. I will always stay as army. And only army i guess 😔

Before kpop, i never took an interest in music. Not even once. Sure i listen to the radio, know a jist of the top hits but i never stop to listen any in my spare time. Music to me was meaningless and my narrow minded self thought all music were like that. Fillers and there for de stress. I never wore earphones or jammed in my room like most people do. But 2 years ago was when i first discovered kpop. Bts isnt the first group i love and i told myself to not have favourites. But over the months and year it became more apparant who i listened to the most and gave more Time to. Their success blew away so many people but in reality if you break it all down its easy to reason why and what made them this well known. Their lyrics are unlike anything ive ever read and sometimes i question how one can come up with the idea and tune and went on to develop the song. Most of the songs are written by RM, Suga and Jhope (from the credits in albums) and i wonder how the songs can become better and better with each cb. Its so hard to maintain a peak and yet they keep rising. One summit after another. They are the first group that made me cry listening to one their songs and think about life. They make us stop and think in this hectic schedule of ours that we live through daily. They made such a big impact in my life and affected the decisions i made and will make. They shaped me as a person for the last 2 yrs and my only regret is that i wish i knew them sooner. Much sooner. But all this time theres never a day that i dont think about these 7 beautiful, hard working individuals who strived for what they want to achieve and defied what kpop is for the last decade. They made a change and it inspired us to do the same for us, to chase our dreams that others looked down upon or isnt a realistic path to take. They made me realise mine, and it is a hard path but im willing to fight for it. They communicate with fans and actually love them, love us and tell us things we NEEDED to hear. The words that comfort us and hug us. The blanket that help us cope. They are our solace and a voice in this generation. They help us when no one else did. That is why they are so so successful. Im not even exaggerating when i say they have saved lives equal to that of doctors, in terms of mental health. So to the haters, i cant comprehend how one can hate the people who represent the brighest flower in the mud. They are the sun when it is dark, and the best medicine to us Army. I pity them for not being able to see what Bts has done and see past their achievements and their performances on stage. They are so much more than world class performers. They are a voice this generation needed. They spoke for us and made everyone LISTEN, through music, interviews and their speech at the UN. I cant ever repay them bc my debt runs far higher than the Namsan tower, except to show them my love and support even during when they enlist, even when they retire years later. I am broke and have zero merch. But after 2 yrs of waiting i finally got to see them in person at London's concert on the 9th. I cried. I cried seeing the 7 tiny people in a far away stage who saved my life when i wanted to end it bc the pain was numbing and a sickness. I stopped doing what i loved and it is still hard. But they are the only ones in 19 years of my life who made me think to myself "hang on. Just hang on for one more day" People never knew how i survived without music back then. But it was after Bts that i realised, it wasnt that i survived. I was dead before then, but they made me alive and made me see the little things that are worth living for, and they are the top of the list.

The best thing about this interview is that they let bts speak in Korean. Some words can really get lost in translation, so I think dangggg good job TIME

Owwwww they are BTS! 🙌 THAKYOU TIME NEWS 💖for share this interview 🤗💕💕

Great music and great message. BTS is a rare treat in this often cynical world. Thanks for the beauty guys!

Getting big and bigger errrday 💜

Why BTS are unique: They’re BTS

Amazing! So proud of these 7 men, who are impacting our world positively and making it a better place for all of us! I hope Bangtan reaches the heights if greatness!

Much respect for these boys going from 0 to a 100. I may not understand the lyrics because I don't speak korean but I know they are spreading a good message to people out here having a hard time. And when they themselves are having hard times they have the fans rooting for them. This is one case where they stayed humble with themselves even after the glitz and glam. And their fandom is also one of the most humble fandom i've seen. Again, much respect for them, their lyrics, and their fans.

I’m so happy for yoons that his parents have finally come to realise what an intelligent, inspiring, kind, and legendary son they have

I like how its by yoongi.. his voice is so calming

I dunno why but I really proud of them. They're prove Us nothing Im possible when you're dreaming. They're break that barriers (even it's not easy with prejudice, racist etc). But They're keep flying higher with their fans (It's like they've their own world with their fans). I see them not just as an artist/musician but a person too. I just hope the best for them in the future!

Suga mention of the hardships of his parents and grandparents generation upbringing after the Korean War which was a little over 60 years ago is something all Koreans understand and share. It is incredible how Korea rose up from nothing in a short span of time . I can only imagine how proud his parents must be of them and that they represent our country in such a impactful and positive light makes me super proud of BTS of their accomplishments and to be Korean.

BTS is extremely educational, thank you for opening my eyes and awareness of talent and music beyond mainstream USA , it’s quite refreshing and truly mesmerizing

They're are beautiful in their own unique way ❤
