After their first speech in 2018, BTS returned this year at 75th UN General Assembly to continue building on their previous message “Love Yourself.” This year, they conveyed a message “Live goes on, let’s live on” to encourage and support each other during this difficult time.
BTS was invited by the Group of Friends of Solidarity for Global Health Security to talk about the struggles future generation might face because of the Covid-19. And due to the pandemic, the 75th United Nations General Assembly was held online through virtual meetings.
Henrietta Fore, as the Executive Director of UNICEF, stated the current condition and how young people might feel now. BTS then delivered their encouraging speech regarding the current situation.
What BTS feel is no different from what we feel
“COVID-19 was beyond my imagination. Our world tour was totally canceled, all our plans went away, and I became alone. I looked up but couldn’t see the stars at night.”
RM
“I felt hopeless. Everything fell apart. I could only look outside my window; I could only go to my room. Yesterday, I was singing and dancing with fans around the world, and now my world had shrunk to a room.”
Jimin
But this time it felt different. It felt lonelier and smaller. I was frustrated and depressed.”
V
Thankfully, we have what is so-called technology
“The room itself was small, but my world and our world reached far and wide. In this world, we had our instruments, our phones, and our fans.”
Suga
BTS uses the current emotion as inspiration
This is where the music came from, and this made us honest.”
J-Hope
We are stars of our lives
“If I give up here, then I’m not the star of my life.”
V
“Thinking about the future and trying hard are all important. But cherishing yourself, encouraging yourself, and keeping yourself happy is the most important. In a world of uncertainty, we must cherish the importance of ‘me,’ ‘you,’ and ‘us.'”
Jin
Our tomorrow may be dark, painful, difficult. We might stumble or fall down. But the stars shine brightest when the night is darkest. If the stars are hidden, let the moonlight guide us. If even the moon is dark, let our faces be the light that helps us find our way.”
RM
It’s the message in the lyrics of our song Dynamite ‘I’m diamond, I know I glow up’ “
Jin
BTS is always with us
We live in uncertainty, but really, nothing’s changed. If there’s something I can do, if our voices can give strength to people, then that’s what we want, and that’s what we’ll keep on doing.”
Jungkook
“We must try to love ourselves and imagine our future. BTS will be there with you.”
RM
“Life goes on, let’s live on”
