BTS were invited again to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) event on September 23 at 9 AM EST or 10 PM KST. This year 2020, they were invited as special speakers for the 75th United Nations General Assembly. This marks BTS's second invitation as special speakers at the UNGA after back in 2018 they were also invited to the 73rd United Nations General Assembly.
The theme of their speech for the latest event was 'Let’s live on in a new world'. In their speech, which is partnered with UNICEF's #ENDviolance campaign, BTS address the current challenges of tomorrow's generation during the global COVID19 pandemic.
The BTS members began by sharing about how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected them over the past few months. In particular, Kim Seokjin (Jin) shared his inspiring and comforting thoughts, “I found again the people I love. The other members, my family, my friends. I found the music I love, and I found myself. Thinking about the future and trying hard are all important, but cherishing yourself, encouraging yourself, and keeping yourself happy are the most important.
Jin also talked about the importance of cherishing 'me', 'you', and 'us', which is the message of their “Love Myself” campaign and their latest single '
Here are some of netizens' thoughts about Jin's speech:
no but this is SO meaningful from Jin, who always tries so hard.
Seokjin reminds all of us to love yourself in the midst of uncertainty. He sums it up to “I’m a diamond, you know I glow up”. He is truly inspiring. A great role model for the youth. 💜💜💜
He is supportive, generous, philanthropic, loves his family and everyone who is under his responsibility - his pets, even writing a song about them. Seokjin always pushes himself to be better, the best version of himself and encourages everyone around him to be as well.
Such beautiful words... I really love the way he expresses his thoughts. This is why ARMYs know that Jin is more than just a pretty face. 💜
