“It’s the first time in 12 years in a language that is not in English, and the first time ever for a Korean artist. Due to BTS, Korean popular music has jumped forwards to the world stage. Young people around the world can identify with life and love, dreams and pain through the language of K-Pop music.” — Moon Jae In

Young people all around the world find comfort and courage through BTS’s songs and dancing, dreams and passion. I congratulate you on the album ‘Love Yourself: Tear’ reaching #1 on USA’s ‘Billboard 200.’ It’s the first time in 12 years in a language that is not in English, and the first time ever for a Korean artist.

BTS puts their whole heart in their exceptional dancing and singing. They have a magical skill to turn sadness into hope, and differences into similarities. Each of the seven members put who they are and how they want to live into their music, and they overcame region and language, and culture and institutions.

Due to BTS, Korean popular music has jumped forwards to the world stage. Young people around the world can identify with life and love, dreams and pain through the language of K-Pop music.

I support BTS’s dreams of reaching #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, winning a Grammy award, doing a stadium tour, and becoming the most influential artists in the world. I also support their fan club ARMY, who are raising their voices to the world along with BTS.

Bulletproof, with the meaning ‘We’ll prevent the prejudices and oppression that teenagers experience.’ From now on, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, I will remember each of the names of the seven boys. As usual, this is a new start. Thank you for deeply moving our nation’s people, and people all around the world through your wonderful appearance.
