BTS 2021

Dear RM,

Dear Namjoon,

I can see that you are concerned about something happening within your ranks. Something that until now has been forbidden, taboo.

I believe in you, Namjoon.

You can shepherd your flock through this. You can be their ally.

The world, the big(ger) world will embrace it.

If SK does not, then you are at sea. Captain of a ship which holds seven of the most precious humans.

Do not be afraid.

We walk with you. Your words are ringing true, every day.

“”So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to “speak yourself.”

“I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat?

“Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.

“Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.

“I’m Kim Nam Jun, RM of BTS.

“I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town in Korea.

“Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life.

“I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.

“

I am ARMY. We are all with you.
