BTS gave an inspiring speech at the Blue House in honor of National Youth Day!

On the morning of September 19, BTS attended a special Blue House event commemorating South Korea’s very first National Youth Day. With President Moon Jae In and first lady Kim Jung Sook in attendance, the seven BTS members delivered an address together as honorary “youth leaders.”

Each of the BTS members took turns speaking, with RM kicking things off by stating, “We want to convey our support for all of the youth who are continuously taking on new challenges all over the world, as well as all of the youth who are bravely leading their own lives in South Korea.”

After BTS had reflected on their own journey and offered words of advice for “the youth of tomorrow,” Jin wrapped up the speech by remarking, “Just like the youth of yesterday and the youth of today, just as we have all done up until now, I hope that you will continue to walk briskly ahead towards the future without stopping. I hope that your exceptional thoughts will change the world, and I hope that you will lead the way and become the light of this day and age for the sake of the youth of tomorrow.”
