유엔 무대 선 BTS…전세계 청년들에 "자신을 얘기하세요"
이제 다른 수식어가 필요없을 것 같습니다 방탄소년단, BTS가 유엔 무대에 섰습니다 "스스로를 사랑하고 자신의 이야기를 하라"면서 세상에 깊은 울림을 전해줬습니다 방탄소년단 (BTS) 유엔 연설 전문 (영어) My name is Kim Namjoon, also known as RM, the leader of the group BTS It is an incredible honor to be invited to an occasion with such significance for today's young generation Last November, BTS launched the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF built on our belief that true love first begins with loving myself We've been partnering with UNICEF's End Violence program to protect children and young people all over the world from violence And our fans have become a major part of this campaign with their action and with their enthusiasm We truly have the best fans in the world I’d like to begin by talking about myself I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea It is a really beautiful place with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival I spent a very happy childhood there, and I was just an ordinary boy I used to look up at the night sky and wonder, and I used to dream the dreams of a boy I used to imagine that I was a super hero who could save the world In an intro to one of our early albums, there’s a line that says, ‘My heart stopped when I was maybe nine or ten ’ Looking back, I think that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me, and started seeing myself through their eyes I stopped looking up at the night skies, the stars I stopped daydreaming Instead, I just tried to jam myself into the molds that other people made Soon, I began to shut out my own voice, and started to listen to the voices of others No one called out my name, and neither did I My heart stopped, and my eyes closed shut So, like this, I, we, all lost our names We became like ghosts But I had one sensory, and that was music There was a small voice inside of me that said, ‘Wake up, man, and listen to yourself ’ But it took me a long time to hear music calling my real name Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were a lot of hurdles Some people may not believe, but most people thought we were hopeless Sometimes I just wanted to quit But I think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up And I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling like this BTS has become artists performing in those huge stadiums and selling millions of albums right now, but I am still an ordinary 24-year-old guy If there’s anything that I achieved, it was only possible that I have my other BTS members right by my side, and because of the love and support that our ARMY fans all over the world make for us And maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me Today, I am who I am with all of my faults and my mistakes Tomorrow, I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’ll be me too These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life I have come to love myself for who I am, for who I was, and for who I hope to become I’d like to say one last thing: After releasing our Love Yourself albums and launching the ‘Love Myself’ campaign, we started to hear remarkable stories from our fans all over the world How our message helped them overcome their hardships in life and start loving themselves Those stories constantly remind us of our responsibility So let’s take all one more step We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to speak yourself I’d 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 color, your gender identity, just speak yourself Find your name and find your voice by speaking yourself I’m Kim Nam-joon, and also RM of BTS I am an idol, and I am an artist from a small town in Korea Like most people, I’ve made many and plenty mistakes in my life I have many faults, and I have many more fears, but I’m going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself gradually, just little by little What is your name? Speak yourself Thank you very much 📢 JTBC유튜브 구독하기 ( ✍ JTBC유튜브 커뮤니티 ( ▶ 기사 전문 ( ▶ 뉴스룸 다시보기 ( ▶ 공식 홈페이지 ▶ 공식 페이스북 ▶ 공식 트위터 방송사 : JTBC (
