BTS LOVE MYSELF Campaign Continues
Recently, South Korean actor Kim Ji Soo faced twin charges of sexual assault and school violence, which shed light on the urgent need to end bullying. BTS’ LOVE MYSELF Campaign is a reminder to everyone why it is important to be kind towards each other, instead of spreading hate. “We are extremely moved and thankful that our LOVE MYSELF campaign, which began with small steps, is now being elevated to an even bigger partnership. We also strived to “LOVE MYSELF” ourselves, and I think we as a team and as individuals grew as well,” RM was quoted saying.
