LOVE MYSELF
HER
起 Then they released their third mini studio album, LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘TEAR’ on May 18, 2018. BTS’ LOVE YOURSELF series bears the message that loving oneself is the beginning of true love. Whereas the previously unveiled LOVE YOURSELF 起 ‘WONDER’ and LOVE YOURSELF 承 ‘HER’ albums expressed the heart-fluttering and tingling moments of love, LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘TEAR’ album embodies the pain of boys faced with parting.
結 R E A N SW
On September 18,2017, BTS released their first Love Yourself Album series, 承 'HER'. This mini album consists of 9 songs. LOVE YOURSELF 承 'HER' is an expression of the anxiety and elation of love, told in the unique style of BTS. The “love” that BTS aims to convey in the LOVE YOURSELF series is both the individual experience of a boy growing into adulthood and a message of peace and unity to our society today. In the mini album 承 'HER' that begins this new narrative, the image of boys in love for the first time are expressed in a refreshing and cheerful take that aims to talk about the topic of “love” while immersed in a coming-of-age tale.
承 TEAR
轉 LOVE YOURSELF 結 ‘ANSWER’ is the final piece of the puzzle. Though it’s a repackaged album, LOVE YOURSELF 結 ‘ANSWER’ still includes seven brand-new tracks. The album was released on August 24, 2018 by Big Hit Entertainment and is available in four different versions: S, E, L, and F. The album contains twenty-five tracks (twenty-six for digital version), including seven new songs, with the track "Idol" serving as the lead single. Most tracks are from Love Yourself: Her, and Love Yourself: Tear, including some remixes. The album debuted at number one in South Korea, Canada, Japan and the United States, becoming BTS' second chart-topping album in the US market.

C H E E A P T S U M N R My name is Kim Nam Jun, also known as RM, the leader of the group BTS. It’s an incredible honour to be invited to an occasion with such significance for today’s young generation. Last November, BTS launched the “Love Myself” campaign with UNICEF, building on our belief that “true love first begins with loving myself.” We have been partnering with UNICEF’s #ENDviolence program to protect children and young people all over the world from violence. Our fans have become a major part of this campaign with their action and enthusiasm.

We truly have the best fans in the We have become artists performing in huge stadiums and selling millions of albums. But I am still an ordinary, twenty-four-year-old guy. If there’s anything that I’ve achieved, it was only possible because I had my other BTS members by my side, and because of the love and support of our ARMY fans.
I would like to begin by talking about myself. I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea. It’s a beautiful place, with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival. I spent a happy childhood there, and I was just an ordinary boy.
I would look up at the night sky in wonder and dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero, saving the world. In an intro to one of our early albums, there is a line that says, My heart stopped. I was maybe nine or ten. Looking back, 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 stars at night. I stopped daydreaming. I tried to jam myself into moulds 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. I had one sanctuary, and that was music.
There was a small voice in me that said, ‘Wake up, man, and listen to yourself!” But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name. Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were hurdles. Most people thought we were hopeless. Sometimes, I just wanted to quit. I think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up. I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling. We have become artists performing in huge stadiums and selling millions of albums. But I am still an ordinary, twenty-four-year-old guy. If there’s anything that I’ve achieved, it was only possible because I had my other BTS members by my side, and because of the love and support of our ARMY fans. Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too.

true love first begins with loving myself
r u o y d Fin n voice ow
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 was, who I am, and who I hope to become. I would like to say one last thing. After releasing the “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. their hardships in life and start loving themselves. These stories constantly remind us of our responsibility. 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”.

You can love others easily. You have to know that
before you love someone else(s), you have to love yourself first. Maybe it doesn’t make any sense at first. But let’s try to think, when you love someone else more than yourself, you’ll start doing stupid things for them even if it’ll break your heart or make you hurt so much. You don’t get to recognize yourself, who you are, what are you doing, is this the right thing to do, and so on.. This kind of thing will ends with lack of knowing your true self. But when you have love yourself, it means you know who you truly are, what’s the best and right things for you and not. If you know who you are, you can treat others the way you treat yourself and believe me it feels so good and healthy for you and them!

You Will Look Happier
Just like when you knows someone you love, you feel happy because it means you’re one step closer to them. When you know yourself, you know what makes you happy. And when you happy, others can see your happiness and also you can share your happiness to others. Loving yourself means you forgave yourself for all of the mistakes you’ve done and not getting embarassed with them anymore but you accept them. This means your weight is less and you feel more relax for yourself. No grudge at all. The aura inside of you will spread the happiness outside, by this means to your surroundings, wherever you are.

How To Love Yourself?
1 2 3 4 9
Start forgiving yourself, every mistakes that you’ve made to yourself or someone else. Try to admit all of your mistakes and keep in mind that you’re just an ordinary human and every human makes mistakes cause that is normal.
Just like Namjoon said on his speech, no matter who you are, where you’re form, your skin color, gender, etnic, you have to speak yourself and be true just the way you are. Every people in this world has their identity and uniueness. So you have to be proud for justs being yourself.
Try to say something positive everyday to yourself. For example when you wake up and see yoursel on the mirror, just say “I’m beautiful” even when your hair is messy and bare face. This kind of thing makes you appreciate yourself more.
Try to listen to your heart, what your heart says. If your heart says no, then don’t. If your heart says yes, then do it. If your heart feels uncomfortable, then you don’t belong there. Sometimes, our heart try to tells us the truth, but we deny it and makes us feel stressed.
