-Thank you, Mr.

Secretary-General, UNICEF executive director, and all the excellencies and distinguished guests from all across the world.

My name is Kim Nam-joon, 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.

And 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 superhero 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 might not believe, but most people thought we were hopeless.

And 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.

With so many young fans around the world, it was a pleasure having BTS with us, and I'm thankful that you use your platform and creativity to reach young audiences with positive

messages about what it means to be a young person in the world today.

まずは私自身についてお話ししましょう。

私はソウル近郊のイルサンという町で生まれました。

そこは湖や丘があり、毎年花の祭りが開かれるとても美しい場所です。

It is a really beautiful place with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival.

そこで幸せな子供時代を過ごし、ただの普通の少年でした。

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.

世界を救えるスーパーヒーローだと想像していました。

I used to imagine that I was a superhero who could save the world.

初期のアルバムの一つのイントロには、「心が止まったのはたぶん 9 歳か 10 歳の頃」という歌詞があります。

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."

振り返ってみれば、あの時こそが他人の評価を気にし始め、他人の目を通して自分を見るようになった瞬間だったのだと思います。

Looking back, I think that's when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through透过 their eyes.

夜空や星を見上げるのをやめました。

I stopped looking up at the night skies, the stars.

空想することもやめました。

I stopped daydreaming.

代わりに、他人が作った型にはめようと必死になりました。

Instead, I just tried to jam myself into the molds模式 that other people made.

すぐに自分の声を遮断し、他人の声に耳を傾けるようになりました。

Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others.

誰も私の名前を呼ばず、私も呼ぶことはありませんでした。

No one called out my name, and neither did I.

心は止まり、目は閉ざされました。

My heart stopped, and my eyes closed shut.

こうして、私たちみんな名前を失いました。

So, like this, I, we, all lost our names.

まるで幽霊のようでした。

We became like ghosts.

しかし、一つだけ感覚がありました。それは音楽です。

But I had one sensory感官的, and that was music.

でも、私には一つだけ感覚がありました。それは音楽です。

There was a small voice inside of me that said, "Wake up, man, and listen to yourself."

心の奥で小さな声がこう言っていた。「目を覚ませ、自分自身に耳を傾けろ」と。

But it took me a long time to hear music calling my real name.

でも、音楽が私の本当の名前を呼ぶのを聞くまで、長い時間がかかりました。

Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were a lot of hurdles障碍.

BTS に加入すると決めた後も、多くの障壁がありました。

Some people might not believe, but most people thought we were hopeless.

信じられない人もいるかもしれませんが、多くの人々は私たちを希望がない存在だと思っていました。

And sometimes I just wanted to quit.

時々、やめたいと思いました。
