-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.

BTS' Speech at the United Nations | Speak Yourself (2018)

-Thank you, Mr.

감사합니다, 사무총장님, 유니세프 집행이사님, 그리고 전 세계 각지에서 오신 귀빈 여러분.

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

제 이름은 김남준, 약칭 RM 입니다. 방탄소년단의 리더를 맡고 있습니다.

My name is Kim Nam-joon, also known as RM, the leader of the group BTS.

오늘의 젊은 세대에게 매우 의미 있는 이 자리에 초청되어 영광입니다.

It is an incredible honor to be invited to an occasion with such significance重要性 for today's young generation.

작년 11 월, 우리는 유니세프와 '러브 마이셀프' 캠페인을 시작했습니다. 진정한 사랑은 먼저 나 자신을 사랑하는 것에서 시작된다는 믿음에 기반한 것입니다.

Last November, BTS launched the Love Myself campaign运动 with UNICEF, built on our belief that true love first begins with loving myself.

우리는 유니세프의 '폭력 근절 프로그램'과 협력하여 전 세계 어린이와 청소년을 폭력으로부터 보호하는 활동을 하고 있습니다.

We've been partnering合作 with UNICEF's End Violence program to protect children and young people all over the world from violence.

우리는 전 세계의 어린이와 청소년을 폭력으로부터 보호하기 위해 유니세프의 '폭력 근절 프로그램'과 협력해 왔습니다.

And our fans have become a major part of this campaign with their action and with their enthusiasm.

우리는 세상에서 가장 훌륭한 팬들을 가지고 있습니다.

We truly have the best fans in the world.

먼저 저 자신에 대해 말씀드리려고 합니다.

And I'd like to begin by talking about myself.

저는 서울 근처 일산이라는 도시에서 태어났습니다.

I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea.

그곳은 호수와 언덕이 있고 매년 꽃축제가 열리는 정말 아름다운 곳입니다.

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

그곳에서 행복한 어린 시절을 보냈고, 그저 평범한 소년이었습니다.

I spent a very happy childhood there, and I was just an ordinary boy.

저녁 하늘을 올려다보며 궁금해했고, 소년의 꿈을 꾸곤 했습니다.

I used to look up at the night sky and wonder, and I used to dream the dreams of a boy.

세계를 구할 수 있는 슈퍼히어로라고 상상했습니다.

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

초기 앨범 중 하나의 인트로에는 '마음이 멈춘 건 아마 9 세나 10 살쯤이었을 때'라는 가사가 있습니다.

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."

돌아보면, 그때야말로 타인의 시선을 의식하기 시작하고 타인의 눈으로 자신을 보기 시작한 순간이었습니다.

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.

저녁 하늘과 별을 올려다보는 것을 멈췄습니다.

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

하루를 꿈꾸는 것도 멈췄습니다.

I stopped daydreaming.

대신 남들이 만든 틀에 끼워 넣으려 애썼습니다.

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

곧 자신의 목소리를 막고 타인의 목소리에 귀 기울이기 시작했습니다.

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

누구도 제 이름을 부르지 않았고, 저도 부르지 않았습니다.

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

마음이 멈추고 눈이 감겼습니다.

My heart stopped, and my eyes closed shut.

이렇게 해서 우리 모두 이름을 잃었습니다.

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

유령처럼 되었습니다.

We became like ghosts.

하지만 하나만은 있었습니다. 그것은 음악이었습니다.

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

하지만 저에게는 하나의 감각이 있었습니다. 그것은 음악이었습니다.

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

내 마음속에 작은 목소리가 있었습니다. '일어나서, 너 자신을 들어라'라고요.

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

하지만 음악이 제 진짜 이름을 부르는 소리를 듣기까지는 오랜 시간이 걸렸습니다.

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

방탄소년단에 합류하기로 결정한 후에도 많은 장벽들이 있었죠.

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

믿지 않는 사람들도 있을 수 있지만, 대부분의 사람들은 우리를 희망 없는 존재로 생각했습니다.

And sometimes I just wanted to quit.

때로는 포기하고 싶을 때도 있었습니다.
