Keep your hearts and minds open to these seven human beings who have displayed authenticity since they debuted in 2013. They’re not just music artists, but genuinely connected and caring people who know the expanse of their reach and use their platform responsibly for good. They do this with grace and humility even when the public expectation is sometimes ridiculously high… ARMY supports them, and they fully support us in ways you might discover if you take a moment to look.
We are proud of you BTS 💜👏👏
