RM doesn't stand for Rap monster anymore, it stands for REAL ME. RM isn't a monster, he's human and beautiful just like us.

Namjoon: *inhales* Me: *instantly starts crying*

I can't imagine that pressure RM was feeling at that time! He did the presentation basically in front of the whole world!

A little reminder this guy was part of Korea's brightest and smartest students, maybe some of you don't think or believe but BTS wouldn't reach the heights it reached if weren't for this young man, a 19 year old who saved Big Hit from bankruptcy and brought BTS to stardom, I do really believe in him and his intelligence. I love him so much, so sad that people don't support him the way he REALLY DESERVES! 7💜💜💜🇰🇷💜💜💜💜 Kim Nam-Joon and BTS deserve the entire world! 💋

The fact that he's only 24 yr old and has a Mind like this is amazing. We're only 3 yrs apart but He's qualified to be a nation president while I'm here and got confused by their mv theory .....

Namjoon be talking in front of the U.N while I can't even speak in front of my class

"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 would 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" - RM. Well said! A very good speech. I have always heard of BTS, I hear some of their songs, but this is the first time I really pay attention to them. I'm not the kind who has a favourite artist or band but these guys, have so much depth in them, so genuine and talented and I can see why they've touched so many hearts all around the world with their personalities. I must say, I may be late to the party but I'm starting to be an ARMY!

“I could imagine that I was a superhero. I could save the world” YES YOU DID

No one would guess this from : The boy who was once called 'poison mushroom' for being too naughty. The rebellious teen who decided to be a rapper even though he was one of the top student in South Korea. The son whose Mother broke his computer & mic because he didn't want to concentrate on his study. The young rapper who was told he was a sell out for being an Idol. The young man who was once told to leave BTS because haters says he was ugly. The young performer who had a sudden breakdown that he had to cancel his performance & disrupt their concert. Now he stands tall & proud. Among his brothers. Among other leaders. Maybe a little scared, still as passionate and a tiny bit wiser.

He using words I’ve never used in my life this man knows English better then I do. We purple you BTS!

Namjoon is a person who is honest! He seeks the truth in one another because when he comes out, there is nothing else he wants but to inspire thousands, if not, millions worldwide! God will bless him for what he’s done to change the world!

Today in our school's assembly, the topic was "Love Yourself" and this video was shown. Couldn't be more proud💜

Bias? Wrecked. RM? President. Speech? Beautiful. Emotions? Insane. Vote RM for president.

Find a man that looks at you the way Jin looks at RM while he's speaking

The speech is the most beautiful speech I had ever heard. Did RM wrote it himself? If he did..well done..WOW.. I am an English major so I know a beautiful speech when I see one, his words was careful, delicate yet strong to the point. And he deliver it with PERFECT intonation and emotion..even the pronunciation was PERFEC....So proud, so proud of you Namjoon RM... BTS rule !!! LOVE YOU BTS !!!

Kim Nam Joon... He is not just an idol or an artist. He is Art himself. 🙏 This speech attracted me towards him and his group, now their music has changed my life for better. I am a new strong person because of them. ❤

“No matter who you are, Where your from, Your skin color, your gender identity, Just speak yourself” NOW THAT IS A POEM

And we should never forget he learned English from FRIENDS

He don't talk too much but when he do it's feels so Right

OMG! One of the greatest speeches I've heard!! BTS group is not just a k-pop boy band, BTS without a doubt is a phenomenal group that changes our lives . The world needs more BTS.

Imagine if he hadn't changed his name yet and he would've been up there like " Hi, I'm Rapmonster."

people upset that RM was speaking about himself lmaoo yet that was the WHOLE POINT OF HIS SPEECH was to SPEAK YOURSELF, he spoke about himself and his thoughts, and then urged us to SPEAK OURSELVES so we can share our voice too, he was setting an example and encouraging the youth that we can do the same...

This. This right here, is one of the reasons RM has become my biggest role model. 🖤 I properly discovered BTS only 2 months ago, and both the group, and this freaking man, has made such a big impact on my life, my only regret is not discovering them earlier. Edit: Forgot to add that Kim Namjoon is the best therapist I've ever had holymoly. 🖤My other therapists never encourged me to love myself.

3:50 this line will always be inspirational 👏

"Whatever namjoon say just sounds right." -Jackson wang

2034. My kids : who’s ur favorite president. Me: KIM NAMJOON

Whenever I feel depressed or overthink I came here to listen to this masterpiece, It literally gives me hope... I just wanted to thank Rm and other BTS members like how they saved my life and me...They really helped me, Watching them being motivated gives me motivation..Hoping to see them one day and wanted tell them how they saved me.

That speech puts me into tears every time 🙂🤍💔

This becomes even more profound realizing that out of all the BTS members, RM has received the most backlash. He has always been sensitive for the comments discrediting his looks, his worth, his importance to the group as a whole. To see that he, and the members as a whole, have come so far not only as musicians and artists but as people who have come to peace with who they are is just truly inspiring. Namjoon, your words are inspiring and captivating, and I pray BTS will always continue to grow and receive love and support.

He sounds like a president. WHY ISNT HE OUR PRESIDENT

"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday but yesterday's me is still me. Today, I am who I am with all my faults and mistakes. Tommorrow I maybe a tiny bit wiser and that'll be me too. -kim namjoon BTS I don't know why but that hit me hard😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

People hates RM haters becz of face but look the person ..! The leader of group with least followers on Instagram is talking and everyone is watching him ,nd the most popular members of world wide are standing behind him ,remember the time will come when BTS era will stop but The RM's name will remain till centuries 👍

"No one is ugly we are just born in an judgement environment " KIM NAMJOON💜💜💜💜 Edit: WOW I can't believe so many likes. Thank u 💜

"and maybe I made a mistake yesterday. But yesterday's me is still me." I had to pause the video the just appreciate that for a second

"You inspire me" 3 little words but they mean so much to so many of us Namjoon. I hope you know that :)

" no matter who you are , where you come from , your skin colour,your gender identity ,just love yourself 💜

RM : " what excites you and makes your heart beat ? " Me : " you , it's you " 😢

imagine being that well spoken, and english isn't your first language

So proud of Kim Nam Joon, his name, his ethnicity, his boys, their music uniting love and friendship globally.

Your speech hits directly to my heart.. I was worried that wht people think of me but after listening to this speech I came to love myself . I remembered that let your inner voice should not be be trapped by moulds of other people . This life is too short, live it for yourself and not for others . I will improve myself everyday to my best. I am Harshil Gandhi an ordinary boy from a Mumbai City in India

I accidentally added this to my sad songs playlist and I decided to keep there

his smile After he says "we truly have the best fans in the world" omg he really loves us... im crying

This speech is a big thing for me to survive in difficult situations, my Kim Namjoon🥺💜💜

Not only for young people, we ARMY are all ages! 💜

*when Rm speaks better than the president of America*

What a nice speech. People don’t talk about youth mental health and lifestyle enough. People don’t let people do what they want in high school, it’s either fit in the mold or get bullied for your interests.

This is the 6th time am listening to this speech... For those who are not armies I encourage you try this band use them to love yourself.. "I came to love myself for I am, for who I was and for who I hope to be" Kim namjoon

I like namjoon , RM speech and also RM and total BTS group , rm's speech was excellent , I'm loved it.

*“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.”* -Kim Namjoon, 2018

We had to watch this in my History class, and they had a girl crying :( the teacher asked her why, and she said "I don't know who this man is, but his words reached my heart, and I feel like it's beating just a little stronger than before"

RM is my favorite leader in the world because now a days "I'm losing my hope and suddenly I got a depression, that's why my all dreams becomes hopeless but when I'm listening this speech 'I have a confidence to make my all dreams comes true and successful, 🏆💪 thank you My role model 🙇‍♀️ we are love you❤

Namjoon always speaks from the heart & always has something inspirational to say. It’s easy to make up something & make it out to help others or aspire others but to mean it is hard yet he always manages to do that. He was so nervous for this but hit this out of the park.

When a KPop artist is more eloquent than the President of our country. Well done Kim Namjoon and all of BTS. Even as a 40yo this is inspirational.

i know who my election is going to be for President. RM

He is the best man !!! Never have I ever heard such a powerful speech with so much convection. RM has no idea he is inspiring so many people with just his words. You are amazing NAMJOON !!!

That proud smile on jhope's face when namjoon concluded the speech is the reaction on each and every army after watching this video -)

Who else heard 'King' Namjoon instead of 'Kim' Namjoon?

And people say BTS doesn’t need RM! What are they kidding themselves with? What would BTS be without RM?

Imagine just sitting waiting for a speech and ur favorite kpop group comes to give a speech

I was preparing a presentation for a conference so I decided to listen to his speech.. But now I was told I won't be able to go or attend.. I keep fighting! Even though they doubt me, my time will come! In the mean time I continue to search for meaning and speak myself ❤️💜

I'm going to make that my new favorite quote. "I have come to love myself for who I am, for who I was, and for who I hope to become." -Kim Namjoon

“I just tried to jam myself myself into the molds that other people made.” felt that 🤪

No matter how many time I listen this speech it always give me goosebumps 🙌

I was a drug addict and lost everything in my life. I was randomly introduced to BTS at the start of Love Yourself series and the messages from your albums have helped me push through to get my life back on track. Maybe it's coincidence, maybe there was a reason, but for the first time in my life, I understand what it means to love myself. I have my family back, high on life, and a big part of it is because of BTS. Thank you.

Guy speaks with more eloquence than Trump.

You are a super hero who saved the world, joonie!

Whenever I'm having a bad day, or a bad week, or even a bad month, I come here and listen to this speech. It gives me a reminder of such an important but much too often forgotten message to "Speak Yourself." 사랑해 방탄. 사랑해, 아미. 💜

I don’t even listen to BTS but I can agree that their efforts to change the world for better are amazing and more artists should attempt to make the same efforts as this.

I don't care where you are from, the color of your skin, your sexual orientation, rich or poor, you can relate to Namjoon's speech. He is talking of dreams, equality, making the right choices, being a decent human being and giving everyone a place to have a voice. So proud of Namjoon and BTS but even if you aren't a fan, you can still respect him for his conviction. I am proud of them for ushering hope and change.

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. 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. "I’m Kim Nam Jun, RM of BTS. "I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town in Korea. "Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life. "I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little. "What is your name? Speak Yourself!"

So proud of RM...Kim Namjoon. A very smart, kind and humble leader of BTS. An extraordinary young man...who always stands for his voice.

English is not his first language but he gave a better speech than most Americans I know! Deep, inspiring, and motivational - go RM!

Those 6 minutes and 58 seconds must’ve felt like an eternity for RM.

I sent this link to my 11 year old daughter to hear. You have to understand that for a 24 year old to deliver this message before the UN is incredible. But he believed in his message, and that's the energy he took before the leaders of the world.

The best speech from a best leader with a huge army still humble. LOVED IT💜💜

He can learn English from watching friends, but me over here can't learn korean after watching 9283747 kdramas and listening to 82736446 kpop songs...

For those who are doubtful about RM 's capabilities as a writer well he is considered a lyrical genius in Seoul. He haa an IQ of 148, considered a literal genius. He is one of the top 1.3% students in South Korea, having scored a whooping 900 at the Korean preparatory for University(country known to have one of the highest standard in education system) . RM's interests include philosophy and enjoys writing prose and poetry.

Every time I’m feeling down, every time I cry because I can’t with the problems in my life… I return here. To me safe place. Because this speech gives me the courage I need to embrace myself and continue. Every single time. So thank you so much Kim Namjoon, and thank you bts. For never giving up upon the dark moments… Your words really shine my path in my darkest moments.

I think,this is one of the speech which I listened from my heart

24 YEARS OLD, WHAT AN HONOR, AND RESPECT. HE'S RIGHT, AND THIS COUNTRY SHOULD LEARN FROM THAT 24 YEARS OLD YOUNG MEN. BRAVO. WELL SAID. THIS KIDS PARENTS SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF EACH OF THEM. MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND ALWAYS KEEPING FAITH, AND ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, TO THE YOUNG ONE'S OUT THERE. MILAGROS MOGRO FROM FL.

I don’t follow BTS.. heard them a few times and what not. This video randomly (I suspect not) appeared on my feed and at first I thought “this might be ridiculous..” well, I just finished the video and was impressed. I didn’t realize how much they mean to this younger generation. My hats off to them. Voting for BTS for world president!

RM our guardian Angel 👼, he spoke from the heart, we love our seven Angels 👼 for all the great things they have done. We are so blessed that BTS did not dismantle the group, god bless them and keep them safe.

RM is an amazing leader...his passion for art is so admirable...love his speech every word he speaks giving vibes to the younger generation being positive about life ❤he is so intelligent every word he speaks so meaningful love his UN speech he has versatile personality...positive thinking truthfulness great personality his guidance... love his aesthetic and energetic personality ❤💖♥💜💕💙

"And maybe I made a mistake yesterday. 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'd be me too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest constellations of my life. I have come to love myself for who I am, for who I was, and who I hope to become". *-Kim Nam Joon​ 2018*

J Hope looked like he was going to cry in the back round.

Okay, this might sound really dramatic but Namjoon truly inspires me a lot through his words and music. Because of them, I discovered who I am and know my goals and dreams. I have changed because of them and I am doing it for myself, not for anyone else. I found myself because of them. Well, before I know them, I was the type of person who doesn't have a dream and worry a lot about what others think of me. I was only like 14, I thought what others said was who I am and won't forgive myself for every mistake I did. I had 'B's in my grades, which I got blamed for every day, and those ppl made me felt like a worse person ever. Now, I'm 17 I have discovered myself, my goal is to be a successful architect. I got a full 4.0 gpa in high school and now applying to a university. I have accepted who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become. I am also confident af, what others think of me doesn't affect me anymore. Thank you, BTS for inspiring me and making my life better. You guys are the best things tht happen in my life. okay now go stream butter lol

Very well crafted and delivered speech, inspirational, poetic. I hope many people heard it, from a young boy at that. RM and BTS, continue to inspire and lead people with your very honest personalities, with all your strengths and weaknesses, with your pretty disposition that makes your faces and personalities even prettier. As a senior person, I truly admire your stance and I am grateful that you came about. More power to you! God bless you and all your endeavors.❤

I'm a 44 year old brazilian female teacher. In october 2013, i got to know BTS and they inspired me! Since them, i've been a dedicated fan and never regreted. I just get more and more proud of the young men and artists they are coming to be. I'm so grateful and I wish all my teenage students saw those sweet talented men as role models.

Now we need Skit: United Nations Speech. We need this on the next album. We need to have this empowering speech on repeat.

This speech by RM is just so beautiful 😭💜

" May be I made a mistake yesterday. Yesterday's me is still me ....." This one line literally gone through my heart, mind and soul. This speech was so real and encouraging that I can't express in words. Huge respect to BTS and Army .. Army makes the world's best fandom of one of the best humans in the world .. 💜💜

Can we switch Donald Trump for RM?

When he said,” I IMAGINED I was a super hero who can save the world” I said but you are our superhero and bro this got me crying 😭

My English Teacher told us to find a your favorite speech then the first that pop up on my mind is Kim Namjoon's speech😚❤

1:29 you did save millions of people around the world. You are a superhero. Proud to be a part of this unique family of ARMY and BTS.

*RM has officially wrecked my bias.* In all seriousness, I've never been one to suddenly change my perspective or feel differently about myself because an artist or group that I like made a heartfelt speech or said to in lyrics. I've been an army since FIRE came out and I just feel so moved by this. Their efforts to reach out to all of us out here struggling really resonates within me. It's not just a common theme in their songs; they made a whole album, collaboration with UNICEF, and use their platform whenever they can (by the way, for those who don't know, RM stands for Real Me). I was watching the light slowly fade from around me but I think I might just chase it. I think I might just try hearing my voice again. Thank you, BTS. Thanks everyone for reading this far.

Imagine a 24 year old boy making a speech of 99.9% 50 year old men in the entire universe... What a blessed man he is. His parents must be so proud of him. I am too

This is the speech that changed me forever, and these are the 7 people who taught me to love and accept myself. They made me a better person and are the reason I followed my dreams instead of wasting my whole life trying to make my parents proud.. They made me feel loved when even my family didn’t do that for me. Bts means so much more to the fandom than other people see. They’re our reason to smile and source of comfort most the time. I’m so so so grateful to them, to bts.. thank you for everything. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for being the reason I’m happy right now.

Namjoon was and still is like the dad/guardian I never had. Although I'm not as crazy about BTS as I was when I was 10, I have so much gratitude and love towards them that nobody (not even myself) can take away. These men have saved not only my life, but so many others. And if you're going through a rough patch right now, I urge you to listen to Namjoon. Even in such desperation, try step by step to love and speak yourself more and more. You deserve it. If nobody has told you today, you are valid, loved, cared for, and your life is so valuable. I love you.

Try just making a speech in class 6 mins long with proper grammar while including sophisticated words. SHEEEEIIITT i would have been sweating and talking so fast out of nervousness while stuttering. THIS IS A MAN TALKING IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD, NOT EVEN IN HIS FIRST LANGUAGE
