I feel like he's saying this because he knows what it feels like to be ignored. All of them know that feeling, but Namjoon and Yoongi especially. They were ignored, mistreated, scammed and rejected by the underground hip-hop community- a community they were passionate about. And it's not like the K-pop community had a warm welcome in store, either. Bang Si hyuk, also being an artist, was critisised for letting BTS debut. So they all know the burden and pain of being ignored, well. This speech was not only directed towards idols and idol groups, but also musicians/artists in general. I think it was very outspoken of him to address this issue in today's music/art industry. Edit: A leader should always use their platform to spread awareness and word about injustice in society.

NAMJOON FOR PRESIDENT

RM is so respectable ... he is such a fluent speaker but is able to portray the emotions needed to deliver this speech with confidence instead of just saying recycled words god his intelligence is so sexy

what I also love about BTS is that they always wish the best for all the artists. namjoon even talked about other artists still working hard in shadow, unseen,ignored and nj said that he hopes their hardworks will pay off. They are so humble. Also they wish that rookies won't experience what bts went through in the past years. Its bc bts and armys have already suffered a lot of hardships and difficulties and we know how it feels. I really do hope cheating,saboting, maipulating,etc. won't continue. I hope 2020 will be a better year!

*RM beautiful speech never fail to make me cry :( how can this man so humble my god he literally call out other artists idols name and even ask for chance to the groups or idols who work hard but can't show their talents he feel them bcus BTS used to be like them. I'm so proud and happy to be an Army and stan them :)*

why does rm always have the best speeches. dude is a genius

I'm surprised not to see more heads nodding listening to THAT inspiring speech

Its rare seeing artist winning speech being so well talk like Namjoon did. Most of them would only say "thank you we'll work hard " etc. Everything BTS do or say are always different and thats why they deserve everything. #Armyforever Also I saw some comments about the artists not paying respect to BTS ..kind of agree with that because most of them are friends too..so the more they could do is at least paying attention to their senior (exept nuest) but mostly as FRIENDS . Even though they are all tired but not a reason to be ignorant . BTS always clap for other artist and pay attention to their performance and speech so...

RM'S speech is so humble that I can watch it over and over and never get tired of his incredible speech.

joon : (( the way he wishes that all the bad things happened to them will not happen to other artists i am so proud on how he addressed it a true leader indeed

This man never runs out of ways to make me love him even more :(( Truly, they are where they are right now because of their sincerity, fairness, and hard work 💜

Goddamnnnnn, RM just dedicated their win to all the amazing unheard artists out there....humble LEGENDS!

I remember that interview with wonho I'm not a fan of their group but I appreciate how he actually took Rm's speech into heart. I wish the new idol generation will actually learn to value music, and that they're actually in for the music not just because the company wants them to earn $$$. Remember BTS always emphasizes that music is their passion. You can feel the sincerity and love for their craft hence Army's are growing and will always there to support them. It's not all about visuals, or who can dance well, these groups can do that. BTS however can truly inspire and connect with people in so many levels.

"N" for NAMJOON THE PRESIDENT.

One of the 1000000 reasons why i love them so much. THEY ARE SO FCKING HUMBLE.

I like that they always speak on the artist behalf , it’s heartwarming. Twice always seems so supportive and Itzy too

its 2022 and Namjoon's speech is still the best..like the way he chooses his words...its honestly beautiful!

No wonder they call bts as leader of kpop group , its not cuz they famous but because of this .

That speech deserves a standing ovation

we can all say namjoons speech really touched everyone's hearts, yuqi crying, twice being proud , miyeon smiling through out the whole speech, namjoon you are the most respectful idol i ever known, you are the best leader i know, you are most biggest sunshine i know, namjoon this is the reason why you are my bias, remember that armys will always remember the name "BTS" no matter what happens you will always hold a special place in our hearts, as what jihyo said "because bts PAVED the way, we had the chance to be recognized", thank you for appreciating unknown/unrecognized artist thank you bts for not giving up you started from the bottom to here the most successful boy group, we love you. ARMYS ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE!!

i might be a little late but since i saw several comments regarding other idols' 'plain' reaction, i want to give an answer about this. bts is a very very very huge group and they had the chance to say what they want to say and that's an advantage. rm's speech is completely amazing here. the reason why most idols didn't give any reaction is because this is quite a sensitive issue to talk about publicly esspecially when ure not a huge artist. MANY had tried to say it out loud but since they're small, didn't have the recognization, they ended up getting sued and stuff. this is why other idols didn't give him a damn reaction because they didn't want to cause a chaos and issue. tbh i bet everyone wanted to stand up and give them standing ovation but they couldn't. as you can see, gidle was paying so much attention. they clapped for him quietly. this is because gidle themselves are facing some difficulties. if you pay attention to every groups, you can see that they're lowkey looking at each other. they talked with each other abt his speech. pls dont say something bad about their reaction. its not like they're ignorant or selfish or rude. but the topic joon was talking about is sensitive and im proud of him for being able to point this out. + jin talked about sajaegi on mama 2019 as well.

the amount of times i watched this just to hear namjoon’s powerful words over and over again 🤧

I just realized... these are the same artists except rookies like G-Idle who had more screentime than BTS on award shows way back BTS wasn't that big, but look how the tables have turned now. BTS is bigger than them now. The only difference is that BTS cheered and showed respect for those artists while the artists (some... most, actually) now sitting on their seats seem bored and uninterested.

Coming back here to say that BTS's whole career is such a beautiful story.. They were ignored, disrespected, called names, and below everyone.. and now they're bagging awards left and right, are grammy nominated, worldwide suoerstars, and have still kept their genuine respect towards everyone except those who did them wrong. It's amazing. I hope they keep winning and get every record possible before the end. They will be history and armys will make sure they are not forgotten.

That my friends thath is our beautiful leader, president KIM NAMJOOOOOOOON

I suddenly miss wanna one. Wanna one and Twice, they are the only groups I adored even when it comes to reaction in bts speeches. Genuine.

God...Namjoon's speech is always another level:)

I feel like they got ignored by all the idols throughout the show (except twice) during there performance half of them didn’t even clap at the end. You can’t say they were tired cuz if u had enough energy to walk back to your seat then you can have enough to clap for them. I just find whoever seemed like they were ignoring them rude. They are giving amazing and inspirational speeches but it’s like they get completely ignored but idk it’s just my point of view.

please, HE'S SOOO COOL, like I don't get why fandoms gotta attack bts when THEY ARE LITERALLY ROOTING FOR Y'ALL, they aren't selfish nd are willing to share the spotlight at any given time

You can never make the "they're tired" excuse for some of these artists because basically clapping won't lose you too much energy and it doesn't seem like their hands are 3kg each that would make this excuse valid. There is also one group that i kept on noticing on every reaction videos that are always "meh" whenever bts are on stage (either performing or accepting an award).

thats a speeech bts are also my role model i n real life

Y'know one of the reasons why I always get excited of them winning awards is to listen to RM motivational speech.

RM low key being fan of NU'EST and supporting and encouraging them to go for it...

I'm very Thankful for armys who supported them since the start. I became an army in 2017, And I'm very Thankful that I joined This wonderful FAMILY. Co-army's let's keep supporting Our boys no matter what! And for the 7 Girls who will be their future wife pls treat them the best cause we, armys treat them perfect😊💜 BORAHAE💜 WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT THEM NO MATTER WHAT!💜💜💜

and now namjoon collaborationg with indie artist, proud of him

Give this wonderful man a leader award. 💜

All of Namjoona s speeches r incredible n sooo filled with warmth n love

I think there are 100℅ Audience but among them 90-96℅ is Army😂😂

When RM speaks there is this energy that only some have or should I say vibes.

The way when they got where they are, they take the oppurtunity to help other ppl who are suffering the same way they once did and to tlk out about the ill treatments of the industry.

this is what we called a true leader , he didn't just talk about BTS , army and bighit but he even mentioned other artists . this is what happened when you started from bottom , you know how it's feel to be mistreated , getting ignored , didn't get enough attention like other artists . namjoon or bts know exactly how it's feels , that's why many time i saw rn after BTS win daesang awards they always mentioned other artists not to feel down but they even congratulate them and even said hope their music reach to everyone . *NAMJOON FOR PRESIDENT.*

Aww the chants for BTS when they walking to get their award

Speaking up against Sajaegi. RM is the BEST LEADER ON EARTH!!!💜💜💜💜

Thank you for the captions

They speak when they have to, they raise their voice, they stand up for what is right, just one of those million things I love about them!!!!! You nice keep Going Tannies!!! 💪💜😌

*NAMJOON SAID “I don’t know when I’ll be able to say this again and shout loudly, ARMY….. and few months later covid hit, so that was their last time on stage shouting at an inperson crowd* 🥺🤭

i dont think it's that hard to clap at the end of a speech but i thought about it and you never know what idols are going through with all the shit they have to deal with and they have to sit through these longggg ass award shows so lets not judge

Now, that is a great speech.

Proud of my bias. The president🇰🇷🇮🇹💜

Bts is best and don't care about other idols if they react or not we love bts that's important 💜

Me lying on my bed in september 2020 watching this happy that they achieved billboard no 1 but wishing the world was as namjoon described

I'm done with idols seriously... BTS, you guys did well, that speech was a brave one and I applaud you for that. I'm proud of you.

I wanna be able to speak like rm one day. I respect him alot, love u namjoon

0:31 Momo be like oh fck im the only one standing

I alyz love to hear him. Such a good speaker indeed d bst leader💜😘💪

mingyu being a proud friend at 0:03

Seventeen always react to BTS like they are angry at them.. Never clap like other artist do...

Our lovely boys are the best 😍

Wow🥹😲what a speech 👏 namjoonie for president 🥰😘

RM NEEDS TO GO FOR ELECTIONS Like what does the man lack?😭 Has a high iq of 148 Makes the best decisions Can speak very well A good motivator He's got everything.

I wish that when RM finished the sentence 2020 to become a slightly better year and add, "Not just for us, but for everyone"

If exo , wanna one, Mamamoo and red velvet were there..They would have respected Bts and be happy for them 😓

is it just me or did anyone else realize how the other idols didn't clap when bts were announced as the winners? (just curious don't hate) Like they were just sat there and didn't clap... and they only stood up after bts stood up (no hate just curious)

I love our reader RM!!!!!!

he's so thoughtful i cri

KIM PRESIDENT NAMJOON 💜

When rm shout Army some of seventeen look at the army's screaming

If Namjoon stands for president no one can stop him

IM just agree with his speech... i luv both monsta x n bts

2:57 you can see jinjin's reaction and he smiled

these idols couldn't even clap after that unprecedented and brave speech? dont come for me under the comments bc it literally takes no effort to clap regardless of how tired they are, bts have been standing and clapping for other idols for years and they can't even get the same respect back. pathetic.

RM President Of Kpop Idols Leader

No offence to anyone, but I feel like some artists are kinda irritated? I'm not sure what, but it's kinda an ignorant feeling. Like, they took long to get up and immediately sat down when BTS weren't even off the seating area. (Not all of them). I'm not trying to create fan wars, this is what I observed and feel.

BTS with a HEART...... #respect... RM for politician!!!! #equality

I love bts so much 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

how they mention other artist and wishing they best luck.. i know i am not wrong to be in this FAMS!

NAMJOON FOR PRESIDENT!

I am so worried for their military 😥 .What will happen to BTS. We will miss them so much 😭💔

*me everytime namjoon speaks...* NAMJOON FOR PRESIDENT!!!

RM☺️ Proud of you✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨

ok but astro and gidle are so kind they were nodding and smiling and were clapping they’re hands *stan astro and gidle* and *twice and bts* :)

I don't know when i will get to say this again -Rm bcz at that they were going to enlist in military but pandemic came n they stayed for the ppl they love.... "Army they gave there youth to us, let's give our life to them" . Lets do music till lifetime

THANK GOD YOONGI DIDNT SPEAK, OTHERWISE HE WOULD LITERALLY ROASTED ABOUT THE ISSUE AND PERSO BEHIND IT WITHOUT FILTER. SAVAGE BOSS IS SILENT 😂😂BUT IF HE SPEAKS HE SPEAKS 🔥🔥🔥

2:04 Oh mais 😂😂❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷

KIM NAMJOON EL MEJOR LIDER 👤👌🏻❤

Soyeon was so attentive, as a true leader should be! Kudos!

bts is a really Pattern

IF NAMJOON WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT MY VOTE WILL DEFINITELY BE FOR HIM

Bold of 2020 to turn out this way when THE President himself made it very clear that he wishes the new decade to be better and filled with good days 😶. Someone create a petition 2020 Cancelled.

Idk why but I feel like these artists were just forced to stand and clapped for bts. I can't feel their sincerity, sadly 😢 especially that one group that don't really show interest and just like "whatever" whenever bts wins and performs. It's just sad tho, I don't know if it's their company or their jealousy

Namjoon for president

BTS NEW SINGLE AUGUST 21💜💜💜

0:18 I'm still trying to figure out if Jimin is trying to bow or flick his hair in front of twice😂😂 maybe both idk😂

Is it only me or you also think like a slightly doubt that other artists really didnt paying attention on the speech or really looking frustrated from there face myebe thye are very tired seeing bts win every major award and thye all slightly looking jealous i don't know myebe i am wrong but we can totally see the artist are not happy Anyway BTS deserve all the award because thye work hard for it and there sincerity we can see that 💜♾️

Honestly who gives a rat’s ass if these other groups react to BTS speeches or not. If they aren’t taking the time to listen and learn for whatever reason, that’s on them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Kim namjoon best leader ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel like many people now are too emphasizing stuffs like “hey why they don’t show some respect” or “why they don’t pay attention to bts’s speech”. I don’t know why but keep saying like that couldn’t make things become better, why we can just ignore that and pay attention to what is needed to pay? Everyone just deserves to be happy guys, spread some kindness instead 😽

If mamamoo was there 😶

i hope one day BTS make a music how dark this kpop industry actually is , what we just see are idols singing and dancing happily on the stage but we didn't see ( ig kpop fans already know it ) what kpop idols , trainee and the companies going through . the trainees that didn't hv any companies yet , the trainees that waiting for years to debut , the trainees that were forced to follow kpop beauty standard and strict diet , the idols that already debut but didn't famous or didn't make it and the idols that famous too . all people that involves in kpop you guys are the most strongest person itw ngl i really hope one day bts use their platform to talk about this . if they did it , istg it's the best thing that ever happened in kpop and the most iconic moment for kpop industry ( pretty sure there's companies that didn't like this bc all the lies and the bad thing that they did are now not really *secret* 😂 )

Jimin is quite literally dying throughout the speech cuz he just wants to rest :(
