not all those who wander are lost

President of South Korea Moon Jaein’s Congratulatory Letter to BTS & ARMY

“I send my congratulations to seven boys who love music and the wings of the boys, ‘ARMY’“

Young people around the globe take courage and consolation from BTS’ songs, dances, dreams and passion/ Congratulations to ‘LOVE YOURSELF 轉 Tear’ for achieving No.1 spot on US ‘Billboard 200′. This is a first time ever for Korean artists and first time in 12 years for a non-English album.

In BTS’ outstanding dances and songs, there’s sincerity. There’s a magical power that turns sorrow into hope, difference into similarity. All seven members bring their individualities into their songs, transcending regions, languages, cultures and systems.

Thanks to BTS, Korean pop music has taken another leap to the global scene. These young men made it possible for the youth around the world to share lives, loves, dreams and sorrow through the language of music called K-POP.

I support BTS’ dreams of achieving No.1 on Billboard Hot 100, winning a Grammy award, going on a stadium tour and becoming the most influential singer in the world. I support BTS fanclub ‘ARMY’ who together with BTS are voicing themselves to the world.
