Talking about the Love Myself campaign BTS said, "We started LOVE MYSELF as a way to reach young people and help improve their lives and rights, but during the process, we also strove to “LOVE MYSELF” ourselves, and we as a team and as individuals grew as well. We hope that many people felt how the love received from others can become the power that allows them to love themselves."
