"Everybody say NO..."

Dear A.R.M.Y., today we have something a little more serious to talk about. And it's a delicate subject. But one that we think really has to be addressed, not only for our boys, but the long term ramifications, as well.

While we want to always be grateful for any accolades BTS is given, the process being used by MTv this year is not actually an accolade but a segregation. It's xenophobia or at its base, racism. Those are strong words to be used at any time, but it really is the basis of what MTV has done by creating a "kpop" category. And this is the only way they'll award Korean groups?

BTS stands for the exact opposite of what MTv is doing with this category. BTS and ARMY are about breaking down barriers, overcoming prejudices. South Korean President Moon Jae In said, "At the very heart of BTS' outstanding dancing and singing is sincerity. This magical power turns grief into hope and differences into similarity. Each of the seven members sings in a way that is true to himself and the life he wants to live. Their melody and lyrics transcend regional borders, language, culture, and institutions." If only MTv could understand. They are merely a tv channel, that is discriminating against an entire population, again. Whether at the behest of advertisers or corporate heads, it's not important. What is important is that hopefully, we can let them know this was never ok.

This may all sound a bit grandiose, but if you look around, we're fighting battles for equality and humanity all over the world. And one way to silence these voices is to silence BTS. ARMY, we've done it until now and we'll continue to stand with them and fight for each others' dreams.

Write to MTv. Maybe it's a short, appropriate tweet on twitter, a letter to them, or an email, let's voice this. Let them know our disagreement with what they're perpetuating. This is not okay in one country, or one awards show. Meanwhile, we're watching for other ways to speak out against acknowledging these awards in any way. A surefire bet to "help them change their minds" is voting overwhelmingly for BTS's nominations in all categories (as always). But PLEASE don't watch the actual show. Those ratings are what they actually want, so even pass it along to your friends how they could help. Let's not let this happen on our watch, Army!

Let us know if there any other good options you've seen, please. And we'll definitely pass it along.

   Jeon Jungkook is a bit of a special case, among Bangtan. While we're sure there are haters, they're not our focus today. You've already seen with the other 6 members how they've fought through outside negativity and come through brighter, on the other side. With Jungkook, we'll focus on his kindness. Because you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer guy.

    Everyone knows JK came to BTS very young and has grown up with the other members. Basically, you could say he's a reflection of all 6. And he has said it. From his song, Begin, he lets you know that what hurts him isn't people saying mean things to him, but rather, hurting his hyungs. That's a genuinely kind person. Maybe it's because they are all a part of him, though. We know he has Jin's sense of humor and fun. There's Yoongi's calmness under pressure. He's developing Namjoon's leadership abilities. He has soaked up Hobi's skill and dedication to dancing. He's become more open and vulnerable, like Jimin. And he's certainly got some quirkness all his own, ala Taehyung. What an amalgamation he's turned out to be 😁

    His kindness shows often, when they're outside. As much as he's a physical, athletic kind of guy, he's caring and gentle. From the times he's been seen helping clean up venues, to the care he takes for staff filming them, and his kindness towards fellow idols. He seems a little shy, but he'll be the first to follow support staff around and help them out. He's also just very considerate of his own members. He loves to play around with them, truthfully. But watch and you'll notice he's always careful to not hurt them. Because, let's face it, they're all smaller than he is, now! 😁

   Lastly, our Golden Maknae is skilled in many ways. Singing, dancing, smart, good-looking, athletically competent... Truly "golden" for a reason. But despite every reason not to be, he's humble. He performs all his roles more than adequately, but there's no sense he feels anything but happy to be a part of BTS. He's content to fulfill his position in the group, eager to, even. We know he was devastated when he got hurt and couldn't perform in Europe. As much for letting his brothers down as for letting ARMY down. And of course no one else thought that. It was an accident. But he got to be in the position of being comforted for a change. This time, his own vulnerability may have allowed him to see that his everyday actions are both needed and appreciated.

   All we can say is Jeon Jungkook is a brilliant piece of humanity. Whether he came that way already. Was molded by his real and bangtan families. Or has worked his butt off, on his own, to become this wonderful example of a man. He exemplifies our concept this week. Love Yourself, be kind to yourself and to all that's around you, and live well. That's all you have to do. Then we can be Golden ARMY, reflecting back on our group, as a beautiful example for the world. Keep trying and keep loving yourself. We can do it!
