BTS' 'Map of the Soul: Persona' Album Certified Gold by RIAA

BTS' April release "Map of the Soul: Persona" was recognized gold by the RIAA, with over .5 million units certified in the U.S.

Park Jimin describes himself as, " cutie, sexy, lovely". He says this with all the confidence of a man that knows and loves who he has become. But, this self confidence is the result of a hard fought battle within himself.

We will speak of Jimin today, as to how he's grown from someone, who was battered by the pressures of an idol, to a stronger member of BTS. His personal struggle speaks directly to our message all week.

Loving himself became vital for our Chimmy to learn. The ways he's blossomed since he has taken this path are powerful to see.

Most people that have seen Bangtan's debut, are aware that Jimin took center stage. But not everyone knows that he took on the challenge of showing his abs. All seven menbers were requested to do so, but couldn't get it together. This was a hard thing for a very private young man to do. He was embarrassed to be showing his stomach. But, he diligently took on the task of bringing attention to BTS, right away. Anyone that has watched their debut video, can see the results of his dedication and very hard work. Since he'd been a trainee less than a year, and was questionable to debut right to the end, the pressure to achieve this task, was tough on him.

Fast forward a year or so, and Jimin still has an amazing build, but the baby fat has yet to fade from the youngster's face. This bothers him because there are comments of him being "fat". Also, since he was the shortest, his height begins to become a constant joke among the members. This translates, naturally, to fandom too. But, what is cute teasing from friends and fans, becomes fodder for those interested in making him feel bad. And use it, they do. To the point that he feels so badly about his appearance, he begins a drastic diet, that he stayed on for a year. As in all else, he's very diligent in this as well, to the point of making himself sick. The members take notice and become concerned that his self- esteem is not recovering from the attack from the nonsensical haters.

Luckily, there were, and are, six brothers with him, to repeatedly let him know that he is, in fact, enough. Weird enough to see, in the industry they're in. But, he still needed to be able to love himself. Thankfully, the catharsis came to him. He hasn't revealed that particular process, but he did tell us that army helped him realize how he really is loved by us all.

The transformation has been simply breathtaking. Jimin's stage presence is powerful. His dancing is still brilliant, as always. We can see the happiness in his eyes, and the love shining out from him, back to ARMY and his Bangtan family.

Whatever he's done, we support it. And honestly wouldn't mind learning the secret *wink, wink*.

Jimin you beyond nice! Keep going!!

We applaud BTS for their ongoing partnership with UNICEF to help children and young adults of our world.

   Team Karamel is still new and building our basics, but there's a vastly important topic we couldn't let lie for long. So we'd like to start talking about being kind. Thankfully, BTS leads the way for us in these things and they launched their renewed campaign with UNICEF last week. The campaign is against bullying but at it's core, this is about spreading kindness to yourself and everyone else. Because that's all it really takes, being kind. And Loving Yourself.

   We'll focus on kindness this week by talking about each member and how they exemplify kindness, in our eyes. Also how they've faced the opposite and what they've done to overcome it. We ask that you remember how well BTS handles hate directed their way and try to emulate it. When you encounter negativity, lets fight it with positivity. Hate messages to any member individually, or to them as a whole, don't engage. Instead of spreading the madness, maybe try to counter with things you love about the member or group. And, of course, report everything appropriately! There's Bighit if it's a serious threat they need to be aware of. Use your discretion so that they're able to get to important issues. Report problems on each platform appropriately. If it's hate messages, report as such, so our reports are noticed as helpful. Lastly, IF companies that BTS are dealing with behave inappropriately, we want to be as polite and professional as the boys would be. Express your displeasure through appropriate channels, and in proper ways. Doesn't mean we can't organize other means of expression, as a fandom, but let's be known as a reflection of our idols, ARMY! We can do it!
