"it's not wrong to be different. equality begins when we open up and embrace all of our differences." - SUGA

I watched this live - and all the “gam-sa-ham-ni-da”’s coming from the audience at the end had me teary-eyed! Truly BTS is changing the world… US journalists would never have made the effort to learn even this simple Korean phrase before… Someone even called out “hwaiting, BTS!” 💜🥰

"Thank you for staying by our side despite the language barrier and the distance"— KIM NAMJOON ❤

“We still feel surprised that music created by South Korean artists reaches so many people around the world, transcending languages and cultural barriers. We believe music is always an amazing and wonderful unifier of all things.” -Jungkook

I've been an Army since late 2014 I never thought I'd see this moment happen. I'm beyond happy and proud I can't describe it. So filled with love for them. I hope we can keep seeing them like this, spreading awareness, positivity and love.

The "BTS fighting!" in the end got me teary. 💜

i can't believe 9 months ago me and my family were standing in front of the white house for bts's speech. (yes we do live in dc) and after we went to a museum and it was one of the best days we can recall happening

I'm a "boomer" and I adore BTS, their music, their kindness, sensitivity, and generosity of self. They are true global humanitarians. 💜

I am impressed by how humble RM is. He apologized so politely for not taking questions.
It is rare to see such humility, especially from someone so successful. I am so proud of them. They have grown up so well.

"No matter who you are, where you're from, your skin colour, your gender identity, love yourself "

[checkmateyourhighness]

As an Asian literally feeling happy on this moment and seeing people working on this situation is really nice, hope for the best future

[jennykerlin]

So impressed by Jungkook speaking confidently and fluently without notes. Well done guys, so proud of you all.

[pang-ngiavang]

This is probably the only press conference that you will have young people waiting and watching a White House Press Briefing. LOL So proud of BTS and thank you for speaking on such important issue!

[jeckyllandheyed]

I'm kind of tearing up.. Okay I'm actually crying now. These men have been given some of the Highest platforms to spread their message. I know it's BigHit branding perfection, but I genuinely believe they understand the importance of their message that they started with the Love Yourself series. They've worked with UNICEF, spoke at the United Nations, and I cannot even imagine the pressure being one of South Korea's largest (non-conglomerate) exports AND the single largest boon to tourism is like for this group! They're estimated to add over $1B (USD) to S.Korea's economy annually. If you think there isn't pressure from the government? You're wrong. So proud of these boys (still, to me.. I watched the group go to Jungkook's High School graduation.. boys) for being absolute champions for their cause.

[AjayKumar-rpwo]

So proud of BTS and for such a worthy cause

[Mori-Chan]

I just love how Joon speaks with confidence and authority -- he owns that leader vibe.

[sclipariciful]

So humble and still so powerfull! They are carrying a message of hope and unity! They made themselves heard through they own effort! Borahae Army and BTS💜💜💜

[aname]

I'm so immensely proud of our 7 amazing men. BTS have changed the world not only through their music, but through their ability to speak directly and from the heart.

[Elizabeth_Pozo]

I love them so much!! I'm a proud fan
