What BTS is doing is not actually something new, considering they are UNICEF ambassadors to fight bullying and various acts of violence that occur among teenagers.

In fact, in the United Nations General Assembly in 2018, BTS, represented by Kim Namjoon alias RM, who is the leader of the boy group consisting of seven members, expressed an iconic call.

"No matter who you are, where you come from, what color your skin is, or what your gender identity is: speak up!" said BTS.

For those of you who don't know, #BlackLivesMatter is a movement to end systemic racial injustice that occurs in the United States.

This action occurred after a black American citizen named George Floyd died, as a result of his neck being held down by a police officer's knee until he couldn't breathe in Minnesota.
