I feel truly proud to be an ARMY.

Hearing the news that the 'Idol' music video has reached 1.4 billion views makes me feel unexpectedly emotional. While the record of being their fifth group to reach 1.4 billion views shines, I find myself thinking about how much comfort and courage the song's message—"No matter what others say, I will love myself"—must have given to countless people. I feel a special attachment to this song because it feels like a declaration delivered in the most BTS-like way, standing against the world's gaze and prejudices. As an ARMY, I feel a genuine sense of pride seeing this number reach 1.4 billion, as it feels like the positive energy BTS has spread across the world has finally borne fruit. Let's all love ourselves to our hearts' content today!
