BTS joined an esteemed lineup of A-list figures, including former U.S. President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, global music icon Beyoncé, and many others, to deliver an inspiring and heartfelt commencement speech for the Class of 2020 during YouTube’s Dear Class of 2020 graduation special. In their speech, the members of BTS shared personal anecdotes, words of encouragement, and messages of resilience, recognizing the challenges the graduating class faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They emphasized the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and the pursuit of dreams despite uncertain times. Their heartfelt words resonated with millions of students worldwide, offering hope and motivation to a generation stepping into an unpredictable future.

“Hello, this is Jung Kook of BTS. Congrats everyone. Unlike RM, my graduation is recorded online via YouTube on BANGTAN BOMB. My fellow BTS members were there throughout all my high school years. I remember them saying, “When did you grow old enough to graduate?” And once the ceremony was over, we went and had Jajangmyeon together.” Jung Kook

“I recently watched that video again, and it made me wonder. Did that child really grow to become me? RM mentioned that he still sees himself in the boy in the graduation picture, but I feel like I’ve come a very long way. All I’ve done is continue on, but even today, I continue to learn new things. So here I stand today with my members, with faith in myself, my members, and the world. And I hope you also will do the same for yourself and move forward.” Jung Kook
