BTS and UNICEF's joint anti-bullying campaign Love Myself raised a whopping $3.6 million.
In addition to the $3.6 million raised, the campaign has also generated significant interest online, with almost five million tweets mentioning the initiative, as well as over 50 million engagements.
The campaign also involved an exclusive music video released by BTS in July 2019, and dedicated booths at convert venues with information on how individuals can prevent, and protect themselves from, bullying. In September 2018, the band addressed the United Nations and did once more two weeks ago at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly, where the band confirmed that they had received their Covid-19 vaccinations, a statement which received praise from the UN.
BTS and their record label, BIGHIT Music, have renewed their commitment to the campaign early this year, and have pledged over $1 million to UNICEF, in addition to a portion of album sales and the proceeds from the sale of ‘Love Myself’ merchandise. “We hope that the LOVE MYSELF message can continue to serve to invigorate everyone’s lives,” BTS said. “We will be honored if all seven of us can continue this campaign to return the amazing love that we have received, and give people the strength to come closer to LOVE MYSELF. We hope to keep doing what we are doing and voice what we are voicing, so we can help people find happiness and love.”
