South Korean boy band BTS


BTS also performed their hits “Boy wit Luv,” “Spring Day,” and “Mikrokosmos” during YouTube's virtual commencement exercises.

South Korean boy group BTS is making a lot of graduates (and fans) happy as they capped off YouTube's “Dear Class of 2020” by taking over the National Museum of South Korea as they performed their hits like “Boy Wit Luv,” “Spring Day,” and Mikrokosmos.”

They also took the time to share each of their personal messages for fans who are celebrating and watching the show.

Leader RM began the speech by saying describing how the commencement would have to be “the most special graduation ceremony in history.”

Adding, “Never before have so many gathered to celebrate a graduating class for their achievements and their dreams. You could be watching us from your bed or your living room, alone or with somebody. Wherever you are, you will all soon be breaking out of one world to soar into another.”

He then shared how his graduation felt like closing a chapter in his life but recalled it as “a moment I felt most like me, myself. A feeling I want to hold on to forever.”

Similarly, eldest member Jin shared how graduation led him to compare his idea of success to those around him. He then described the feeling as anxiety-inducing leading him to feel restless as he watched his friends “go far ahead of me.”

“Take a deep breath,” he advised the graduating class of 2020.

“You may find that any moment can be turned into an opportunity. Allow yourself to take it easy. Take it one step at a time. You might discover the important things you were missing and they will reach out to you.”

Rapper Suga brought comfort to his fans by mentioning that isolation can also lead to a bright future.

He said, “This might not be the grand finale that you had imagined, and a fresh start might seem far away. But, I wish to tell you: Please, don't be afraid. Don't worry about yourself because the end and beginning are connected.

“The only thing you can control is yourself. Get your hands on the changes you can make because your possibilities are limitless. After all, I also had no idea I would become a BTS member.”

This was also mentioned by BTS member V who said, “If there is anyone out there who cannot see where they should go from here, I urge you to listen to your heart.

“Things may feel a little difficult right now, but somewhere out there, luck and opportunity are waiting for you. I believe that.”

He ended his speech by saying, “Today may not be my own graduation, but I will try to look back upon this day as a moment I will treasure. I look forward to the day you will stand and tell us your own story.”
