I found the music I love, and I found myself. Thinking about the future and trying hard are all important, but cherishing yourself, encouraging yourself, and keeping yourself happy are the most important.
Jin also talked about the importance of cherishing 'me', 'you', and 'us', which is the message of their “Love Myself” campaign and their latest single 'Dynamite'. He said, "In a world of uncertainty, we must cherish the importance of ‘me,’ ‘you,’ and ‘us'. That's the message of "LOVE MYSELF" we talked about for 3 years. It's the message in the lyrics of our song Dynamite — I'm diamond, you know I glow up."
Jin's speech have always inspired many people, they're also meaningful and encouraging.
