NEW YORK, 24 September 2018 - BTS joined United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres; President of Rwanda Paul Kagame; World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, European Union, Ms. Federica Mogherini; UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore; United Nations Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth Jayathma Wickramanayake; Unilever CEO Paul Polman; and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Lilly Singh, among other global, business, education and youth leaders to launch a new partnership to get every young person into quality education, training or employment by 2030, at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly. Generation Unlimited will tackle the global education and training crisis currently holding back millions of young people and threatening progress and stability by focusing on three key areas of work: secondary-age education; skills for learning, employability and decent work; and empowerment.

• We understand that everything doesn’t always go to plan. That’s why we pride ourselves on top-notch quality of support, any time of the day.
• Each giant card in this deck features images of the BTS members, so there's more to luv! Just like in classic UNO, players match cards by color or number in a race to get rid of all the cards in their hand. Play action cards like Skip, Reverse and Draw Four to shake up the competition. Giant UNO BTS makes a great gift for 7 year olds and up.

BTS UNO is the upgraded version of the UNO classic game allows us to ignite our inner dancing diva and perform routines like never before. You can get your opponents dancing with the special Dancing Wild card that can be played in the game. It is simply a different game and has different rule.

As prepared for delivery

'Thank you, Mr. Secretary General, UNICEF Executive Director, Excellencies and distinguished guests from across the world.

'My name is Kim Nam Jun, also known as RM, the leader of the group BTS. It’s an incredible honour to be invited to an occasion with such significance for today’s young generation.

'Last November, BTS launched the “Love Myself” campaign with UNICEF, building on our belief that “true love first begins with loving myself.” We have been partnering with UNICEF’s #ENDviolence program to protect children and young people all over the world from violence.

'Our fans have become a major part of this campaign with their action and enthusiasm. We truly have the best fans in the world!

'I would like to begin by talking about myself.

'I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea. It’s a beautiful place, with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival. I spent a happy childhood there, and I was just an ordinary boy.

'I would look up at the night sky in wonder and dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero, saving the world.

'In an intro to one of our early albums, there is a line that says, “My heart stopped…I was maybe nine or ten.”

'Looking back, that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped looking up at the stars at night. I stopped daydreaming. I tried to jam myself into moulds that other people made. Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others. No one called out my name, and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts.

'I had one sanctuary, and that was music. There was a small voice in me that said, ‘Wake up, man, and listen to yourself!” But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name.

'Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were hurdles. Most people thought we were hopeless. Sometimes, I just wanted to quit

'I think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up.

'I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling. We have become artists performing in huge stadiums and selling millions of albums.

'But I am still an ordinary, twenty-four-year-old guy. If there’s anything that I’ve achieved, it was only possible because I had my other BTS members by my side, and because of the love and support of our ARMY fans.

'Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become.

'I would like to say one last thing.

'After releasing the “Love Yourself” albums and launching the “Love Myself” campaign, we started to hear remarkable stories from our fans all over the world, how our message helped them overcome their hardships in life and start loving themselves. These stories constantly remind us of our responsibility.

'So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to “speak yourself.”

'I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat?

'Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.

'Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.

'I’m Kim Nam Jun, RM of BTS.

'I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town in Korea.

'Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life.

'I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.

'What is your name? Speak Yourself!'

A pre-order for a BTS Uno card game began on July 17, 2019. The item is a collaboration between Big Hit Entertainment and Mattel. The card game was created in 1971 in Ohio by Merle Robbins. Mattel began to manufacture UNO since it was bought from International Games, Inc. in 1992. There are many special versions of the game in existence including these related to the Star Trek movie franchise, the anime One Piece, The Simpsons animated television series, Sesame Street educational series and the national hockey league in North America (NHL).

But what exactly is UNO game? The goal is to deplete the cards you have in your hand by matching them by a number or color. The typical deck is composed of 108 cards but in this BTS UNO version you will get 112 sheets including a special Dancing Wild card. It forces a player to perform her/his favourite dance routine from one of the Bangtan Boys' songs. If you feel a little bit uncomfortable with this you can draw three additional cards instead. You can also use the standard action cards such as Wild Draw Four, Skip and Reverse. You can play the UNO card game in a group of 2-10 people. It is designed for anyone who are 7 years old or older. This BTS UNO special edition features the exclusive images of all members of the group including RM, Suga, Jin, J-Hope, V, Jimin and Jungkook and at the same time keeps the classic colors of the game (green, red, blue and yellow). If you like you can consider the cards as a typical KPop photocards. They come in a simple cardboard package with a sticker of authenticity on the back and a notice that it is an official item from Big Hit Entertainment - the company who of course created BTS. In the box you will also find a user manual with the instructions on how to play the game. The deck was originally retailed for $5.99. At this moment you can get it for a slightly higher price of $7.52.

This is not the only item from Mattel that was announced. Another products from the company were the BTS dolls. A series of 7 dolls representing each of the members wearing a colorful suit is currently available for purchase on a various stores online and offline. They are priced at $19.99 and you can get them directly from the Mattel official website. You can choose one of 7 variants or even get a all of them in a single set if you are a collector. They will probably gain more value in time.

If you like this BTS UNO set you should definitely grab a copy. It is a very original item which you can use to actively spend the time with your friends or family members. This is a highly recommended piece of merchandise for every A.R.M.Y. It is an official product so you don't have to worry about the quality. You will certainly be pleased with the purchase.
