KUALA LUMPUR: Award-winning television host Datuk Aznil Nawawi is greatly impressed with South Korean pop group BTS’ leader RM, who recently delivered his hand-written speech at the United Nations (UN).
Aznil, who uploaded RM’s speech at the UN General Assembly in New York recently, described the popular singer as a good and effective communicator who kept his message short and sweet.
“It may look like a gimmick to have BTS address the UN, but it’s great. RM has prepared his speech and understands what he is saying.
“He’s actually written his own speech and this shows he’s well-read and knowledgeable. He’s proof that all of us should master as much knowledge as we can, to help make a difference, regardless of who we are.
“I hope all entertainers emulate RM and his group, by reading and seeking knowledge. Fans will love you more for that!”
RM delivered his speech in conjunction with the first anniversary of the Love Myself campaign aimed at protecting young people from violence.
The campaign which began last year is a partnership between BTS and the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef).
More than 1,000 Netizens liked Aznil’s Instagram post, with most of them expressing support for BTS as capable global ambassadors, whom fans should look up to.
Chim said: “I have been an Army (BTS fan) since their debut. They've changed our lives with their positive music messages. They’re very inspirational.”
Khadijah said: “Well done BTS! I keep loving myself because of you guys.”
Lissa said: “So proud of the boys. They’ve shown detractors that they are world class singers and caring people too.”
Asma said: “RM is an awesome speaker!”
BTS which comprises RM (Kim Nam-joon), Jin (Kim Seok-jin), J-Hope (Jung Ho-seok), Suga (Min Yoon-gi), V (Kim Tae-hyung), Jimin (Park Ji-min) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung-kook), is the first South Korean pop group to address the UN.
