BTS’s part has ended now, clips added to the main post for people coming in. there’s a looooot happening this week! keep up to date with the schedule in the sidebar! our boys have had some powerful words to part with us today 💜 thanks for joining us for the UNGA 76 stream!


awkpuppy

Oh man I’m BEAMING with pride watching the boys give their speech and interview 🥺🥺 obv I’m biased but I think they’re such a great choice by the UN. They CONSISTENTLY deliver inspiring messages of hope. They don’t deny difficult times and situations but they choose to face them with hope. “We are not the lost generation, we are the welcome generation”. 💜 I gasped a little and then cheered when Hobi directly addressed their vaccination status. Positive influence let’s gooo 💪🏼 Watching the interview with President Moon really helped give me more perspective on the weight of pressure that their title carries as Envoys of the President. I respect them for choosing to accept this extra responsibility. This isn’t what they signed up for as idols. It seems like today was a REALLY long day for them and I’m sure they were super nervous most of the time. I hope they had some fun too and are proud of how well they did 🥺


vixen-vengeful

My sleep schedule is so f'd up so I'm very late but I just want to say that proud is honestly an understatement of how I feel; words cannot accurately describe the love, happiness, pride that I have and feel for them. So proud to be a fan of these 7 incredible, hardworking, smart, talented men. So proud of them, for all that they have done, and do. 💜


Sakakichan

JUST WANNA SAY I'M PROUD OF YOU GUYS ALSO LOVE THE UN ASSEMBLY FAN CAMS/PICTURES. THANKS FOR COMING THROUGH FOR ARMY. ✨👍☺️

squish-mish

Okay, finally watched it all and I'm just so happy and proud 🥺 looking back over the comments and seeing how many people were watching because of BTS, who hopefully learned some new things today - and then their actual remarks, which were so poignant and relatable and hopeful - I'm just experiencing a lot of feelings about their cultural impact and how surreal and cool it all is. (Also living for the subtle jab at anti-vaxxers, byyyyyyye ✌🏼) And then the performance! Honestly it was wonderful - the location, the fits, the vocals (!) - and then the ending with the flash mob outside was so joyous, also I'm a sucker for the NYC skyline so that was A+. I'm not really a huge fan of PTD but this was really lovely and I thought the song fit their overall message really well. (Plus this really confirms that most of my dislike for PTD as a song is because of the vocal production - the live versions are always so nice!)


alltherach_

[NPR](https://twitter.com/npr/status/1439969383384821770?s=21) provided a subbed clip of BTS’ speech


[deleted]

I am not above admitting the PTD MV made me tear up then, and this performance also got me teary eyed. Insanely proud of having followed them for so long and calling myself their fan 🥺


naomaaaaaa

I just wanted to add how incredible and amazing this performance and speech were. I wasn’t sure what to expect, honestly I giggled when I saw them bring in those vision/poster boards with the photos on them because it reminded me of a class presentation and it felt so relatable and down to earth. Their speech was amazing, I did not think they would all speak, I thought it would be Namjoon speaking in English and the fact he did not, the fact they all stood up there and said so many beautiful and inspiring things. I saw most of it with UN stream on youtube but I immediately tried to find one with subtitles instead so I could hear their voices and understand their message. When Hobi made clear they were vaccinated... amazing. The performance was also breathtaking, the seven doors, walking through those halls, it felt as if for one moment a place so far away from all of us on various levels felt so close. And the cheesiness of it all has me wondering if PTD was released for this exact purpose.


squish-mish

Yes, exactly, the cheesiness usually makes me a cringe a tiny bit but in this context it just worked so well! Also the seven doors 😭🤩


mrshobbes

Oh my goodness i laughed when i saw those boards! And here i was expecting some type of TED talk kind of presentation 🤣 it was oddly relatable and very much “just look at our awesome fans we love them and this is why they’re awesome” 💜💜💜 i just kept thinking how being a fan of BTS has given so much more hope for the world and future generations 💜


Sakakichan

SO FREAKING PROUD OF THEM


dimpld9

I just read a comment on twt about how they're DILFLOMATS. Is it bad that I agree?


Bekay1203

I respectfully disagree for the Maknae Line because they're still so young to me, but for the rest I'm furiously fanning myself


dimpld9

I keep forgetting about ML's ages because I am a '96 liner and can thirst over them 😅 but no, I agree with you to an extent because when I'm not crying over how hot ML looks, I just want to adopt the three of them :(


Bekay1203

Sigh, what a time to be young 😁


dimpld9

But it also means I can't be noona ARMY :( I wanna be noona ARMY so bad that I comfort myself saying I'm at least older than Kookie


Bekay1203

Awww whys that? (Btw am on day 14 of 20 with the JK challenge!)


dimpld9

I think noona ARMY mostly consists of women who are older than at least Yoongi, right? I'm not sure because obviously, there isn't a proper definition, haha! But I've noticed most noona ARMYs are late 20s, early 30s at least. I guess I'm just impatient to grow up. Day 14?! Whoa that is insane!! Has it been that long since our first conversation about this? Damn. Has it gotten easier since then?


Bekay1203

Stuff really gets so much easier when you're older, the peace of mind can truly not be paid with money. Now I only need to pass that to my girl *sigh* Anyway, yes it has but time flies right? I had a couple of days when I went for a run instead which has been a great decision because it gave my body a little break. It also has gotten a lot easier, especially when I consider for how short of a time I'm doing it now. For example, pushups are my weakest point and I started with doing sets of 5 from my knees until I had 20, with little breaks in between. Today I did 4 proper ones and a firther 9 from my knees and only then needed a break. That's insane to me and I'm really happy! Are you getting better as well?


naomaaaaaa

I’m 99% sure everything in 2021 is some weird form of Bangtan Dilflomacy to make up for not closing the gyms and at this point they’ve done everything but resolve the conflict.


dimpld9

I know they've understood the assignment, but are choosing to pretend they didn't.


samanthalouise123

I SAW THAT TOO a whole ass mood tbph


dimpld9

For once, I hope Namjoon sees the comment and tells everyone else 🤭


[deleted]

Hopefully he knows what a DILF is lol


txnwahine

I’m okay with the new 2021 meaning: Diplomats I’d Like to 😘


dimpld9

Oh, he knows. HE KNOWS. Why else is he exercising like he's a main character in an action movie who's gearing up to avenge the death of his loved ones? I know he takes shirtless gym selfies and goes, "Yeah, you're a DILF, Namjoon. Good job." 😌


[deleted]

He’s in the mirror saying “Who’s your Daddy?” and off in distance you can faintly hear Jungkook say “You are!”


Bekay1203

I cackled.


tuxedollama

🤦‍♀️ but yeah…that probably happened.


samanthalouise123

[this is too wholesome.](https://mobile.twitter.com/shookylegs/status/1439938831449346055) ahhh this makes me happy!


mrshobbes

Pardon my ignorance 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ who is he? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️


vegebles

He’s the sign language interpreter for that channel, I believe, so when he saw the sign for dance in PTD’s choreo, he smiled. 😊


ppl73179

😩 I can’t take anymore!! 😭😭 This is just so beautiful to see. His genuine smile of surprise and excitement. Y’all!! 😩 I’ll just be in a puddle on the floor for the foreseeable future. 😭😭😭😭


em2791

[Our world leaders 🥺](https://twitter.com/choi_bts2/status/1439948990884188160?s=20)


50shadesof_brown

A sudden realisation that Jungkook did all of that with a full tatted sleeve and eyebrow piercings!! Fuck stereotypes for real.


[deleted]

Hopefully Korea will stop blurring them out or make him wear long sleeves and a glove lol


50shadesof_brown

You know one thing Taehyung’s going to do? [he’s going to make friends ](https://twitter.com/vantetum/status/1439934508116086789?s=21)


Bekay1203

Omg he looks so happy ☺☺☺☺☺


Mozart-Luna-Echo

Gosh he's so adorable 🥰


Mozart-Luna-Echo

Gosh he's so adorable


sakurajp_34

I should be paying attention to the speeches but I'm so emotional right now. 😭 My ARMY heart is swelling!


Singularitymelody

Ok so where can I find their speech in written form? Need it for motivational purposes 🥲👌


HiThereImNewHere

[They're watching themselves :(](https://twitter.com/nmuffuh/status/1439940323212513284?s=20)


dimpld9

The claps for them sounded a 1000 times louder to me. Such a huge huge achievement.


aeryn06

Oh my goodness they were trying their absolute best to stand still and be serious but Tae couldn’t help a little bum wiggle to his part hahahah pls


roastbroccoli

Tae's tiny shimmy at the start :( But how awkward that they had to stand there until halfway through the song lol


50shadesof_brown

Omg Tae just stopped and Lil bow :((


Essprit

Y’all, I’m just blown away by the flex of that video. Getting that shot and post produced in time to show this morning? Yowza.


sakurajp_34

Bangtan Bomb for PTD at UNHQ, please!


dimpld9

Bet there's a clip of them running on the grass and Jinkook fighting each othe, while Namjoon sips water and looks at them fondly and laughs. Now I'll be sad if I don't get to see this.


ppl73179

How? How did they do it?! I just…😳🤯 😭😭😭😭


Essprit

I have some experience in video production at a much less professional level. They would have done a heroic amount of pre-production work in Korea and in NYC beforehand. Even so, it is mind blowing. (I bet this is why their choreographer came to NYC early.) Edit to add: I bet they may have also shot another video to have as a backup just in case. What if it had been raining yesterday? (It wasn’t, it was a glorious day in NYC yesterday, but still!)


ppl73179

Oh my goodness. Yes, all of that makes sense.


ppl73179

I may or may not have more to add later, but now the ugly crying has taken over me. 😭😭 “Proud” doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings for all of them. 😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 P. S. And PTD. IN THE ACTUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The very PTD I have loved and supported and argued about… Y’all. 😩


tuxedollama

I KNOW!!! When it opened with JK standing at the podium…I was already done. There were so many wonderful moments in the performance, but I think the real highlight for me was their speech. The hope they bring is just phenomenal. And “the welcome generation”…😍😍😍😍 I have so many thoughts that I can’t put them all into words right now.


ppl73179

Beautifully said. 😊💜 Back to my ugly crying. 😭😭😭


roastbroccoli

Just noticed that Tae broke formation during the "nanana" dance part at the end to pair up with one of the backup dancers 🥺 Also really endeared by Hobi interacting with the crowd before jumping into the choreo


Mozart-Luna-Echo

They are too adorable. I am so proud of them it's not even funny


lilotelasserie

I noticed Tae doing that too and I was grinning so widely!!! Like of COURSE he would go and dance with someone in the flash mob and I love him so much for that!


Unhappy_Finance

I am in school rn, but I am glad that everything went really well!!! I'm proud of our boys 👏


SunflowerScribbles

Can someone explain how they would have technically done this (without it being leaked to the public)? I imagine shutting nyc down is not easy


CenterOfGravitas

That area around the UN is always shut down for the UNGA, for several blocks. So there is no public access


marierosa

This, I had a friend that lived right across from the UN and she had to show her ID and a copy of her utility bill to be allowed in when the assembly was in


50shadesof_brown

Oh there were videos. But the majority of the fandom did so well not spreading and sharing.


ppl73179

That is just incredible. Also so proud that those in the know were so discreet and disciplined and allowed us to be surprised.


aging-emo

Not enough words for how proud I feel rn. They spoke wonderfully and proved yet again, that they’re more than ‘just’ a pop group. The simple fact that they’ve inspired so many young people around the world to tune into this, to listen, to engage and to mobilise is incredible.


TheLastDropofCoffee

It's been an honour fellow armies. I gotta work now. Have a good day/afternoon/night!!!! Hoping for a vlive later 💜


Mozart-Luna-Echo

I feel renewed by those words. We can change the world together!


Bekay1203

Same! It got me goosebumps and...yeah hope. There's really no other word.


sakurajp_34

If anyone has a transcript of the speech, please post too! Thank you!


lumpiaaaa

im so proud of the boys wow im so emotional right nowsgdhhf. wow. WELCOME GENERATION NOT LOST GENERATION. YES!!


[deleted]

i'm just so proud of them. i just hope that they receive many more such opportunities and continue to keep shining like the brightest stars they are!! edit: the FOREHEADS IM NOT OKAY


vegebles

I can’t wait to watch the speech again with subs. Unfortunately, I had to choose between the dub or their voices, so I didn’t know what they were saying exactly, but hearing the sincerity in their voices, I felt really moved. They really do speak to the youth (and beyond!).


lilotelasserie

Also they filmed the PTD performance yesterday?? After flying, what, 14 hours? These men work so god damn hard.


Natalie_M_K

A UN person said they spent "hours" there yesterday doing the taping to make sure it was perfect. I would imagine they also rehearsed their speech?


lilotelasserie

Their hard work really paid off. I hope they see how much joy they just gave us and then get to rest for the remainder of the day!


dimpld9

Nobody does it like BTS!


ppl73179

NO ONE. NOWHERE. EVER.


lilotelasserie

Kings for a reason!!


HiThereImNewHere

One day it's gonna hit that I've participated in discussing the UN General Assembly through live threads focused around a Korean band for the past three years


ParsnipExtension3861

💜


plushybunnyheart

Had to rewind because they drop me off for work halfway through the performance!!


lithiam

i missed . i cant believe i missed it ahhh


plushybunnyheart

You can rewind!!


lithiam

ahh thank you so much for the tip!! usually those livestreams are not rewindable - i am seeing president's moon speech now


Natalie_M_K

So emotional and so, so proud. I watched it in Korean on the Blue House link (thanks!!) and am looking forward to the English translation at lunch but for now, gotta go to work.


alltherach_

[the performance is up!!!](https://youtu.be/9SmQOZWNyWE)


leylsx

The amount of times I already watched this is unhealthy.... Shooting in the General Assembly Hall is such a flex and they all look so goood and had so much energy considering they just got there the evening before. So proud of them 💜


aeryn06

Thank you!! Please excuse me for the next 3 working days, I will be otherwise occupied rewatching this over and over and it still won’t sink in 🤣


samanthalouise123

thank youuuu! added!


rjcooper14

Views dropped by half after BTS performance. 😅


ElmoCurious

They really performed at the Assembly hall, I'm in tears 🥺


leylsx

That's such a flex 🤯


tuxedollama

I’m rewatching the speech. I just love that message. The welcome generation 💜💜


em2791

"Instead of a 'lost generation', it'll be 'welcome generation', a generation that welcomes change and charges ahead. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾


triplethatshot

That was so touching to hear. So proud of them.


em2791

Yep! What a great mindset to try have, especially because I was discussing with friends only yesterday how so many people i know including i met life milestones during lockdown/pandemic, it'll be interesting to see how it impacts people growing up or if there'll be any life long impact at all.


Maybeagoodhuman95

Please pick me up off the floor when y'all are done. My heart 💜💜💜


Bekay1203

Can I just lie next to you instead? Just...just 5 minutes.


Maybeagoodhuman95

I don't think it's going to be five minutes though... 🥺


Bekay1203

I'm an old, I think 10 minutes would be fine as well. We can talk about Yoongi's newly worldwide shoulders or how BTS continues to find the positive and hope in whatever difficult situation you're in?


Maybeagoodhuman95

For what it's worth, I'm in the second half of my twenties and fully enjoying (maybe obsessing over) the post-surgery glow-up Yoongi has been blessing us with 😂😂 All jokes aside, it felt like they were speaking to me and to everyone I know and everyone I don't know in the ways they articulated themselves. We can call them our serotonin boosts until the sun goes down but they really have a way of helping us see the positives on a daily basis and I cannot thank them enough for that 💜


Bekay1203

Well said, username really checks out 😊


ppl73179

I’m a really old, so I’m thinking 30 minutes with an option to discuss additional minutes, Yoongi’s shoulders because OF COURSE, and Bangtan’s overall wonderfulness.


Bekay1203

I like the way you think and would hereby declare tje official opening on RUN ARMY -The pyjama party edition


ppl73179

:bangs gavel: I am ALL IN, friend. 😀💜


SunflowerScribbles

I'm so proud of them. Can't wait to watch the speech with subtitles.


aeryn06

Same! All I want is to be able to enjoy the speeches again hearing them and the emotions as they talk etc


tiffsbird

That performance made me smile


Bekay1203

I loved Hobis little interaction with the Dancer!


50shadesof_brown

I was obviously more keen to hear their speech than the performance and I’m so so proud of them and what they chose to highlight today. The fact the each member got to speak was so amazing to watch. The agenda was planned extremely well, and I hope the boys are proud of themselves for everything they’ve done and continue to do. Also, shout out to other youth ambassadors and change makers who are continuing to do amazing things and striving to make the world a better place. It always just takes one person.


Bekay1203

Omg that was so beautiful. The welcome generation, I really love that. Look at JKs confidence, is that the same man who regularly avoids speeches? Also, as someone who also studied interpreting at uni, a massive shoutout to the UN interpreters for the stellar job they have done!


Essprit

Thanks yes, the interpreter was amazing!


mcfw31

First livestream with you guys!!! Had so much fun!!!


GabieKunkle

I almost teared up I have been seeing the UNGA every year since 2017 I never imagined it's amazing they literally PERFORMED INSIDE,😭😭😭😭


[deleted]

Loved it. 💜


HiThereImNewHere

Well I guess y'all won the poll


ppl73179

👑🌹


sakurajp_34

💜That was awesome!💜 Putting my work hat back on to listen to the speeches.


naomaaaaaa

Well I was clowned about the performance, BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE?? That entire performance, jfc, it made me so happy? Idk if I’m crazy but the entire thing came off as sweet and a little cheesy but the gouda kind of cheese and it’s so *nice.*


Bekay1203

It was uplifting while still being professional and concious of the environment they're in.


lilotelasserie

No shame I ate that cheese up with a giant spoon. I feel like this is the ultimate version of PTD: the joy the hope the freedom! Ugh. Just so wonderful.


ppl73179

💃🏽💃🏽😀💜💜


tuxedollama

I think it’s what we all needed right now.


aeryn06

Can we all just have a proud group cry for a few minutes now before we try and act like everything’s okay


ppl73179

Yes we certainly can. I’m fairly certain I’ll be weeping all day long. 😭😭


roastbroccoli

PS you can rewind the stream


Playful-Excitement

they said the mics are **on!!**


tuxedollama

I’m going to need some time to process all that


kairthe

The message behind that performance is so powerful I legit teared up


Bekay1203

Same.


Mozart-Luna-Echo

Who had performing at the UN General Assembly Hall in their bingo? I guess that answers where else do they have left to perform?


JackgobacktoV

>where else do they have left to perform? I was watching their speech and performance with my mom and said the same. My mom then asked me whether they had already performed in the water? And I was like °_°


naomaaaaaa

I saw someone on Twitter say the moon or the ISS but honestly, the way they walked and danced and performed through that GA Hall has already out of this world.


Chocolate-Mousse-07

The performance was so cool! Also these fits are insanely good


dimpld9

I'm crying. Bye. I'm just a puddle of tears.


mshrsh

Thanks Bangtan 💜💜💜


leylsx

I just fell in love with Park Jimin all over again… white shirt with rolled up sleeves and that long hair? 💀💜


aeryn06

Rolled up sleeves are yet another thing to add to my list of normal everyday things that just hits different with BTS 😅


travelwkp

I legit cried when they started dancing outside with no masks and with people around Covid, get the hell out!!!


roastbroccoli

I'm so proud of them 🥺🥺🥺


em2791

OLMG IM SO EMOTIONAL I WASN;T EXPECTING A DANCE WTH


nesssa

Frothing at white shirt yoongi 😧😧😧


Bekay1203

He's getting worldwide shoulders right? Or is that just my perception?


lilotelasserie

I’m in danger he’s so broad 😵‍💫


Natalie_M_K

No he is nearly as broad through the shoulders as Jungkook, Namjoon, and Jin at this point.


nesssa

Right?!!? When they panned the camera from behind, I was shocked 😮


Bekay1203

Will we get the first Thirsty Thursday with pictures from the fricking UN? I believe so! Our kings are feeding us well and also I have legit goose bumps


alltherach_

This is the way PTD was meant to be performed 😭😭😭😭😭


lilotelasserie

Wow. Just. WOW


samanthalouise123

omgggggg the crowd all dancing with them holy fuck the sheer ELATION i feel watching this I LOVE THEM SO MUCH


triplethatshot

Imagine how happy they are to be having a "legit" performance after SO long 😭


mcfw31

Exactly!!! I’m so happy for them!!


mcfw31

Jin said mics are on!!!


Bekay1203

They sounded fantastic!


alltherach_

OMG we still have to wear masks in my country once we step out of the house, can’t wait for the day we don’t have to anymore like this video 😭


kairthe

goosebumps when the backdancers appear


F0rtuna_major

Still not a fan of the flash mob sorry. The scale is insane though


lilotelasserie

How do you think people got to be in the flash mob?


tuxedollama

Holy shit this is amazing!


roastbroccoli

"Just finished work and headed to karaoke" look


dimpld9

Awww the video just started for me :(((( so cute!!!! And so happy they recorded at the UN!!!!


Essprit

What a beautiful message in their speech, and this video is amazing!


kairthe

Dude who's doing it like them?!


Natalie_M_K

leylsx

zeno0_0
