What is the Love Myself Campaign?
The Love Myself campaign was started in 2017. Back then, the United Nations children’s agency had joined hands with K-pop septet BTS to spread awareness, end violence and promote child self-esteem. The campaign spread its message via including social media hashtags, merchandise, the South Korean group’s 2018-2019 “Love Yourself” world tour and a 2019 video for Unicef which urged people around the world to “choose kindness”. Now, since the BTS has raised $3.6 million, this money will be used for Unicef’s work to halt the violence.
