#OnMyMind
for every child, mental healthBTS supports #OnMyMind
BTS and Big Hit Music have been supporting the campaign #ENDviolence by initiating the ‘LOVE MYSELF’ campaign, in partnership with the Korean Committee for UNICEF since November 2017, to assist children and adolescents affected by violence.
The #OnMyMind campaign aims not only to prevent various forms of violence against children and adolescents but also to promote the understanding that it is natural for children and adolescents to experience various emotions, and to encourage them to freely talk about their feelings, mental health, and overall well-being.

Every 11 minutes, one child takes their own life
75% of adolescents face mental health challenges before reaching the age of 24
