 BTS Is Inspiring a New Viral Challenge About Personal GrowthMar 28th 2019, 15:28, by Raisa Bruner After surprise-releasing a “comeback trailer” for their upcoming album Map of the Soul: Persona on Wednesday, fans of K-pop supergroup BTS are running with the themes presented in the rap-forward track performed by leader RM. The fans’ response: creating a viral challenge called the “Persona Challenge,” which sees them sharing throwback photos and stories of their personal growth. In the new song and video, rapper RM, also known as Kim Namjoon, references eras past of both the seven-person musical group as well as his own challenges in the spotlight, from dealing with cancel culture to finding self-worth. (The group formed in 2013.) With that in mind, the fans — who call themselves ARMY — have decided to put their own stories to the “Persona Challenge” test. Some discuss past insecurities that they have worked to overcome, while others make sure to thank the boys of BTS (that’s RM, J-Hope, Suga, Jin, Jung Kook, Jimin and V) and their music for helping them move forward. BTS has long made it a priority to discuss social issues and anxieties in their mostly Korean-language lyrics and complex videos, which fans eagerly dissect. Their next album is set for an April 12 release. I was a girl with many insecurities back then, always struggling to make up for my lack of confidence. But now, I am a strong young woman who knows who she is. I may have my days and my nights, but one thing that will never change is my self-love. 💜#PersonaChallenge @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/3kG5r4T3bc — 🍀134340 miles from sanity🇳🇬 (@naija0329) March 27, 2019 1987 to 2019
I used to be a people pleaser. Timid af and would lie about how I felt. Not now. I also used to keep all my feelings to myself. Not now. I wrapped all my happiness into another person for a long time. But not now. I’m happy with myself. I ❤️ myself.#PersonaChallenge pic.twitter.com/7X9aFwy3W0 — Tammy Spurgeon (@Chaching1201) March 28, 2019 2015 2019 My self worth and confidence was based completely on the validation of those around me (boys, friends etc). I went through so much, and have fought to grow from it all I’m so proud of the woman I am today
