And I'd like to begin by talking about myself. I was born in Ilsan，a city near Seoul，South Korea. It is a really beautiful place with a lake，hills，and even an annual flower festival. I spent a very happy childhood there and I was just an ordinary boy. I used to look up at the night sky and wonder and I used to dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero who could save the world.

首先我想来谈谈我自己。我在韩国的日山出生，一个离首尔很近的美丽的城市，那里有湖泊，丘陵和一年一度的花宴，在那里我度过了很快乐的童年，那时的我只是一个很普通的男孩，我经常望着夜空做着那个年纪的男孩子会有的梦想，我曾幻想自己是可以拯救世界的超级英雄。

And in an intro to one of our early albums，there's a line that says，"My heart stopped when I was maybe 9 or 10." Looking back，I think that's when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped looking up at the night skies，the stars. I stopped daydreaming. Instead，I just tried to jam myself into the molds other people made.

在我们早期的一张专辑中的一首intro(AV32544313)里，有这样一段话：“大概在九岁或者十岁的时候我的心脏停止了跳动”现在回想起来，大概就是从那时起，我开始自已他人的眼光，开始透过他人的目光审视自己。开始不再仰望星空，开始停止做白日梦，取而代之的是我试图让自己符合别人设下的模板。

Soon I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others. No one called out my name，and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut.So，like this，I，we，all lost our names. We became like ghosts. But I had one sanctuary and that was music. There was a □□all voice inside of me that said，"Wake up，man，and listen to yourself." But it took me quite a long time to hear music calling my real name. Even after making the decision to join BTS，there were a lot of hurdles. Some people might not believe but most people thought we were hopeless and sometimes I just wanted to quit.But I think I was very lucky that I didn't give it all up.

我开始不再听自己的心声，转而去听别人的声音。没有人呼喊我的名字，哪怕是我自己。我的心脏停止了跳动，我的双眼也紧紧闭上了。就像这样，我、我们都失去了自己的名字。我们如魂魄一般生活。但是我有一个避难所——音乐。在我内心有个微弱的声音说“醒醒啊，听听你自己的声音”，尽管如此。我依旧花了很长时间才听到音乐呼唤我的真名。即使在我决定加入BTS后，依旧经历了很多困难。有些人可能不相信，但是在当时很多人都觉得我们毫无希望。有时我也会想放弃，不过很幸运的是我没有放弃。

And I'm sure that I and we will keep stumbling and falling like this. BTS has become artists performing in those huge stadiums and selling millions of albums right now，but I am still an ordinary 24 year old guy. If there is anything that I've achieved，it was only possible that I have my other BTS members right by my side and because of the love and support that our ARMY fans all over the world made for us.

我确信，我和我们都会一直像这样挣扎摔倒跌跌撞撞走着。虽然现在BTS已经成为了能在巨大的竞技场是哪个开演唱会，专辑销量上百万的艺术家，但是我依旧是一个平凡的24岁的男人。如果说我达到了哪些成就，之所以取得这些成就都只可能是因为有我的BTS的成员陪在我左右，以及来自世界各地的粉丝 ARMY对我们的爱与支持。

And maybe I made a mistake yesterday，but yesterday's me is still me. Today I am who I am with all of my faults and my mistakes. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser and that would be me too. These faults and mistakes are what I am，making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life.I have come to love myself for who I am，for who I was，and for who I hope to become.

昨天的我可能犯了错，但那依旧是我，今天，我是我，带着所有错误和过失的我。明天我或许会变得稍稍聪明一些，而那也依旧是我。这些错误和缺点就是我，他们是我人生中最闪耀的星星。我会开始爱我自己，现在的我，过去的我以及未来我想成为的我。

I'd like to say the one last thing. After releasing our Love Yourself albums and launching the Love Myself campaign，we started to hear remarkable stories from our fans all over the world how our message helped them overcome their hardships in life and start loving themselves. Those stories constantly remind us of our responsibilities

我想说的最后一件事是，在发行《LOVE YOURSELF》专辑，启动【LOVE YOURSELF】活动后，我们开始听到来自世界各地的粉丝非凡的故事，我们的信息是如何帮助他们克服人生中的苦难，并开始学会爱自己的。这些故事不断地提醒我们自己肩负的责任。

So，let's take all one more step. We have learned to love ourselves so now I urge you to "speak yourself."I'd like to ask all of you，what is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat? Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are，where you're from，your skin color，your gender identity，just speak yourself. Find your name and find your voice by speaking yourself.

所以，让我们一起向前再走一步。我们都已学到要爱自己，所以我现在要你为自己发声。我想问你们所有人，你叫什么名字？是什么使你兴奋?又是什么使你的心脏跳动？告诉我你的故事。我想廷加你的声音，我想知道你的信念。无论你是谁，来自哪里，不管何种肤色，性别认同为何，都为自己发声吧。透过为自己发声找到自己的名字与声音吧。
