They are also using this opportunity to thank BTS for helping them along the way.

I have grown so much yet I have yet to bloom. BTS has been the water that has helped me grow throughout the years. I’ve never met them nor have I ever been to a concert but it feels as though I’ve known them forever. They have helped me love myself💜 #PersonaChallenge @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/zyRRqmHlRR
