Drawing
UNICEF logo, Kim Namjoon's UNICEF Speech 24 September 2018, Bangtan Bomb.
Celebrating the efforts of the Kpop group BTS's campaign to raise awareness for mental health issues among teenagers.
Fans of the kpop group BTS are called ARMY. These fans purchase light sticks to use at concerts - the BTS light stick is called an ARMY BOMB. This is the general shape of my drawing. Going up the handle are the words 'mental health' implying that BTS help people with their mental health. Above that, is the UNICEF logo. This is because BTS did a campaign with UNICEF to tackle global issues like violence against children as well as mental health. In the background, I wrote out a slightly edited for length version of Kim Namjoon (the leader of BTS)'s address to the United Nations when BTS launched the second half of their UNICEF campaign, the Speak Yourself campaign. This speech addresses mental health and feelings of unworthiness and loss of sense of self, and urges people to find themselves, then speak themselves with pride.
