BTS themselves donated a portion of the proceeds from their Love Yourself album series to the campaign, and their fans followed suit, raising millions of dollars for UNICEF.

In 2020, BTS was invited to speak at the United Nations General Assembly for the second time, this time to deliver a message of hope and encouragement during the COVID-19 pandemic. They spoke about the power of music to bring people together and to provide comfort during difficult times.

Their music has also been used in various ways to spread positivity and hope. In 2019, BTS released their song "Lights" in Japan, which was dedicated to their fans and featured lyrics about finding hope and happiness in the darkness. The song quickly became an anthem for their fans and was used in a campaign to raise awareness for mental health issues.

BTS' music has also been used in various charitable campaigns, such as the "One Love Manchester" concert in 2017, which aimed to raise money for victims of the Manchester Arena bombing. Their song "Spring Day" was used as part of the campaign, and it helped raise millions of dollars for the cause.
