“RM, Suga, and J-Hope enrolled in Hanyang Cyber University’s graduate school for an MBA in Advertising & Media in March last year, and they are currently attending school. Jimin and V will enter Hanyang Cyber University’s graduate school for an MBA in Advertising & Media in September,” the agency said, via Soompi.

The agency also confirmed that Jin is also currently attending Hanyang Cyber University, while Jungkook is attending Global Cyber University with a major in Broadcasting and Entertainment.

“The members’ enrollment in graduate school is not a matter related to their military service, and they entered the university because they are all interested in learning,” they went on to clarify.

Jin graduated from Konkuk University with a major in Film Studies, while RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and V graduated from Global Cyber University with a Broadcasting and Entertainment major.

We’re so happy to hear about their continued success in school – congratulations, BTS!

BTS is asking young people to help put a stop to violence in and around schools.

The South Korean boy band and UNICEF shared a new video in honor of UN International Day of Friendship.

The video features BTS singing their hit single “Answer: Love Myself” over fictional stories of young people encountering violence, bullying, and fear in and around schools, sending a message of friendship and support.

“Our LOVE MYSELF campaign is all about encouraging every young person to find the love from within themselves and spreading that love to others,” BTS said in a press release. “We want everyone to take part in ending violence by sharing love and kindness.”

BTS‘s LOVE MYSELF campaign has raised over $2 million to help UNICEF #ENDviolence.

UNICEF is urging young people leave a kind note for someone – in real life or online – and share it for others to see.

“Children and young people have told us time and again that being treated with kindness and respect helps them to feel safe in and around school,” UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore said. “Every day students face a range of violent acts, from bullying and physical attacks to corporal punishment, sexual assault and harassment online. By being kind, children and young people can show their support for each other and brighten someone’s day. We’re grateful to BTS for their continued commitment to making sure that no child is afraid to go to school.”

“I’m so excited for the track release. It was a pleasure to work with such a great band like HONNE. They helped produce ‘Seoul’ on my playlist mono. And I’m really glad that I could be a part of their work this time,” added RM.
