As fans know, TXT recently signed a partnership with UNICEF to launch the global campaign Together for Tomorrow. The campaign focuses on improving mental health for children and adolescents. The initiative aims to spark empathy, break down prejudice, and encourage understanding, considering these as essential foundations for a healthy mind.

The signing ceremony took place at UNICEF headquarters in New York on October 1 (KST). There, Soobin, the leader of TXT, delivered a speech highlighting the significance of the campaign and outlining future goals.

“Through our musical journey, we have learned that expressing emotion is a sign of strength. Now, with our campaign with UNICEF, we want to help create a safe and inclusive space for youth to freely express their emotions,” he said.

At the end of his speech, he added: “Our team name, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, means that even with our differences, we come together, share one dream to create tomorrow. We invite all of you to share our long-cherished dream together, to shape a better tomorrow. In 2026, our campaign with UNICEF will unfold, so please stay tuned and join us along the way. Thank you!"

Soobin’s speech and presence quickly won the hearts of fans around the world. Yet, in contrast to the confidence he displayed at such a significant event, the TXT leader admitted that he was actually very anxious — so much that he “couldn’t fall asleep till 5-6 AM because the heart was beating too fast".

What stood out the most was that Soobin credited RM as an important figure in helping him successfully carry out his task. He shared the behind-the-scenes story of how the BTS leader helped him overcome his overwhelming anxiety before stepping on stage.

During a recent livestream, Soobin said: “Soмєтнing I was really grateful about is that before the UNICEF speech, I was really really nervous so I contacted Namjoon hyung and I was like, ‘Hyung, I’m going here and I’m really nervous.’ About 30 minutes before the speech, Namjoon hyung suddenly called me and he was like, ‘Fighting! There’s a video I watch when I’m nervous, I’ll send it to you,’ and then he sent it to me.”

He continued: “He said, ‘The people there aren’t going to be nervous, they’re going to be relaxed and comfortable while watching you. You’re the only one that’s nervous there so be relaxed while doing it too.’ And come to think of it, it was true! It felt like I was the only one who was nervous; the atmosphere there was lighter and more cheerful than expected, so I was able to feel more at ease because hyung cheered me on like that.”

Through Soobin’s story, fans were reminded of BTS’s leader — who had represented the group in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2018, at the launch of the Generation Unlimited initiative, under UNICEF’s partnership with BTS and linked to LOVE MYSELF.

That year, the moment of RM — confident and eloquent, delivering a message that touched the hearts of millions around the globe — left a lasting impression. Even today, his speech continues to resonate, serving as both inspiration for others and a valuable subject of academic study.

It’s no exaggeration to say that he paved the way and is now guiding his junior, Soobin, in carrying out this important mission. Fans expressed admiration for RM’s strength and experience, while also enjoying the warmth and unwavering support between the two BigHit groups:

- From mentoring fellow artists to inspiring millions worldwide, RM continues to be the kind of leader who uplifts others and leaves a lasting impact. His wisdom doesn’t just echo in his music, but in the way he empowers voices around him

- Bangtan really being THAT sunbae(senior) who they really needed for themselves back in 2017 to TXT with so much love and pride. Bigнιт family

- I love how strong their bond is and how they trust each other. Thank god They have each other

- you did so well soobinie and we’re incredibly proud of you! i’m so happy and relieved knowing txt and bts have each other. they truly are one big family

- I'm so proud of you soobin you did amazing. I couldn't be more touched knowing that soobin got a lot of support from namjoon

- Kim Namjoon you are really precious. This bigнιт family always so sweet

- A motivator and consoler like namjoon is all we need in life

- Remember when Yoongi said BTS in first years was growing so fast that they kept turning to bigger and bigger seniors for advices. Until they became so big there was no senior anymore to turn to, and how lonely it felt.

- I can’t believe he contacted namjoon to help him to feel more confident about his unicef speech. RM is not only the leader, he's the president of Big Hit

- namjoon is always ready to give advice to his youngest and support them at important moments. oh he's the older he should have dreamed of when he went through all the difficulties as a leader
