One In An ARMY is releasing this statement because as a team and as ARMY, we have a list of concerns with the recently published article on Bloomberg Businessweek.
When we collectively decided to give a pause to any media interviews some time back, the reason was the possible direction this and other articles were taking when we were interviewed a few months back (around the height of the BLM activity and the Trump rally incident).

In his interview with Grazia Magazine, Yoongi said,
“The media chases after issues and sets up the standard of beauty as being dependent on how thin someone is. However, there are people on the other side of the world starving and dying because they do not have food to eat. There needs to be more attention towards that side. If I become an influential and honorable person, wouldn’t I be able to shift people’s attention to that side?”
