BTS are sending out a message to "Live Your Passion With Purpose" to the Philippines in their latest telco campaign.
In an announcement made earlier this year, the global pop group partnered with SMART to support their "goal of inspiring people to live their lives with passion and purpose". Today, the GRAMMY-nominated act launched their campaign with the telecommunications company, which includes a commercial film and microsite, in hopes of encouraging Filipino youths during these trying times.
BTS share fond memories of Filipino ARMY: "Philippines can't be left out for Southeast Asia tour!"
"On behalf of Smart, we are very honored to have this partnership with BTS that encourages the Filipino youth to keep their faith and continue pursuing their passion and purpose no matter the challenges the lie ahead," said Jane J. Basas, SVP and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart.

The commercial film sees BTS walking up and down seven sets of stairs, symbolising their ability to defy impossible situations. Designed and modelled after each of the members' individual passions, the commercial features messages of hope and encouragement centered around the themes of passion and purpose.
RM:"It’s been a while since we met with ARMY and everyone in the Philippines. Let’s meet soon after this long winter is over. I miss you a lot."
