News values
Size – Both campaigns received a lot of traction and reached over 6 million people via twitter globally
Simplicity – 2 campaigns over 2 countries with BTS spokesperson
Currency – BTS is gaining global fame exponentially making them and their Love myself album more trendy and current than ever
Elite nations – United Nations speech and UNICEF a large global organisation
Elite people – BTS
Personalisation – Involving problems of the masses and interest in BTS’s involvement in social issues
Predictability – Support preconceived idea that BTS are very social conscious because of many of their self-written songs about social issues like; mental health, socially unconscious people, people seeking satisfaction through consumerism, kids who will ‘break their parents’ backs’ demanding expensive items to stay on trend, students being overwhelmed by the expectations placed on them by elders, and the effect it has on their mental wellbeing, young people with no ambition and demand they take a stand to follow their true dreams, encourage listeners to not listen to negative opinions and remember to love themselves, girls should be able to live however they want have self-confidence and remember they’re enough and elder generations slowing down young people as ‘justice’.
