2012: I was on the verge of giving up. I starved and harmed myself. I saw no future and had no dreams. Thought that was it.

2019: I'm about to graduate Uni. I still struggle but haven't harmed myself in 3yrs. I'm healing. I have a dream. I'll get there one day.#PersonaChallenge pic.twitter.com/VqcjR6RQea

Amidst all this, fans did not forget BTS. Several shared throwback pictures of when the band was still new to their recent outing.
