The meaning behind DIADEM (the crown) 👑 from BTS special concept for D'FESTA: THE ORIGIN EXHIBITION "The ancient Greek statue 'Diadoumenos' depicts a victorious young man tying a band around his head with his own hands. This band is known as a 'DIADEM.' Originally, it was a simple piece of cloth used to keep hair and sweat away, but it gradually became a symbol of victory and excellence. Because the victor places the DIADEM on his head with his own hands, this band symbolizes the recognition and acceptance of an achievement accomplished through his own efforts, rather than an honor granted to him by others. BTS's achievements cannot be measured by awards and records alone. The years of training, the numerous decisions made behind the scenes, and their determination to push beyond their limits have shaped who they are today. Long before their success became visible to everyone, they were building the discipline and resilience that brought them to where they stand today. And like the victorious young man placing the crown of victory on his head with his own hands, the position BTS has reached today did not come from the outside; it is the fruit of years of dedication and achievements earned through their own efforts."
