Korean idol Tiantuan BTS has a lyrics in the first song "Intro: Persona" on the sixth album "MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA":
Dear myself You must not lose your own temperature
because you don’t have to change To be warm does not have to be indifferent
even occasionally hypocrisy occasionally hypocritical
this is my direction that I want to set up my scale
I want to be what people expect me
what I love and what I create I am out of
who is smiling and I who occasionally shed tears.
PERSONA is alive and breathing every minute and every second"
