It is no secret that Korean boy band BTS is South Korea’s national treasure and cherished by fans, known as the ARMY, all over the world. The septet consisting of Jimin, J-Hope, Jin, Suga, RM, Jungkook, and V has certainly taken K-pop to a global stage by becoming the first K-pop group to be nominated for a Grammy Award and ruling the Billboard Hot 100 chart with their latest singles. Utilising their global influence, BTS will soon be joining the South Korean president Moon Jae-in at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Last week, the band members met with Moon for an official ceremony where they were appointed special presidential envoys for future generations and culture. Accepting the diplomatic passport offered by the South Korean government, BTS landed in New York on September 18 and will be performing at the 76th UNGA event on Monday.
