President Moon Jae-in appointed the idol group BTS as the 'Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture'.

Blue House Spokesperson Park Kyung-mi said in a briefing on the 21st, "The appointment of a special envoy is part of public diplomacy that seeks to broaden diplomatic horizons by gathering diplomatic capabilities. It was carried out to enhance the image of the nation leading the issue."

As a special envoy, BTS will attend major international conferences such as the 75th UN General Assembly in September to deliver messages of comfort and hope to young people around the world. In addition, it plans to carry out various activities to promote international cooperation to solve global issues such as the environment, poverty and inequality improvement, and respect for diversity.


Spokesperson Park said, "The message of consolation in the lyrics of 'Permission to Dance', the sign language message in the choreography, and the message of the coexistence and harmony of various races are to overcome the COVID crisis through solidarity and cooperation with the world. It has something in common with the will of the Republic of Korea."
