Korean President Moon Jae-in met K-pop band BTS on Tuesday, September 14, at his office to hand them their appointment papers as his special envoy for public diplomacy. Last July, the President had appointed BTS, consisting of RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, Suga, V and Jungkook as Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture. The septet went to Cheong Wa Dae, or Blue House, the official office and residence of the President for their appointment ceremony.
This came ahead of the United Nations General Assembly session in New York, after which the South Korean boy band will start their activities as the “special presidential envoy for future generations and culture”, as informed by the Blue House. BTS along with President Moon will be attending the second meeting of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Moment of the Decade of Action on Monday.
“As BTS has delivered messages of comfort and hope to the entire world, its attendance at the UN General Assembly this time is expected to serve as a meaningful opportunity to expand communication with future generations around the world and draw their sympathy on major international issues,” the Blue House said in a statement.
The photos from the events have gone viral on Twitter, with ARMYs sharing hilarious moments from the meet including J-Hope giving a thumbs up to the President and the members fist-bumping Moon.
