SEOUL, May 27 (Yonhap) -- With the group BTS being invited to the White House, United States to celebrate "AANHPI Heritage Month," it has asked for people's support.
According to the music industry on the 27th, RM, the leader of BTS, said through the fan community "Weverse" the night before, "Everything happens in life, but as we're going there for the good, we'll go and come back home safely." He added, "Last time we went to the States, we were only able to see the (White House) from afar but now we got a chance to go in."
"It's not always, but we know everything you all are saying, and as we're also listening and watching, I want to tell you not to worry so much," he said. "We'll come back safely and see you all on June with a smile."
"We're going there thanks to all of you (ARMY· BTS fans), so this (schedule) is also yours. We ask for your support."
"It is a great honor to be invited to the White House by President Biden," said Big Hit Music. "As BTS is speaking with President Biden on behalf of the Korean artists, I hope that they will be able to share diverse stories including diversity, hate crimes against Asian, culture and art.
BTS has a "good influence" around the world by conducting acts including "Love Myself" campaign to deliver hope to the world with UNICEF and by participating in the "Black Lives Matter" campaign. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, they also raised their voice to the anti-Asian hate crime issue.
