South Korean pop group and global sensation BTS attended on Monday, September 20, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Moment at the 2021 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Speaking before an audience of their fans, diplomats, and leaders from all over the world, the septet advocated for COVID-19 vaccinations and represented the “welcome generation.”
In their speech, BTS highlighted how the youth of today managed to adapt and still “forge ahead” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
BTS also performed their latest single, “Permission to Dance,” which was shot at the empty assembly hall in the UN. The performance ended with them dancing outdoors at the UN Headquarters in New York.
The 2021 speech followed their appointment by South Korean President Moon Jae-in as Special Envoy for Future Generations and Culture.
The group also uploaded photos – including selfies – they took during their visit to the UN Headquarters.
This is BTS’ third appearance before the UNGA in four years. They first spoke during the UNGA in September 2018 to launch UNICEF’s “Generation Unlimited” campaign, telling the world’s youth to listen to their inner voice and resist pressure to conform.
In September 2020, the septet, in a recorded message for the 75th UNGA, encouraged the youth to “live on” and cherish themselves during the coronavirus pandemic.
Composed of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, BTS is the biggest pop group in the world today. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the group had been performing in sold-out concerts all over the world. – Rappler.com
