The globally renowned K-pop group BTS will be attending the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and accompanying the South Korean President Moon Jae-in in New York where they will be representing the global youth at the Sustainable Development Goals Moment 2021 meeting.
The South Korean boy band is expected to deliver a speech for the United Nations as well as a taped performance after President Moon&rsquo;s speech.
From rookie idols to spokespeople for the United Nations. BTS has really come so far.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
On 14th September, the Grammy-nominated artists attended a special ceremony in Seoul, South Korea where they were appointed by President Moon as &ldquo;presidential special envoys for future generations and culture&rdquo; and received diplomatic passports.
&ldquo;It is a huge honor, both as an individual and a citizen, to be able to hold the title of special presidential envoy for future generations and culture," BTS leader and member Kim Namjoon, also known as RM, shared on behalf of the group.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re always thinking about how we could give more and return the love we have received, and we&rsquo;re just thankful that the president has presented us with such a big opportunity. We will do our best as special envoys,&rdquo; RM said.
BTS truly are humble with their achievements. We love down-to-earth kings!
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1632127075/unsigned/ybjrwzkuncwh1tnahxgd.jpg" alt="" width="500" /> Just BTS and the President of South Korea hanging out together. No big deal.
&nbsp;
BTS and the United Nations are no strangers to each other as this is not the first time the seven-member group has partnered with the United Nations. In 2017, the group was a part of the UNICEF &ldquo;LOVE MYSELF&rdquo; campaign which gives humanitarian and developmental aid to children all across the globe.&nbsp;
In 2018, the group spoke before the United Nations to support the launch of UNICEF&rsquo;s &ldquo;Generation Unlimited&rdquo; campaign to help every young person into quality education, training or employment by 2030.&nbsp;
In 2020, BTS also delivered a taped message at the 75th UNGA at a high-level side event organized by the Group of Friends of Solidarity for Global Health Security where the group shared their own struggles while in lockdown and encouraged the youth to not lose hope.
It&rsquo;s not every day that a K-pop group can brag about partnering with the United Nations. BTS truly has set the standard.

&nbsp;
This year&rsquo;s UNGA will be focusing on the &ldquo;need for greater urgency and ambition to end the pandemic and ensure an equitable and green recovery and accelerated implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.&rdquo;
The group took to their Twitter to ask their fans to share their experiences from the past 2 years as part of a collaboration with the United Nations called #Youth Today #Your Stories.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
It's great that K-pop idols like BTS are using their platform for the greater good. We need more artists who not only make good music but also speak up for important matters and to be good role models for the youth.
