We feel that BTS is the perfect Asian global ambassador for this discussion! Their clean and kind image has spread a lot of positivity during a time of pessimism towards Asians during the pandemic.
BTS was invited by the United Nations to give a speech about hope and power to those in their teens and 20's to shape a better future during an internet streamed event that drew over 1 million viewers on September 20, 2021. The group also performed "Permission To Dance" inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall during that time.
