It was great to meet with you, @bts_bighit. Thanks for all you’re doing to raise awareness around the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination.

I am not American, so Biden is not my president. But it means so much to me when a leader acknowledges BTS’ influence and message. 🥺

Just like how the UN acknowledges their influence, so did the White House.

BTS really lights up our hearts. Their messages are meaningful.

“We still feel surprised that music created by South Korean artists reaches so many people around the world, transcending languages and cultural barriers. We believe music is always an amazing and wonderful unifier of all things.”
