The most loved 21st century pop icons aka BTS visited the White House (Oval Office) day before yesterday to discuss diversity and other related issues with President of the United States Joe Biden. It was a 35-minute meeting where BTS and President Biden had a conversation on anti-Asian hate crimes and Asian inclusion.
President Biden began the conversation by speaking about discrimination and the recent rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. President Biden explained, “Hate only hides. When good people talk about it and say how bad it is, it goes down.”
President Biden said, “People care a lot about what you say, and what you are doing is good for all people.” He added, “It’s not just your good talent. It’s the message you are communicating. It matters.”
BTS said, “We want to say thank you, sincerely, for your decision such as signing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law,” and added “So we just want to be a little help and we truly appreciate the White House and government’s (efforts) trying to find solutions.”
At the end of the meeting, President Biden gave commemorative coins as gifts. BTS’ visit to the White House made another history of the “first” as South Korean artists. Invited as representing South Korean artists, BTS proved their global influence through meeting with President Biden.
