The group will offer messages of comfort and hope to young people around the world and participate in various activities to "promote international cooperation to solve global issues such as environment, poverty, inequality improvement, and respect for diversity."

BTS gave their first UN speech in 2018, and then again in 2020.

They have also been behind the ongoing campaign "Love Myself" with UNICEF, which aims to end "violence toward children and teens around the world,
with the hope of making the world a better place through music."

In recent years, the South Korean superstars have been making waves around the globe with songs such as "Dynamite," "Life Goes On," "Butter," and "Permission to Dance." —JCB, GMA News
