Moon first announced the appointment in July, saying that the move is in line with the government's "global agenda for future generations, including sustainable growth."

In their new capacity, 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 is expected to accompany Moon to New York this September to attend the 76th UN General Assembly.

The members will attend the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Moment on September 20, where they will deliver a speech.

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

BTS has 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." —JCB, GMA News
