BTS says they have accepted a request to become a special presidential envoy to make a meaningful contribution to the youth generation and South Korea.

The South Korean boy band shared their opinions on a SBS news program on Saturday after President Moon Jae-in appointed the K-pop band as a special envoy for future generations and culture earlier this week.

It was the first time any artist or cultural figure in the nation was tapped as an official government envoy.

BTS leader RM said that all its members belong to the youth generation and have directly and indirectly observed global issues and economic crises affecting the generation.

Also noting the current global crises induced by the pandemic and others, he said the group will do whatever it can as a future generation and culture envoy and do their best to complete their missions.
