In addition to BTS' powerful speech, they also performed their hit single “Permission To Dance.”
As Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture, BTS attended the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Sept. 20 and spoke about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change on younger generations.
Using billboards, the members of BTS revealed what younger generations have been focusing on amidst the pandemic. One of the responses was spending more time in nature, which member J-Hope connected to the importance of addressing climate change. “I shudder to think about mourning for the Earth,” he stated. “Everyone agrees that climate change is an important problem, but talking about what the best solution might be, that’s not easy. It’s a topic that’s tough to make conclusions about.
Instead, eldest member Jin offered a new, uplifting title in its place. “Instead of the lost generation a more appropriate name would be the welcome generation,” he said. “Because, instead of fearing change, this generation says welcome and keeps forging ahead.”
