Today, the White House released a statement announcing that BTS will be meeting with President Joe Biden on Tuesday, May 31 as part of the administration’s Asian American And Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Month events. Consequence adds that BTS will be there to “participate in a discussion about Asian inclusion and representation.” The South Korean pop megastars will also be there to discuss increasing severity of anti-Asian discrimination and hate crimes and the White House statement also says Biden will highlight BTS’ “platform as youth ambassadors who spread a message of hope and positivity across the world.” (On a related note, this will be an excellent photo-op for Biden and a chance to show that he gets young people.)
