South Korean boy band BTS speaks at UN General Assembly to help promote UN goals for 2030, including ending extreme poverty, preserving the planet and achieving gender equality
After remarks, the pop stars put on a pre-recorded video of their track "Permission to Dance" as they showed their moves throughout the General Assembly and on the world body's lawn facing the East River.
BTS members told the UN session that they were "heartbroken" to cancel their latest tour because of the pandemic and that they had asked other young people to share perspectives on being the "Covid lost generation," with life disrupted since early 2020. "There were times during the past two years when I too felt bewildered and troubled but still we hear people cry out, 'let's live on, let's make the best of this moment,'" singer Jin said as he recounted responses from young people."We thought the world has stopped, but it continues to move forward. Every choice we make is the beginning of change."
