BTS recently visited New York City with South Korean President Moon Jae In and first lady Kim Jung Sook for three days as Special Presidential Envoys for Future Generations and Culture. During their trip, they addressed world leaders at the 76th United Nations General Assembly.
Additionally, BTS and Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hwang Hee visited the Korean Cultural Center New York in Manhatten, New York, a branch of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of the Republic of South Korea, on September 22. They went to see a new photo exhibition that showcases 200 representative Korean actors titled “THE ACTOR IS PRESENT: Korean Actors 200.”
The members got to see some of their friends represented in the exhibition, such as Itaewon Class and upcoming The Marvels actor Park Seo Hoon and Record of Youth‘s Park Bo Gum on the gallery. Other actors included Vincenzo‘s lead Song Joong Ki and the first Oscar-winning Korean actor Youn Yuhjung from Minari.
The Korean Cultural Center New York said that it was a surprise visit from BTS. When the members heard about the Korean film exhibition, they requested to tour the exhibition hall. The members were surprised but proud that there was such a place that people go to experience Korean culture in New York.
This was surely a pleasant surprise for those who work at The Korean Cultural Center New York, being visited by the beloved music group. It was a memorable time for everyone involved.
Thank you so much BTS!!
