YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSouth Korean superstar K-pop group BTS will meet with President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday "to discuss Asian inclusion and representation and to address anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination," the White House announced. Their visit to the White House follows Biden's recent trip to South Korea, a U.S. ally. Biden and BTS also will discuss diversity and the group's platform as youth ambassadors. Attacks on Asian American communities have been on the rise amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, Biden signed into law in May 2021 the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. The band received its first Grammy nomination last year after releasing the song "Dynamite" as a gift to fans isolated by the coronavirus pandemic. BTS' visit comes at the end of AAPI Heritage Month and joins a slew of young stars the president tapped to share messages from the White House.
