BTS Turns World Leaders Into ARMYs At The UN General Assembly
It looks like ARMYs will have some high-profile competition the next time BTS tickets go on sale!
Today, all seven members arrived at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to deliver a message of hope. BTS attended the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as special presidential envoys to President Moon Jae In.
In their shared speech, BTS spoke from the heart about the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines, climate change, and the so-called “lost generation” that they renamed the “welcome generation.”
With every word spoken, BTS gained new fans, some of whom happen to be world leaders and VIPs. Several were spotted filming BTS on their phones, capturing this historic moment for themselves or, possibly, the other ARMYs in their lives!
imagine being on sucha level where you're giving speech at the UN and the world leaders are filming you

One of the most heartwarming photos from the event is this snapshot of Deputy Secretary-General Amina J.Mohammed reaching out to Jimin like a proud parent. (Is this the UNGA or a fan meeting? Why not both!)
A sweet moment was captured between Jimin and the UN secretary general
That's our Jimin, loved by everyone!
