Hyundai’s global sustainability campaign, Goal of the Century, began in April and will continue through the 2022 FIFA World Cup, held from November 21 to December 18. As part of Team Century, a group of ambassadors, BTS will play a part in Hyundai’s effort to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 by promoting environmental projects this year.

In a new interview with Hyundai, BTS were asked a few questions about their role in the campaign, such as why they chose to join Team Century. Suga said, “BTS has become a member of Team Century to help achieve a sustainable world together with Hyundai and the whole world.”

“Creating a sustainable world is no longer just a task for any one person,” Jin added. “It’s the goal of the century that everyone can achieve in solidarity.”

Jimin said, “We want to show you a lot more to achieve Goal of the Century with Hyundai and Team Century members, please look forward to what’s coming.”

How does V feel about participating in Goal of the Century? He’s excited to be part of a project that promotes solidarity, something BTS promotes through their music.

I’m excited with the idea of solidarity for sustainability which is the core of Hyundai’s FIFA World Cup™ campaign. When you think of FIFA World Cup™, solidarity comes to your mind as the whole world becomes one. So for this project, we’ll do our best to show and bring out BTS’s own unique solidarity.

Jungkook feels honored to be involved, especially with Steven Gerrard, Team Century’s captain.

It’s an honor to join the meaningful project of Hyundai, and I’m excited to be teamed up with captain Gerrard. We’d like to play our roles to help people unite for the Goal of the Century, we’ll do our best!

J-Hope and RM were asked, “What’s your goal when it comes to scoring the Goal of the Century: A united world for sustainability?” J-Hope’s goal is all about the hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Isn’t that everyone’s hope? Hope makes us dream, but these days, hope seems to be gradually losing its light around the world. Tomorrow’s dream is often the driving force to live today. It is our Goal of the Century that allows future generations to dream and live today.

— J-Hope

As for BTS’s leader, he wants future generations to have a lush, green Earth to call home.

I love growing plants. My goal of the century is to pass on the green forest, the environment, and the earth to the next generation. Just as I enjoy and take pleasure in the earth, I want to share beautiful nature with the next generation. That’s my Goal of the Century.

— RM

In addition to raising awareness and promoting sustainability, BTS will be releasing a new music collaboration for Goal of the Century. Stay tuned for more details!
