BTS Suga responded intensely to comments criticizing BTS’s appearance at the UN General Assembly

BTS Suga “gave a sharp look” to those who questioned BTS’s attending the UN General Assembly.

On September 22, together with BTS members, Suga went on Naver VLIVE to communicate with fans. He mentioned BTS’s appearance at the UN General Assembly and said, “Many people asked us like this, ‘You’re singers, what the hell are you doing there?'”.

In response to the criticisms, he explained, “We’re here to promote the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). We don’t have to wear colored glasses (to look like singers) here.”

He continued, “We actually knew everything about our role when we appeared at the UN. We were speakers. The number of people watching the UN General Assembly and even the interviews are often limited. In fact, we heard many people say the views did increase because of our attendance.”

BTS members also said, “If many people watched it, I think we’ve done our mission well.”
