🎶 BTS members J-Hope, RM, Suga, Jungkook, V, Jin and Jimin joined White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at a White House press briefing Tuesday on the final day of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

After the band members spoke and had their comments translated, reporters began to ask them questions, but Jean-Pierre — who had said previously that members wouldn't take questions — intervened, saying, “We're gonna go.” That prompted BTS members to offer, “We're sorry" as they filed away from the podium.

“I get to go home and tell my kids that BTS opened for me,” Deese joked, adding that he was sure the room was “as excited” to talk about inflation's impact on the U.S. economy as they'd been for the band. Following those shootings, Asian American organizations across the U.S. staged unity events and took to social media to call for an end to racist attacks. Within days, BTS tweeted, “We stand against racial discrimination” and included the hashtags #StopAsianHate and #StopAAPIHate.
