this is a weird time line
You forgot their color in the headline
Just lost all respect for UN...
What the actual fuck?
That's all we needed!!
Should have been DBSK/TVXQ...HORRIBLE management, costs that group lost opportunities. 2 is nice, 5 was OFF THE HOOK
Thank you BTS for standing in solidarity with the BDS moment and canceling your tour dates in Israel. FreePalestine
Hello! For those who may not know a lot about BTS, you may be very curious about why BTS was chosen to speak for UNICEF's new campaign. BTS has been working with UNICEF since last year for their EndViolence campaign for youth ++

CNN... News you can trust...
uhhhhhhh….South or North?
Clearly the UN is a joke.
Here before the K Pop stans
I’m sure it’ll be meaningful and riveting 🙄
Oh. Okay.
Why!

Gia36474121 oh boy!
yeah i am an army but what about SHINee?
How many times are you gonna post this?
thanks for the love 💜 BTS_twt
Be polite! Please...
They already raised more than $1 million to ENDViolence and their music delivers such an amazing message, I'm so proud of them!
if you don't know why BTS is speaking at the UN, here's why. Aside from the topics they touch on their music, they've been working with UNICEF since last year.
History is not that they're the first group to speak
I'm very proud! BTS have been working with UNICEF for more then a year now and raised over $1M for their Love Yourself End Violence campaign. They are going to be there to speak on the new initiative called Generation Unlimited.
The most overrated group of boys since just the previous overrated one direction
PeytonHaislup fetlockz I know u two love these guys, but they ain’t no nkotb!!!!
This is beautiful and important BoyBands - top ten most important things in life of people propaganda
Thanks but it has nothing to do with 'first ever kpop group' . We wanted to see BTS name standing alone. Please highlight their love myself campaign with unicef & the impact, write a better headline.. 😢
wtf ?
Curls_And_Sass what
We are proud of what they are doing with their platform & influence for ENDViolence campaign with UNICEF
People who like KPOP are just as bad a furries
Cool. 🙂
For anyone wondering why they were invited
Selalu membuat army bangga 💜💜💜 purple u so much
All armys proud of you guys
wow can't wait 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
UN getting wisdom from a boy band?
molkiisha Happy to see this getting press attention! ENDviolence 💜 For anyone who is confused: BTS have a UNICEF partnership centering on ending youth violence and a percentage of their CD and merch sales from the past year has gone towards it. They’re very caring and talented guys.
Who
they're so important. I know they are going to kill it!
I've been thru it all and flipped it all around .
Omg. Omg. Omg. Thank you for this ‘NEWS’!’
"the first ever k-pop group" and probably the last 😂👑💜
They are the voice of unheard and unspoken society... Loud and proud for BTS...
While y’all are over here behind a computer spewing hate, bts are out here actually doing something for the world and something good, leaving an impact
tattedpoc Influental Kings 👑
Okay, but why the first ever "kpop-group". Is it so normal for other artists to go and speak at the UN? Anyways, BTS are really out there, making records omg wjdj 💙
tattedpoc Yall this is first for a KOREAN ACT 😲 they must be good boys
Love them
Bias, prejudice, ignorant, self-loathing like the judgemental sheep in this comment section? Couldn’t be me. BTS have been self-composing socio-political music for 5 years now. Their messages have become more proactive w their partnership w UNICEF and their ENDviolence campaign
as a korean , i'm very proud of them!
All these people talking trash would be avoided if CNN actually stated BTS collaboratipn with UNICEF on their tweet . 🙄
You mean first ever musical group? Or artists?
I am so proud of BTS. They’ve been telling their stories about youth’s problems for years through their music. They collaborated with UNICEF on “Love Myself” campaign to end violence and 3% of their album sales go to this campaign. And now BTS will speak at the United Nations!
bts is the first *Korean boy group to speak at the United Nation. No one ever takes the kpop title seriously. not even us ARMY takes it seriously. because kpop is not a genre, Kpop is an industry just like Hollywood. Please separate kpop and bts when talking about this matter.
.BTS_twt are Indeed making a difference in the world they are the voice of the new generation a generation of LOVE. I hope the older generation would just stop being judgemental considering they didn't give anything to this world except maybe WARS
gayoongi So they’re not only dominating music industry but soon also politics? I stan 🤧
Lol people in the comment.. BTS_twt actually are the ones who initiated the end violence, love yourself campaign. It’s been very impactful all across the world. Of course they will be invited to speak about the new campaign which targets to benefits the youth.
👍🏽🙌🏽
Instead of addressing them as just another kpop group,please talk about their musical direction and their influential message. Regardless of charts, bts' music has always been influential and has messages of self love and self reflection, proving to be way comfort for a lot of us
They are young advocates for "Generation Unlimited" - a new UNICEF program focusing on youth investment from age 10 - 24. As a fan I'm glad they get to speak about this subject that they are passionate about ever since they started making music in 2013. Great role models!
BTS collaborated with UNICEF..the campaign was LOVE YOURSELF. it was for EndViolence They donated million dollars to the campaign UNICEF also tweeted about this. They are beyond that K-pop name, Above everything they are great human beings with pure hearts BTS_twt
So glad to see that BTS_twt passion for giving youth a voice has lead to the amazing initiative that is their unicef campaign EndViolence and that they now have a platform to further represent the ideals that the youth of today have 💜🙌
I'm proud of how well their collaboration with UNICEF has done. The headline tells very little of why BTS_twt will be speaking there, so please know that it is due to their ENDViolence (bts_love_myself) campaign. With this, the music BTS release during this time frame,+
What does it take to make the media, be it Korean or international, stop pretending as if K-pop (industry) is the same as BTS(artist). Corrected “as the first ever Korean artist to “.
BTS is now at the forefront of leading the actions and outcomes of a significant portion of the young generation and an entire music industry. Their collaboration with UNICEF over the last year with the LoveMyself campaign to EndViolence among young people has worked +
BTS had always given woke and intelligent discography about self love , mental health , dreams and alot more They are the first korean band to raise funds through a global campaign Love Myself ENDviolence which they introduced in nov 1st 2017 +
BTS are ambassadors for the BTSLoveMyself & ENDViolence campaign in collaboration with UNICEF and 3% of BTS album sales goes for it 💜 BTS_twt
I see a lot of negativity here, so I’m just wondering. For those of you that think this is stupid, or are against this, why do you feel that way?
I still don't understand why they need 7 members to sing their songs.
Can people pls do some research as to why BTS is doing this instead of commenting your 2009 memes and your shtty xenophobic comments. Pls, it's embarrasing...
Thank you very much for this! We're really proud of BTS and how they're the First Korean Act to speak at the United Nation we're always proud to support these noble causes together with BTS and UNICEF to improve the world BTS_twt
Please stop adding “kpop” to everything BTS related. They have made a name for themselves outside of that industry. Stop making it look like they are ONLY kpop stars. They’ve proven themselves to be true artists and that’s that.
How them giving speech is related to Kpop or being “first ever” Like, it’s not an award or competition! It’s completely unrelated 🤦♀️
important since many seem to not read the article or something so proud of them!
jmmaniago Ppl that Giving Hate to this tweet like have you done something good on your Country being Xenophobic and Racist doesn't mean you are a Good Person.
The amount of ppl commenting offensive and ignorant things about UNICEF ambassadors who are giving the youth a chance to live better lives, who openly talk about societal issues and mental health giving a speech on the UN Gen Assembly here is truly disappointing. Shame. 😔
For measly 3%of the sales they get worldwide advertisement. That is smart ... not generous.
Stupid K-Pop. Sounds like nails to a god damn chalk board.
La razón por la que BTS_twt va a las Naciones Unidas ENDviolence
Sorry but no other Kpop group talking about serious issues other than BTS, so the "first kpop to.. " narrative doesn't fit here
I'm excited to hear what BTS_twt have to say and how they're going to follow up their UNICEF LoveMyself endviolence campaign.
robertsontory
YES KOREAN BOY BAND ❤️
I just hope that the journalists (at least working at the prestigious ones) are focusing on why BTS_twt were invited by UN and what the values are, and stop talking about that they are first in kpop, about kpop, fans, etc. REALLY sick of it. ENDviolence
gcfinmyheart I’m so proud
myselaalvarez
Those who are interested to read about BTS_twt global campaign "Love Myself" should read it here: ENDviolence
😴
Or a logical Presiden
I am so so proud. Doing Good things for the youth.. thanks BTS_twt
Kpop group? What does Kpop have to do with them being an ambassador? Media got to stop with labeling. Jeez.
Can u fix the caption? It's the first korean artists not kpop or first artists
choi_bts2 First korean act ✌✌👑👑👑
The 'Kpop' word i think too small to handle it ✊
__gaciria What an undermining caption...
choi_bts2 First kpop group?was there a solo korean artist once invited in UN? Educate me if i dont know..if not then please correct your caption...
Just a suggestion, but apart from their chart achievements, you could've also included the social messages incorporated in their lyrics. The boys started the band with the dream of being a positive influence to the youth. Including that in such an article would've been apt.
So proud of BTS_twt They are a perfect match considering their work with UNICEF and the ENDviolence global campaign. They have worked hard contributing funds and bringing awareness towards protecting children and teens from violence.
BTS has been praised for speaking about topics they deem important they talk about mental health and people’s struggles they’ve been doing this since 2013, in 2017 they collaborated with unicef on love myself anti violence campaign and started donating money of their own albums.
This is great! 👏👏👏 Now if other people could just take the time to actually read the article and understand what it's about.
It's not about kpop anymore!!! Oh please!! They are invited because of their partnership with UNICEF. please educate your self!!!!
The non-BTS fan here commenting trash are don't know RESEARCH at all...why not spend 5 mins of research of them b4 commentingi wonder where are u all when RESEARCH has been taught in school..
BTS_twt IS MORE THAN YOUR ASSUMPTIONS PLEASE GET TO KNOW THEIR INTENTIONS 💜✌️
jurnalist vante_verse add your article here 👍💪🙏💜️
🤣
For those who are too prejudiced to actually read the article, this is why they are speaking at the UN. 3% of all albums sales in the Love Yourself series is donated to UNICEF; so far raising over $1M USD.
The pressed comments here makes me laugh! Bts really has ppl out here popping a vein
They are UNICEF partners and the second Koreans full stop.
choi_bts2 Can u change the title to FIRST EVER KOREAN ARTIST...
choi_bts2 i'm really happy to see a lot of fans calmly explaining their unicef partnership to curious or slightly sceptical readers.. i hope they can be more open to this since this isn't just about their music, it's about them using their platform for a good cause as unicef ambassadors
When you said “album of the same name” you meant “the album Love Yourself: Answer”.
bjmnt i understand the intention, but this isnt a competition as to which kpop group is first or whatnot. BTS are going to be therebc of their meaningful music and the message they aim to deliver to the world, and not necessarily because they're a kpop group
choi_bts2 SO PROUD! THE'RE ON ANOTHER LEVEL😍💜👍
Thank you for covering *Korean group* (not Kpop industry) BTS_twt who is leading a global movement of all cultures/ages with an important message. Once you remove BTS’ massive sales & achievements from the picture you will see that Kpop is NOT taking over the world, only BTS.
Ppl under this acting like they care about the UN, sit down. This just shows how ignorant and uneducated a person could be. These guys are going what y'all could never do and you look pathetic judging them because of the "kpop" name. In fact, this has nothing to do with kpop.
choi_bts2 soooo proud!!!😍🙏👏👏👏
BTSLoveMyself UNICEF ENDviolence BTS_twt IS MORE THAN YOUR ASSUMPTIONS PLEASE LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR INTENTIONS 💜✌️
This makes me so happy. They are so compassionate 💜
The reason as why they are speaking at the UN next Monday is because they are UNICEF Ambassadors. They have a campaign that started in 2017 called Love Myself, is for End violence against children. With each album sold 3% goes to campaign. The campaign has raised over $1m+
Can we stop making everything BTS achieves about kpop? This has literally nothing to do with kpop. Even if it's your way of labelling them, it sounds as if any other group could achieve this, which it's not true. This is about their UNICEF campaign, not some popularity stage...
Am so proud of them!! 💜👏🏼 BTS_twt
ignorant people commenting here but when ARMYs replied to their trash comment and educate them what is BTS connection to UNICEF and why they are invited for speech on UN ASSEMBLY they will be silent LOL
Thank you for this well researched and concise report. I hope people will actually read the article and realize that it's about them using their celebrity platform to help make the world a better place for youth. BTS are very passionate about about helping others.
they fit the ceremony speech. UN + bts spreading message through their music about social problems. Their ability to heal ppl is amazing. Everyone, we all can witness how they kill that speech. I am so excited. BTS never disappoints.
If you would like more Information on the philanthropic project by BTS_twt in partnership with UNICEF thats gives them the opportunity to be a much needed voice for Young people UN assembly Please visit
Bangtan 소년단!!
The world is truly ending.
BTS_twt is bigger than assumptions THEY ARE ABOUT INTENTIONS. They want to be a source of help and comfort for the world and are not limited by borders so YES they belong in front of world leaders EndViolence UNICEF millions donated of their own profits OneInAnARMY campaigns
After seeing this I am thinking I have used enough internet today. Time to take a break.
marsbars2816 !!
Slow news day? What you guys couldn’t dig up another bash Tump story?
This has zero to do w K-Pop and everything to do with BTS_twt alone.
"first ever kpop group" makes it sound like it's a normal average occurrence for musicians to speak here. The headline should focus on bts as individuals who chose to incorporate their album sales with UNICEF for the over a year and have raised millions of dollars doing so.
UN is becoming an entertainment organization?
Hello! For those who may not know a lot about BTS, you may be very curious about why BTS was chosen to speak for UNICEF's new campaign. BTS has been working with UNICEF for the past two years for their EndViolence campaign for youth ++
BTSXUNICEF BTS_twt
I hope all 7 of them get a chance to speak given the magnitude of the event. I love RM and his eloquent delivery during interviews but I don't want the other guys to get overlooked for this opportunity, it's too important. ♡♡♡ Congrats guys on bringing awareness to this cause!
BTS has been working with UNICEF for +a year already with the end violence campaign
the guys of BTS, since their debut in 2013, have hungered for a platform to address social injustice, especially in regards to our youth. i commend their philosophy and message. their ENDViolence BTSLoveMyself campaigns with UNICEF are important and empowering.

👏👏👏👏💗 BTS_twt
This is ground breaking. I created another account to block any news about them but I can’t seem to get away from them. This is the pain of not being able to get a BTS concert ticket. Yes the demand is outrageously $$$ and high. bts_twt
BTS making histories but the haters gonna hate 💁🏻♀️
The fact that you always have to say "Kpop" just say musical group BTS.... they have raised well over a million dollars with their partnership with UNICEF and it's not strange at all that they would be invited to speak about that.
I am happy that people will see why BTS_twt is so loved by their fans. They have been helping the youth cope with issues since their debut and BTS’s positive message of loving yourself in their last album series truly saved many lives.
I bet it's gonna be RM who does the talking. FYI to the muggles: the guy has IQ 148 and scored 900 for his TOEIC.
que todo por una vez
For all the ignorants, BTS have a campaign with UNICEF. It's not just about their music but the message they want to share.
So, like, they gonna speak in unison or each take turns over that 3 min period. 7 people speaking for 3 mins is a weird concept.
Haters Gonna hate.. players gonna play....!!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 BTS_twt YOU DON'T GIVE THEM CHANCE TO SAY A SPEECH.. THEY GIVE US THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO THEM..!!!
But why
NomaGcabashe
This ain’t about kpop ,people Stop wasting your time expressing your hate over a talented boy group that is trying to raise awareness by making music & using their success for good .
It's a honour for BTS
Music is not just a note,its the word that has meaning
Finally, world peace is within our grasp.
Congratulations 🎊
Finally the injustice has ended
Just in time to save the world.
I love ❤️ bts I will always love u
I think boy band is too gender specific & it bullies other bands.
So proud of you BTS_twt 💜
god save us..
Why?
Wow
Lol
I could have sworn there were 3 other K-Pop bands that spoke there before
Holy shit wait what?
